Turning off passenger side airbag on 02

[jsour]

Hello,

I have to move some stuff in the back of my 02 explorer 4-door and will need to fold down the rear passenger seats.

My 7-yr old will need to travel with me, and I want to shut off the passenger side airbag while he is traveling in the front seat.

Is there a easy way to disable the passenger side airbag for one trip? Can it be unplugged or maybe pull a fuse?

Thanks,
Joby

Any of those steps will throw a code. That does not mean the bag will not go off though.
Unfortunately there are not many viable and safe options.
