A vehicle seat configured to be fixed in a vehicle is defined. The vehicle seat comprises a seat back configured such that when the seat is fixed in the vehicle there is a gap between a lower edge of the seat back and a floor of the vehicle to enable wheels of a wheelchair to protrude through the gap. The vehicle seat further comprises a seat base wherein the seat base is either: foldable between a first position in which the seat base acts as a base to the seat and a second position in which the seat base is stowed against the seat back; or removable from the seat back. The seat base is foldable or removable to allow the seat base to be stowed when the seat is used by the wheelchair.
