A seating system for a motor vehicle provides for a seat and a child safety seat defined by a body, which forms part of a seat cushion of the seat. The system has a releasable fastening apparatus of the ISOFIX type comprising two lower anchoring elements and two upper anchoring elements which can be selectively engaged by connecting elements carried by the body for securing the latter to the seat in a lowered position and a raised position, respectively.

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.

A vehicle seat including a seat cushion including a cushion body that supports buttocks of an occupant, and cushion side portions disposed on both seat width direction sides of the cushion body, a seatback including a back body that supports a back of the occupant, and back side portions disposed on both seat width direction sides of the back body, and an adjustment mechanism including at least one of a cushion adjustment mechanism that on actuation moves the cushion body in a seat up-down direction with respect to the cushion side portions and pivots the cushion body about an axis running along the seat width direction, or a back adjustment mechanism that on actuation moves the back body in a seat front-rear direction with respect to the back side portions and pivots the back body about an axis running along the seat width direction.

A convertible seat for a vehicle includes a base frame having a predetermined dimension of storage space, a plurality of individual blocks disposed to be ascendable and descendable in the storage space of the base frame and configured to serve as a seatback and a seat cushion, and a raising and lowering drive device installed in each of the individual blocks and configured to raise or lower a corresponding one of the individual blocks so that a seat position can be changed into various forms.

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a back rest part having a primary back rest surface being configured to support a back of an adult sitting and a sitting module. The sitting module includes a first part and a second part, wherein the first part carries a primary functional surface and a secondary back rest surface being configured to support a back of a child. The sitting module includes a pivoting mechanism and a sliding mechanism. The pivoting mechanism is kinematically interposed between the first part and the second part and the sliding mechanism is kinematically interposed between the first part and the back rest part such that the seat assembly may selectively assume a primary state in which the primary functional surface is operational or a secondary state in which the seat assembly is configured to receive a child.

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 convertible passenger seat for a vehicle including a back seat portion and a bottom seat portion, the bottom seat portion incorporating a baby seat assembly, the baby seat assembly having at least one baby seat support surface and the baby seat assembly being movable from a non-baby seat usable operative orientation, in which a first surface of the bottom seat portion defines a non baby seat surface, to a baby seat usable operative orientation in which at least one second surface of the bottom seat portion, different from the first surface, defines the at least one baby seat support surface.

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.

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.
