ABSTRACT:
A collapsible vehicle seat assembly includes a lower seat with a seat back pivotally connected to the lower seat. The seat back is pivotable between upright and collapsed positions. An inflatable air cell is positioned against the seat back and configured to cover the seat back when inflated to act as a one-piece seat back cushion. A plurality of flexible plastic fingers extend about the periphery of the air cell for preventing the air cell from extending peripherally beyond the seat back when deflated to prevent pinching of the air cell when the seat back is collapsed against the lower seat. The seat back is configured to collapse closely against the lower seat when the seat back air cell is deflated to partially compress the lower seat cushion such that the overall thickness of the collapsed seat assembly consists of a thickness less than the thickness of the lower seat alone.
