Abstract
A vehicle safety apparatus for restraining the movements of an adult and/or a child during a vehicle collision includes an inflatable air bag (18). The air bag has an upper chamber (26) for holding gas to restrain the adult and a lower chamber (28) for holding gas to restrain the child. A first gas source (22) is provided for inflating the upper chamber to a first pressure to restrain the movement of the adult. A second gas source (24) is provided for inflating the lower chamber to a second pressure which is less than the first pressure, to restrain the movement of the child. The first and second gas sources (22, 24) are simultaneously activated to inflate the upper and lower chambers.
