A vehicle airbag (10, Figure 1) having an inflatable cushion made from flexible material defining at least one internal chamber comprises mounting region(s) 18 for attachment to a vehicle. A polymeric mounting member 20a is moulded to the airbag within a mounting region. The mounting member may be a bush 22 having a central bore 24 for a bolt to fasten the airbag to a vehicle. Alternatively, the moulded mounting member (80, Figure 10) may comprise an integrally moulded push-fit mounting clip. The airbag may have several moulded mounting members, of one or more types comprising two (Figure 5) or more (Figures 6 to 8) pieces. Each mounting member may be moulded through (Figure 9) or around (Figure 5) the airbag fabric (14); and may be shaped to fit around other vehicle parts (Figure 9). The airbag may be a curtain airbag. A method of manufacturing the airbag, and a vehicle having such an airbag, are also claimed.
