A passenger protecting device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a side airbag portion that is accommodated at an interior of a side support portion that protrudes toward a seat upper side from a seat transverse direction outer side with respect to a seat portion of a seat cushion at a vehicle seat, and that, by receiving a supply of gas and inflating at a time of a side collision including an oblique side collision of a vehicle, causes the side support portion to bulge toward the seat upper side, and protects a femoral region and a lumbar region of a passenger from the seat transverse direction outer side;
- and
- a seat cushion airbag portion that is accommodated at an interior of the seat portion, and that, by receiving a supply of gas and inflating at a time of a front collision including an oblique side collision of the vehicle, causes the seat portion to bulge toward the seat upper side and raises the femoral region of the passenger, inflation of the seat cushion airbag portion being completed later than that of the side airbag portion,
- wherein the passenger is an AM50 World SID dummy, and
- wherein at least one of the following (A) and (B) applies:
- A) an upper portion of the side airbag portion is, in an inflated state, disposed further to an upper side in the seat vertical direction than an upper surface of the seat portion,
