Abstract
In an airbag inflatable inside a seating portion of a vehicle's seat, the design flexibility, in terms of shape and height, of the airbag in an inflated state is increased. An airbag device () includes an airbag () and an inflator (). The airbag () is disposed inside a seating portion of a seat and is inflated under a seated occupant. The inflator () generates gas to inflate and deploy the airbag (). The airbag () includes an upper base fabric piece (), a lower base fabric piece (), and a pair of side base fabric pieces (), which are joined to one another and form an air chamber () therein. The pair of side base fabric pieces () are disposed at part of side portions between the upper base fabric piece () and the lower base fabric piece () and define the shape of the air chamber () in an inflated state.
