A vehicle seating system includes a seat bottom chassis, and a seat back chassis coupled to the seat bottom chassis. The vehicle seating system also includes an easy entry mechanism configured to facilitate a rotation of the seat bottom chassis and the seat back chassis about a lateral axis of the vehicle seating system. The easy entry mechanism is also configured to maintain a substantially constant angle between the seat bottom chassis and the seat back chassis during the rotation.
