A vehicle air bag module includes a container for a folded air bag and structure for attaching an inflator to the container. The container is initially assembled with an air bag disposed therein.

Thus, the container can be formed as an initial assembly, and the inflator can be attached to the container as the final step in the assembly of the air bag module.
