When a seat () is to be stowed, a seat pad () is moved toward a seat () reverse side, pad side portions () are rotated toward the seat () reverse side with respect to a pad center portion (), and a center portion () and side portions () of the seat () are contracted. Here, interlockingly with contraction of the side portions (), a skin () is bent and folded in at portions covering distal ends of vertical walls () of a wall panel () and at second fixing portions (B). Due thereto, slack of the skin () at seat () lateral direction end surfaces can be taken in.
