An inflatable airbag includes a rearwardly directed surface to be contacted by the occupant when expanded, an end located at a side opposite to the rearwardly directed surface and having a hole for receiving an inflation gas, and laterally spaced side surfaces extending between the rearwardly directed surface and the end, and oriented substantially vertically in the passenger compartment. The side surfaces have inwardly extending depressions formed in a middle portion of each side surface of the airbag as viewed in a vertical direction and located away from the rearwardly directed surface to restrict movement of the inflation gas inside the airbag when the occupant hits the inflated airbag.
