Abstract
A seat reclining apparatus for a vehicle: a locking mechanism that is interposed between a seat cushion and a seatback and selectively switches inclining of the seatback between a permitted state and a regulated state with respect to the seat cushion; a first operation member that performs a first unlocking operation which allows the seatback to incline with respect to the seat cushion within a angle range with respect to the locking mechanism; a second operation member that performs a second unlocking operation which allows the seatback to incline with respect to the seat cushion to a forward tilt position exceeding the angle range with respect to the locking mechanism; and a stopper mechanism that regulates a rearward tilt of the seatback at a regulation angle position included within the angle range in a state of the second unlocking operation.
