A vehicle seat and reclining mechanism are disclosed that provide for adjusting the angle of inclination of a seat back relative to a seat base and also permits easy entry to the area behind the seat by allowing the seat back to be released to move between an adjusted angle of inclination and a position in which the seat back is folded over the seat base. The reclining mechanism may include three or four release mechanisms that are all coaxially attached to the vehicle seat to permit the seat back to pivot about a single axis.
