Abstract
A vehicle includes a first seat. A seat base is selectively coupled to the first seat via an engaging member extending from a proximal end of the seat base. The seat base has an attached configuration and a detached configuration. The seat base couples with the first seat and forms a second seat facing away from the first seat in the attached configuration. The seat base is decoupled from the first seat in the detached configuration. A backrest is common to the first and second seats in the attached configuration. A frame structure operably couples the first seat with the vehicle. The frame structure includes a receiving member interfacing with the seat base. The engaging member engages the receiving member to couple the seat base with the backrest.
