Abstract
A seat with a side air bag for a motor vehicle is provided with an air bag module that includes an inflator and an air bag, and is incorporated in a seat back portion of the seat. The air bag is inflated to fill a space between an occupant and a side wall of the vehicle. The seat further includes a first skin member covering each side face of the seat back portion, and a second skin member covering a front face of the seat back portion. The second skin member is sewed to one end of the first skin member. A reinforcing member is provided on at least a part of a rear surface of the first skin member, for controlling a direction in which the air bag expands out of the seat back portion.
