Default To use seats with air bags or not??

Been looking about for some seats, in particular either Mazda 2 or 3 seats.
You can buy them for around $200 a pair with air bags & controller/sensor included, which I think is pretty good value.
So the question is-do you reckon its worth going for a seat that has an airbag included ?I'd like some opinions on it please

If the seats are good, go for it but take the air bags out or at least disable them before you install them - there's no need for a nasty accidental discharge.

Agree. Would be a bad idea to try and get a system to work in a completely different car.

Have you checked the width, height and thickness of the seats. I would have thought they would be too bulky for a Harrison cockpit. Normally only the smallest and slimmest sports car seats will fit.

If a Cobra can set off car alarms in other cars, what could it do to your seat air-bags??

I keep thinking of those youtube prank vids where they put an airbag in the couch and wait for someone to sit down.
