A vehicle seat of the present invention includes a seatback frame, a backrest section that supports a back of an occupant, a swivel-coupling section that couples the backrest section and that is capable of swiveling with respect to the seatback frame in a seat width direction, and an outer periphery support section that couples plural locations at an outer peripheral side of the backrest section to the seatback frame, that supports the backrest section with respect to the seatback frame, and that permits the backrest section to swivel.

To improve steering operability in a driver's seat, and to improve posture maintaining capability at the time of turning in the driver's seat and a seat other than the driver's seat. In a vehicle seat including a seat, a seat backrest, and a headrest, the seat backrest has a seat backrest frame formed in a frame shape and a net disposed to stretch in the seat backrest frame. The net has a first string portion arranged radially.

A vehicle body front section structure capable of suppressing deformation of a vehicle body in a small overlap collision is obtained. A vehicle body front section structure includes a front side member with a crash box attached to a vehicle front end, a coupling member that is interposed between and joined to the crash box and the front side member at a vehicle front end side, and that is joined to a fender apron section at a vehicle rear end, and a spacer that is disposed at a portion overlapping with the front side member in a vehicle vertical direction between the front side member and the coupling member.
