A seat assembly (16a) for a vehicle that has a rear seat (18) positioned behind the seat assembly (16a). The seat assembly (16a) includes a seat bottom (24) that is movable between a seating position and a forward position. In the seating position, the seat bottom (24) is in a generally horizontal position for supporting an occupant seated on the seat assembly (16a). In the forward position the seat bottom (24) is in a generally vertical position such that a rear edge (45) of the seat bottom (24) is positioned above a front edge (47) of said seat bottom (24). The seat assembly (16a) also has a seat back (26) that is movable between a seating position and a second position. In the seating position the seat back (26) is in a generally lateral position relative to the vehicle (10) for supporting an occupant seated on said seat assembly (16a). In the second position the seat back (26) extends longitudinally relative to the vehicle (10) to permit access to a rear seat positioned behind said seat assembly. The back of the seat may be folded forwards from the sitting position to lie flat (figure 4).
