The chamberhas a head protecting chamberstored in an upper portion of a backrest portionof a seatand a pair of side protecting chambersstored in opposing positions separated in a vehicle width direction on both left and right sides of the backrest portion. At the time of expansion and deployment, the side protecting chamberexpands and deploys between the seatbeltand occupant, and thus the airbagis configured such that a space S is formed between the occupantand airbagdeployed at a position where the seatbeltpasses.
