PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION DEVICE

A pedestrian protection device includes a left airbag and a right airbag are of configurations that expand on a left and a right respectively of a wiper pivot disposed centrally in a vehicle width direction. Cowl cover portions of the left airbag and the right airbag that cover an upper face side of a cowl are of a configuration such that end side regions on sides in proximity to each other are caused to come into contact in a position above the wiper pivot. The end side region of one of the cowl cover portions covers the wiper pivot from above in such a way as to be able to restrict contact between a pedestrian and the wiper pivot.
