A seating system for a vehicle includes a seat back and a seat bottom selectively rotatable between a design position and a stowed position. A latch arrangement has a first cam with first and second surfaces, a support structure with first and second surfaces, and a second cam. The latch arrangement has a first locking position wherein the first surface of the first cam engages the first surface of the support structure so that movement of the seat bottom from the design position to the stowed position is inhibited. The latch arrangement also has a second locking position wherein the second cam engages a portion of the support structure so that movement of the seat bottom from the stowed position to the design position is inhibited.

Vehicle seating system

A vehicle seat assembly has a seat base, a seat back rotatably connected to the seat base and movable between an upright position and a folded position. An arm has a first end region connected to the seat base and a second end region defining a cam surface. A follower such as a pin is connected to the seat back and fixed relative thereto. The follower engages the cam surface when the seat back is in the folded position.

Vehicle seat fold mechanism

A vehicle slouch seat includes a cushion frame attached to a seat back frame such that the cushion frame is pivotable from an upright position to a slouch position. The slouch seat is also foldable and stowable against a vehicle cabin wall. Motion between the upright and the slouch positions is mediated by a guide hook attached to the back side of seat back frame.
