Abstract
Abstract A seating arrangement for a motor car has a seat for occupation by an adult comprising a squab and a back. A child's seat is incorporated in the back of the adult seat and is movable from a retracted position, in which the child seat is accommodated within a recess formed in the back of the adult seat, to an operative position. The child seat has a squab which incorporates a mechanism adapted to move squab elements from an initial position to an operative position. The overall size of the squab when the squab elements are in the operative position is greater than the size when the squab elements are in the initial position. The mechanism is actuated on movement of a control member.
