I am looking to buy a Gallardo that recently came up for sale locally. However, I have my doubts as to whether or not I would be able to take my 3-year old son or my 18-month-old daughter with me since I could not find a switch or any indication that the airbags could be deactivated. I don't want to buy a car I can't take them in, which is why I was wondering if the airbags can be deactivated and have a car seat successfuly installed.

The car comes with an airbag key that deactivates the pass airbag. You might check your state regulations, I think some laws prevent young ones from riding in the front seat of any car airbag deactivated or not.

Where is the key located? I tried looking and didnt find anything. The owner had no idea where to look either as he never used it. What is the procedure to deactivate the airbag?
There's no law against children riding in the front seat in TX

It usually a little gray plastic handled key. Mine stays int the leather case with the owners manual but people keep them anywhere. look on the right side inside the glove box. Insert the key and turn and it should deactivate the airbag.

The Gallardo's come with the child seat hooks and over-ride key switch for the air bags. Mine is an 06 and it uses the ignition key to disable the passenger airbag. The key switch is located in the glove box. It is my understanding that the earlier cars did have a special key for this purpose it will be indicated in the owners manual.

I have taken my son (2 months at the time) for a ride in my Spyder, and the seat hooked up without problems.
