Abstract

A vehicle seat of the present invention includes: a seatback frame which has side frame sections on both sides thereof in a seat width direction; a load transmission member which projects toward an outside in the seat width direction from one of the side frame sections and transmits an impact load input from a side of a vehicle body to the seatback frame; and a side airbag device which is provided with an inflator which generates a gas when the impact load is input and a folded bag body to be deployed when the pressure of the gas is received. The inflator is attached to the load transmission member or the side frame section, and the bag body is disposed at a position which is further outside than a gas discharge port of the inflator in the seat width direction and is opposed to a surface facing the vehicle front side of the load transmission member.
