Abstract
In a vehicle seat, a bracket contact member is fixed to a seat back frame and contacts support brackets in an initial use position, to suppress rearward tilting of a head rest with respect to the seat back frame. While suppressing rearward tilting, forward tilting of the head rest with respect to the seat back frame from the initial use position, by inertia force in the event of a rear-end collision of a vehicle, is not suppressed by the contact member.
