Each seat in the row of seats may; be slidably relocatable between a first and a second location; be movable forwards or rearwards relative to the vehicle along a longitudinal axis; seat a passenger in the unfolded state; comprise of a backrest and base; have a seat base tilted upwards or a seat back tilted forwards in the folded state.
