A headrest for vehicle seats, has a head cushion and two side cheeks which are assigned to the head cushion and which, in the in-use position, project laterally on the head cushion beyond the cushion front. In their not-in-use position, the side cheeks can be swivelled into the contour of the head cushion. In order not to impair the cushion contour of the head cushion designed under aspects of safety and comport by the use of the side cheeks, the two identically constructed side cheeks are mirror-symmetrically swivellably arranged with respect to the vertical center line of the head cushion such that, in the not-in-use position, they cover the back side of the head cushion.

An adjustable seat back has side sections that fold inward to provide lateral support for an infant or remain fiat to provide a wider seat back for a toddler. A wing adjustment assembly sewn into a section of the seat liner includes a pivoting actuator. By actuation of the lever section of the actuator that extends through an aperture in the liner at the rear of the stroller, the operator can pivot a pair of wing support sections outward on the front side of the liner. The seat back portion of the seat pad consists of a center portion and two side wing sections that are pivotal with respect to the center section about substantially vertical axes along two seams. The wing support sections of the actuator act to push the two wing sections of the seat pad forward providing a narrower seat to provide lateral support for an infant.

A seat for automotive vehicles, airplanes or the like has a seat part and a backrest part. Seat part supports are arranged on both sides of a longitudinal center plane of the seat on longitudinal sides of the seat part. Backrest part supports are arranged on the longitudinal sides of the backrest part. The seat part supports and the backrest part supports provide the passenger using the seat with a lateral support. For optimizing the seat with respect to comfort and support for the passenger using it, the seat part supports as well as the backrest part supports are constructed in an adjustable manner.

A vehicle seat assembly is provided which, in a preferred embodiment, includes a vehicle seatback frame with at least two spaced-apart rails defining a seating surface therebetween, a flexible seat suspension bridging over and connecting to the spaced-apart rails for supporting the seating surface and including a generally elongated member generally parallel to at least one of the rails, a wire wing reinforcement pivotally mounted at upper and lower ends to the elongated member and extending from the elongated member and having upper stop means and lower means by making contact with the elongated member to limit a maximum angle of the wing reinforcement with respect to the seating surface, and an elastic wing covering the wing reinforcement compliantly returning the wing reinforcement to an angle approximating the maximum angle of the wing reinforcement with respect to the seating surface whenever the wing has been angularly displaced toward the seating surface.

A seat frame assembly is provided for compactly folding a motor vehicle seat. The seat frame assembly includes a pair of spaced apart and parallel side frame members defining a vertical plane, and a lower cross member extending between the pair of side frame members. An actuator is pivotally secured to one of the pair of side frame members. A linkage assembly includes first and second link members, which are pivotally secured to one another. The first link member extends between the actuator and the second link member. A control arm is fixedly secured to the second link member and pivotally secured to the lower cross member. When the actuator is pivoted, the control arm moves between a support position extending away from the side frame members and a stowed position co-planar with the side frame members.
