ABSTRACT:
A rear seat apparatus for a vehicle is disposed on a rear elevated portion of a stepped floor of the vehicle. At least a rear seat cushion of the rear seat apparatus is allowed to swing toward the front of the vehicle from a horizontal seating state, in which a passenger may sit on the rear seat cushion. The rear seat apparatus has a connection mechanism for connecting the rear seat cushion to the rear elevated portion of the floor. The connection mechanism allows the rear seat cushion to be moved by approximately 90 degrees toward the front of the vehicle and then slid downward so as to be brought into an upright state, in which a front portion of the rear seat cushion is held on a front lower-level portion of the floor. The connection mechanism also allows the rear seat cushion to be moved by approximately 180 degrees from the seating state toward the front of the vehicle so as to be brought into an overturned state.
