Abstract
A motor vehicle includes at least one vehicle seat to which a child seat mounted thereon can be fastened, with a device being provided for deactivating an airbag located in front of the seat when the child seat is mounted. In order for such a device to be capable of being retrofitted simply and economically even in existing standard vehicles, the device is composed of an additional tongue mounted on the child seat and a buckle that is actively connected with a central triggering unit, so that the airbag is deactivated when the tongue is inserted into the buckle and said airbag is reactivated when the tongue and buckle connection is broken.
