Abstract
A vehicle seat that is folded and stowed in a recess in the floor of a vehicle. A rear portion of the seat has shiftable elements that are moved within channels formed in tracks. The shiftable elements may be rollers that move in box channel tracks. A front portion of the seat is supported by link arms that pivot as the seat is stowed in the recess. Locking pins on the link arms are received in a series of holes that permit fore and aft adjustment of the seat position.
