An add-on child seat relates to an add-on child seat comprising a seating surface and a back rest surface for the child. At a distance to these surfaces there is provided an airbag as an impact protection for the child and which, in the case of a collision of the vehicle, is to be released. The airbag is formed as a knob shaped end of a carrier, this carrier extending between the legs of the child and is anchored in the region under the seating surface. With this design, in the case of an accident, the child can be quickly and simply removed from the seat without having to interrupt the mounting parts of the airbag.

Add-on child seat

There is disclosed an airbag arrangement for a vehicle seat, in particular for the rear seat of a motor vehicle. The airbag is so arranged laterally at the end of a carrier which is fastened on the side of the seat or of the back rest, that a person seated neighboring the carrier is essentially protected towards the front by the airbag. The carrier is pivotably mounted about an axis from a rest position into a working position and vise versa, this axis lying approximately parallel to a cutting axis formed between the seat surface and the back rest surface. The carrier together with airbag located thereon, in the rest position, lies in a recess in the seat surface or back rest surface, flushly closed with this surface.
