Abstract
A vehicle seat has a tether anchor disposed on a rear surface of a seatback to which a hook on an upper end of a child's seat is engaged for fixing of an upper portion of the child's seat. The vehicle seat has a seatback frame to which the tether anchor is fixed. The tether anchor is covered with a cover formed with a notch along a track of the hook in a locking operation so that a substantial part of the tether anchor is covered with the cover except a portion of the tether anchor on which the hook is locked. This will improve external appearance of the vehicle seat and avoid deterioration of loading ability of the vehicle seat and comfortability of an occupant in the vehicle.
