Correct answer
Cushion occupant impact and reduce injuries in a collision, complementing the seat belt.
An airbag is a passive safety element that complements the seat belt and cushions occupant impact, helping reduce injuries in a collision. It does not replace a seat belt or an appropriate child restraint. Its primary purpose is not to protect children or short occupants especially; deployment can cause injury with an unsuitable position or restraint. Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active frontal airbag.
