Airbags are standard in every modern vehicle, and even base trims have a full complement of these essential safety tools. The devices deploy in the event of forward or perpendicular-impact collisions.Â
The two most common airbags are front and side curtain. The driver and passenger may hit the dash or windshield during an accident. The cushions prevent contact with these hard surfaces. Likewise, the units to the right and left protect riders from hitting the windows. These options cover every row on vehicles like the Chrysler Grand Caravan.Â
Another type of airbag inflates across the roof to protect everyone during a rollover. Some models also feature seat-mounted varieties, which limit violent head movements. Others provide additional protection for the knees and torso of those in the front.Â
Airbags can prove dangerous to children, which is why safety experts suggest that they always sit in the rear in age-appropriate restraints.Â
