Abstract
A vehicle seat assembly (10) of the type for moving between an upright seating position and a forwardly folded position. The assembly (10) includes a first seat assembly (24) mounted to a forward seating area (20) of the vehicle floor by a first frame assembly (26). The first frame assembly (16) allows forward folding movement of the first seat (24). The assembly (10) further includes a second seat assembly (40) which overlies the load carrying platform (18) when in the upright seating position. A second frame assembly (42) allows forward pivoting movement of the second seat (40). When the assembly (10) is in the forwardly folded position, a lip (56) on the bottom of the second seat (40) engages a recess (37) on the first seat (24). In this position, the first (24) and second (40) seats are disposed in the forward seating area (20), and the backrest (36) of the first seat (24) and the bottom (50) of the second seat (40) are substantially flush with the load carrying platform.
