Vehicle seat assembly

Abstract

A vehicle seat assembly has a passenger seat with a passenger seat member and a passenger seat back, and a child seat assembly with a seating part and a back rest part. The child seat assembly provides first and second alternative child seat configurations. In one embodiment, the seat assembly has a passenger seat member which is movable between a first position in which the child seat assembly is substantially hidden from view and a second position in which the child seat assembly is exposed to enable the first child seat configuration to be unfolded to seat a child passenger. The child seat assembly may be mounted so that it can be removed completely from the assembly. In another embodiment, the passenger seat member is movable between a first position in which a seating surface is defined for an adult passenger, and a second position in which, for example, a reverse side of the seat member defines a back rest surface for a child passenger.
