The curtain airbag has an enlarged inflating portion that overlaps a center of a head of the passenger as seen in a side view, when the vehicle seat has been slid to a predetermined position at a vehicle rear side and the seatback has been set in a relaxed posture of being reclined to a recommended limit position.
