An airbag system 10 for use in a passenger vehicle 20 includes a first airbag 14 and a second airbag 16 and a first airbag module 12. The first airbag module is mounted in a first front seatback 38 and the first airbag in a deflated condition is disposed in the bracket. The first airbag in an inflated condition is sized to span a gap G between the first front seatback and a second front seatback 40. A second airbag 16 in a deflated condition is included as part of one of the first airbag module and a second airbag module. The second airbag in an inflated condition overlays the first airbag on one of a forward side and a rearward side. The first airbag may be fixed to the second airbag or in a second embodiment (figs. 4 & 5) they may be separate. By spanning the space between the front seats G the airbag system may protect a passenger in the rear center seat.
