A seat device for a vehicle includes a baby back being a divided part of a seat cushion, the divided part being raised to form a backrest portion of a baby seat at a position facing a seatback, and a baby back airbag being provided at the baby back. The backrest portion of the baby seat is formed with a baby seat support shape in a seat width direction by an expansion of the baby back airbag.

A child seat includes a horizontal seat panel and a vertical backrest panel that are each respectively received within a designated compartment in the seat and backrest of an existing passenger seat. Upon command, actuators displace both panels from their designated compartments to form a child seat when needed. A blanket is stored within a pocket mounted on the rear surface of the existing backrest to comfort a passenger. The blanket includes sleeves that allow the passenger to use the arms while covered, an opening for receiving a passenger seat headrest and an inflatable neck pillow encircling a head aperture.

Passenger assemblies for installation in a passenger cabin of a vehicle are provided. In one implementation, a reconfigurable assembly is adapted to be incorporated in a vehicle, the reconfigurable assembly including at least a base member fixed within a row of passenger seats of the vehicle. The base member includes one or more attachment members. The reconfigurable assembly further includes a seat unit including a frame having one or more attachment members adapted for removable attachment with the one or more attachment members of the base member. Also, the reconfigurable assembly includes a console unit including a frame having one or more attachment members adapted for removable attachment with the one or more attachment members of the base member.

A stowable harness system for a vehicle seat is provided. The vehicle seat has a storage area under a horizontal seat portion that pivots to provide access. The harness system includes a belt system for a child restraint. During use, the harness system is disposed on the vehicles seat. When stowed, the harness system is contained in the storage area.

A motor vehicle seat is provided with a backrest and a seat portion having a fixed element and at least one body which can be moved between a lowered configuration, in which it forms with the backrest a place for an adult passenger, and a raised configuration, in which it forms a booster seat suitable for supporting a child; the body is releasably fixed in the raised configuration by means of a fastening device and carries a side support element, which is arranged next to the body and is movable between an operating configuration, in which it protrudes upwards with respect to an upper surface of the body, and a rest configuration, in which it is arranged lower or flush with respect to said upper surface.

A vehicle seat with fold down child seat includes a passenger seat and a convertible child seat section. In a first seat configuration, the convertible child seat section may be for use by an adult or adolescent. In a second seat configuration, the convertible child seat section may be for use by a child. The convertible child seat section may includes a child seat back that rotates to present a front side for adult seating or a rear side for child seating and a child seat cushion that rotates to present a top side for adult seating or a bottom side for child seating. The seat back and seat cushion may rotate on a seat back spindle and seat bottom cushion, respectively. The convertible child seat section may include a harness. A vehicle seat may comprise multiple convertible child seat sections.

A vehicle seat device includes: a base member provided in a seat cushion or a seat back; a movable member rotatably connected to the base member; and stopper parts disposed to abut against each other on the base and movable members. The movable member rotates from a storage position and the rotation of the movable member is restricted at a deployment position so that a seat mode is changed. The vehicle seat device further includes an air bag interposed between the base and movable members and presses the base and movable members to rotate the movable member; and a clutch mechanism interposed between the base and movable members, allowing the rotation of the movable member in a deployment direction, and restricting the rotation of the movable member in a storage direction.

A vehicle seat system includes a seat back. A seat cushion is positioned proximate to the seat back. The seat cushion includes: a first side configured when upwardly directed for supporting an adult passenger; and a second side oppositely facing from the first side. The second side is configured when upwardly directed for supporting a child passenger and includes: an elevated face positioned proximate to the seat back; and a lower elevation face forward of the elevated face at a lower elevation than the elevated face when the second side is upwardly directed. The seat cushion is releasable and rotatable to configure the seat cushion with either the first side or the second side upwardly directed.

An adequate mechanical stiffness and strength are afforded to a tumble seat or a vehicle seat having a latch mechanism provided in a rear end of the seat cushion. A cushion frame (F1) of the seat includes a side frame (5) extending in a fore and aft direction, and the side frame includes a first member (10) comprising a channel member having an open side facing sideways and a second member (11) attached to the first member so as to form a closed cross section jointly with the first member, and extending downward further than the first member. A latch mechanism is positioned under the first member and attached to the second member.

Transporting children of differing sizes can be costly, since several seat configurations are required. Installing different seat configurations can be time-consuming, too. The invention comprises a foldable automobile seat that can be used to accommodate infants, toddlers, and bigger children, with a relocatable strap that can restrain the children.
