Abstract
A vehicle seat includes a seat frame having a seat portion and a cover skirt covering the frame below the seat portion to form a footwell termination at a front region of the cover skirt. The front region of the cover skirt includes a pair of side walls, a front wall, and a back wall. The side and front walls are articulately connected and the side walls are foldable and coupled between the front and back walls. The front wall is displaceable away from the back wall to a pulled-out position in which the side walls are unfolded and the side walls, the front wall, and the back wall together form a storage compartment. The front wall is displaceable toward the back wall to a pushed-in position in which the side walls are folded and lie between the front and back walls and the front and back walls meet.
