Abstract

A vehicle seat includes: a base mounted to a floor of a vehicle; a seat cushion that is placed on the base and allowed to be tipped up with a rotating shaft as a fulcrum; an ottoman that is provided on a front side of the seat cushion and extractable between a normal position and an extracted position; a seat back that is provided in a rear end of the seat cushion; and a storage locking mechanism that is capable of relatively moving the ottoman with respect to the seat cushion in a storing direction which is a direction opposite to an extracting direction, wherein the storage locking mechanism is operated such that the seat back becomes in a forward-tiltable state and/or the seat cushion becomes in a tippable state, and locking of the locking mechanism is released so that the ottoman becomes movable in the storing direction.
