Abstract

A passenger seat having a seat back with a head restraint, the seat back pivotally attached to a seat cushion or a floor of a vehicle. When the seat back is folded down, the head restraint pivots up to allow the seat back to lay generally horizontal on the seat cushion thereby maximizing storage space without it contacting a front passenger seat.
