A seat belt system 10 has a retractor 28; a lap belt 14, an inflator 200, a buckle 210 and a tongue 220. The flexible, retractable inflatable lap belt 14 is attached to the retractor 28. The lap belt 14 protectively houses an inflatable member including an airbag 116 which includes a feed or fill hose 118. The buckle and tongue are configured to receive and transmit inflation gas from the inflator 200 to the lap belt 14. The airbag 116 is located at a fixed distance from the buckle 210 and when activated the inflation gas flows through the seat belt buckle 210 into the tongue 220 and then into the airbag 116 which is fixedly located on the lap belt 14 at the fixed distance.
