A vehicle seat air bag arrangement has a side operating air bag module including a gas generator, an air bag package and a gas delivery device which connects the gas generator to the air bag package. The vehicle seat has a backrest part and a seat part each having a frame with frame members constructed in such a way that they can accommodate air bag module components providing a very packed and secure accommodation of air bag module parts which has a favorable effect on driving safety and production costs.
