Disable front passenger air bags

My daughter is nearly 4yrs old and I'd like her to sit in the front passenger seat.

Is there a way to disable the passenger airbags to make this possible?

thanks

If this is the plastic backing of the seat, how about using some All Purpose Cleaner (APC) from Megs/Autosmart at 10:1 and a nailbrush and wipe over with a damp microfibre.

Or is this leather?

If you buy a DVD Nav from eBay, it should simply plug and play.
That's what I did for my 3 series from CD - DVD Nav.

That's quite expensive for a Nav or is that the monitor you're referring to?
