Abstract

A vehicle seat is provided with a linkage that may be used to raise and lower a front portion of the seat base. A track assembly is provided in combination with the linkage that moves the seat in a fore-and-aft direction with the seat back in either an upright or fold flat position. The linkage for adjusting the position of the front of the seat base may be actuated by pivoting the seat back between the upright and fold flat position.
