Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a vehicle seat structure struc­ture which incorporates a child's chair. The chair is constructed so as to enable it to be fitted to the back rest (2) or seat cushion of the vehicle seat structure structure. The vehicle seat structure includes a section (4) which is mounted detachable on the back rest (2) of the vehicle seat structure or the seat cushion thereof, in a manner to enable the section to be extended there­from. The chair (8) can be collapsed to a state in which it can be accommodated in a cavity (3) provided in the back rest (2) or the seat cushion. The chair (8) is also constructed in a manner to enable the chair to be ex­tended from the cavity (3) and developed to form a rearwardly facing child's chair in the vehicle.
