VEHICLE SEAT AND VEHICLE

摘要

In a vehicle seat, a seat cushion is coupled to a floor section of a vehicle so as to swivel about a vertical axis. When the vehicle seat swivels about the vertical axis from a forward-facing position to a rearward-facing position, a seatback of the vehicle seat is swiveled about a horizontal axis extending in a seat width direction by a first swivel mechanism from a first upright position (while in the forward-facing position) toward the seat front side so as to be disposed in a second upright position that is inclined forward relative to the first upright position (while at a position between the forward-facing position and the rearward-facing position), and then is swiveled from the second upright position toward a seat rear side (while in the rearward facing position).
