It may mean that your car was built before the LE in question, just registered after. I also have an LE with this switch in the glove box.
It's unlikley you'd be putting you baby in the front anyway isn't it
Back seat is surely a safer position. I had both my kids in the Coupe until I got fed up with moving the seat forward and them kicking me in the back
That was when they were in a stage 2 seat and 4 & 7 years respectively. I now use a booster seat in the front if required and leave the air bag on.
I had no worries, or accidents (touch wood)
