The present disclosure relates to an airbag arrangement (2) for a vehicle, the airbag arrangement (2) comprising - a deployable airbag (4, 4', 4", 4"'), the airbag (4, 4', 4", 4"') having a packed state and a deployed state, - a gas generator (6) adapted to supply gas to deploy the airbag (4, 4', 4", 4"') from the packed state to the deployed state, the gas generator (6) being adapted to, at least during initial deployment of the airbag (4, 4', 4"), emit a gas flow substantially in a pre-selected direction, wherein a portion of the airbag (4, 4', 4", 4"'), when being in its packed state, forms a starting pocket (20) comprising two panels (22, 24) with an intermediate apex (26), the starting pocket (20) being positioned with the intermediate apex (26) being aligned with the pre-selected direction, such that the starting pocket (20) during the initial deployment of the airbag (4, 4', 4") initially receives the gas flow, thereby deploying the starting pocket (20) in the pre-selected direction. The invention further relates to a vehicle seat (10) comprising such an airbag arrangement (2) and a method of packing an airbag (4, 4', 4", 4"').
