You're 100% right, I forgot about the airbag. You'll definitely need to get a switch installed before putting any kids in the car. I'll be doing the same to my car.
To answer MileHighMotoring, the booster seat from Eddie Bauer I use in my Model S is way to wide to fit in the Roadster seat. Will Tesla install the air bag switch? IF not, who would do it?

To legally install the switch, you'll need to fill and apply for a variance with this form:

Then you can take the approval to an authorized airbag shop who can install the switch. Tesla is not one of those shops unfortunately.
