Can anyone tell me if you can:

1) turn off the airbag in a 599/F12/812?
2) fit a child seat in each of the above?

Looking at getting a V12 ferrari in the next few months, not decided between any of the above, really like the 599 and that was what I wanted when they came out, but also like the idea of an 812 as it's possibly the last of it's kind.

Not after an FF / GT4 as I've other cars that do the family stuff already, however I would like whatever 2 seat car I get to be able to drop the kid at school on the way to work, or take out from time to time for father and son / father and daughter time.

Does anyone else take their kids out in their front engined V12?

Yes. In my FF. laugh Don’t discount one until you’ve tried it. It does the family stuff like no other car.

Can’t help with the airbag question though. Sorry.

I've already got 4 other cars that can take the family - but no longer have an impractical sports car in the household lol, that's why I figured on one of the above. I was looking at FF's / GT4's etc... but the intention was to use this car very selfishly for date nights with the Mrs and occasional track days, as the kids never really loved my sports cars as much as they like the Bentayga, Tesla, Ram, Defender (all of which are vastly more popular with them than my 911 was).

smile the kids are young - give them a chance!
Of all the family cars you mention, our kids would choose the FF every time (although, in truth, they would prefer the F12 but they can’t both fit in it at once!)
