Front facing Car Seat in a truck

Our truck has the option of turning off the passenger-side airbag when a carseat is in use. I know that it should always be turned off for a rear-facing carseat but now that our daughter is old enough to face front, do we still need to turn the airbag off?

Carseats and front airbags

First, if your truck does have an extended/crew cab with a second row bench seat, children 12 and under should ride in back if at all possible. If you have no back seat or only side-facing jump seats, then the front seat is a possiblity.
