A vehicle airbag (10, Fig. 1) 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 (20a) may be a bush (22a) having a central bore (24) for a bolt to fasten the airbag to a vehicle. Alternatively, the moulded mounting member (80, Fig. 10) may comprise an integrally moulded push-fit mounting clip (82). The airbag may have several moulded mounting members, of one or more types comprising two (Fig. 5) or more (Figs. 6 to 8) pieces. Each mounting member may be moulded through (Figs. 9, 10) or around (Figs. 3, 5) the airbag fabric (14); and may be shaped to fit around other vehicle parts (Fig. 9). The airbag may be a curtain airbag. A method of manufacturing the airbag, and a vehicle having such an airbag, are also claimed.
