A vehicle safety seat for protecting a vehicle occupant from airborne debris and serious injury in the event of an accident. The vehicle safety seat includes a seat having a seat bottom, a backrest, and a headrest, wherein the seat is pivotally secured to a frame. The frame is secured to a floor of a vehicle so as to allow the seat to recline upon collision in order to absorb inertial forces resulting from impact with another object. The safety seat further includes one or more airbags disposed on each of the lateral sides of the seat bottom, the backrest, and the headrest. The airbags are operably connected to an inflator that inflates and deploys the airbags upon detection of a signal output via one or more sensors. The sensors can detect a pending collision between the vehicle and another object.
