Abstract
A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a back rest part having a primary back rest surface being configured to support a back of an adult sitting and a sitting module. The sitting module includes a first part and a second part, wherein the first part carries a primary functional surface and a secondary back rest surface being configured to support a back of a child. The sitting module includes a pivoting mechanism and a sliding mechanism. The pivoting mechanism is kinematically interposed between the first part and the second part and the sliding mechanism is kinematically interposed between the first part and the back rest part such that the seat assembly may selectively assume a primary state in which the primary functional surface is operational or a secondary state in which the seat assembly is configured to receive a child.
