Abstract
A passenger-seat airbag () includes a pair of left and right airbags (), and a root portion () that is connected to both of the left and right airbags (). When the passenger-seat airbag () is provided in a vehicle, an airbag folded portion () that forms the left and right airbags () is positioned closer to the rear of the vehicle than the root portion () is, and a slack portion () that forms the root portion () is made upright along the airbag folded portion (), and is positioned closer to the front of the vehicle than the airbag folded portion () is. Thus, the slack portion () is expanded and deployed toward a windshield earlier to form 'a wall'. Then, the left and right airbags () are stably deployed toward a passenger seat (toward the rear of the vehicle).
