Both front seats have tags "SRS Airbags" on their back seam, closest
to the door.  Are these "side" airbags?  Or, are they air bags for
some sitting in back?

There is probably a little tag somewhere on the side of the seat that
says 'Airbag'. As long as the seat cover doesn't cover that area, you
would be okay (i.e., something that only covers the front side of the
seat, not the sides). 'SRS' stands for Supplemental Restraint System
and doesn't necessarily mean you have side airbags..

Hi All,

   My 2006 Forrester has "SRS Airbags".  As I understand
it, when they trigger, they explode out the side of
my seats.

   Hmmmmmmmm.  This probably means that I should not get a seat cover
that covers the side of the seats.  I presume you don't want to
obstruct the air bags.  Am I right on this? Or, are the air bags
somewhere in the door?

   Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
-T
