Abstract
A stowable vehicle seat provides for movement of the seat cushion of the seat from an elevated seating position to a stowed position adjacent the floor of the vehicle only upon movement of the seat back from a vertical seating position to a generally horizontal folded position. A parallel link arrangement is provided between the vehicle and the seat cushion and a control linkage provides for shifting the parallel link arrangement from a locked to a free position in response to movement of the seat back.
