• a first load transfer block that protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction from an upper side of the outer side frame portion in the vehicle width direction and transfers an impact load input from a side portion of the vehicle body to the seatback frame, the first load transfer block being provided above the tilting shaft,
• wherein the vehicle seat further comprises a plate-shaped rigid member of which an upper end is connected to the lower frame portion and an inner end in the vehicle width direction is connected to the inner side frame portion in the vehicle width direction, and
