Vehicle seating system

A vehicle seating system, comprising:

• a first seating assembly having a first seat base operable to pivot between a use position and a pivoted position;
• a second seating assembly adjacent to the first seating assembly and having a second seat base operable to pivot between a use position and a pivoted position;
• a third seating assembly adjacent to the second seating assembly, such that the second seating assembly is positioned between the first and third seating assemblies, the third seating assembly having a third seat base operable to pivot between a use position and a pivoted position;
• a first connector coupled to at least one of the first seat base and the second seat base and operable between an engaged condition, wherein the first connector couples the first and second seat bases, such that movement of the first seat base from the use position to the pivoted position causes the second seat base to move from the use position to the pivoted position, and a disengaged condition, wherein the first seat base is operable to move independently of the second seat base between the use and pivoted positions;
• a second connector coupled to at least one of the second seat base and the third seat base and operable between an engaged condition, wherein the second connector couples the second and third seat bases, such that movement of the third seat base from the use position to the pivoted position causes the second seat base to move from the use position to the pivoted position, and a disengaged condition, wherein the third seat base is operable to move independently of the second seat base between the use and pivoted positions;
• at least one actuator coupled to the first and second connectors;
• and
• control circuitry coupled to the at least one actuator and configured to prompt actuation of the at least one actuator in response to receiving at least one input from at least one input feature to move at least one of the first connector and the second connector to the engaged condition.
