An airbag apparatus for a vehicle includes an inflator, an airbag configured to be expanded and deployed from an instrument panel when supplied with gas so as to be positioned on a front side of an occupant, and a flow guide cloth disposed inside the airbag. The flow guide cloth is configured to be expanded and deployed when the gas flows into the flow guide cloth and discharge the gas into the airbag. A rear end portion is spaced from a rear wall of the airbag. A rear outlet is disposed in the rear end portion and configured to discharge the gas into a rear end portion of the airbag. A front outlet is disposed in a front portion and configured to discharge the gas into a front portion of the airbag. An opening area of the rear outlet is larger than an opening area of the front outlet.

A dual stage inflator for an inflatable vehicle safety device includes a second stage combustion cup having a first member and a second member. The first and second members are formed separately from one another and cooperate to define an interior for receiving a second stage gas generant material.

An initiator for a gas generator of a vehicle safety device includes a cup defining an interior, a primary pyrotechnic material disposed in the interior of the cup, and a secondary pyrotechnic material disposed in the interior of the cup. A separator member hermetically separates the primary pyrotechnic material from the secondary pyrotechnic material.
