When the backrest portion is tilted forward, the hook is engaged with the engaged portion, the backrest portion and the sitting portion are fixed to each other, and then it is in a double folded state. The hook is arranged at a position where a tether strap for mounting an auxiliary seat on the backrest portion is hung. The hook is integrally formed with a guide of the tether strap.
