A seat arrangement for a vehicle includes a side airbag. The seat arrangement includes a support frame to which the side airbag is fixed in position and which is upholstered by an upholstery member. A cover terminates the seat arrangement toward an outer side. A tear seam is provided for an abrupt opening of the cover by the side airbag. A non-expandable surface structure is provided at both sides of the tear seam, which is counter-supported on the seat arrangement. At least one of the non-expandable surface structures is counter-supported on the upholstery member.

Method for producing a weakened decorative composite from at least one decorative material (25) and a spacer fabric (11), in particular for producing coverings of airbags in motor vehicles, which spacer fabrics (11) have an upper cover layer (12) and a lower cover layer (13) and a layer (15) having spacer threads (14) is located between the cover layers (12, 13), wherein the weakenings in the spacer fabric (11) are blind holes (16) which are introduced into the lower cover layer (13) of the spacer fabric (11), wherein the blind holes (16) substantially pass through the lower cover layer (13) and the layer (15) having the spacer threads (14) and the upper cover layer (12) is substantially not weakened.

An assembly includes a seat having a seat bottom and a seatback supported by the seat bottom. The seat bottom, defining an occupant-seating area, has a seat-forward end and a seat-rearward end. An airbag is inflatable from an uninflated position to an inflated position and is supported on the seat bottom at the seat-forward end. The airbag has a cavity configured to receive a removable child-restraint system on the occupant-seating area. A pyrotechnic retractor is supported by the seat and operatively coupled to the airbag to position the cavity at the occupant-seating area. The assembly includes a computer including a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to detect a removable child-restraint system on the occupant-seating area and, based on detection of a removable child-restraint system, inflate the airbag to the inflated position in response to certain vehicle impacts.
