Abstract
A vehicle seat, which prevents a passenger from sitting thereon in an uncomfortable seat state is provided. An interference bar is received in receiving hole formed in the headrest. The interference bar extends from the receiving hole when the headrest is rotated forward in the seat back. When the headrest is fully rotated to face the front side of the seat back, the interference bar extends in the forward direction of the vehicle seat. Thus, the interference bar protruded from the receiving hole interferes with the back of the passenger and thereby prevents the passenger from sitting on the seat in the uncomfortable seat state.
