A seating arrangement (9) comprises at least seat (11) and a second seat (12) arranged side by side. At least part of a seat member (12a) of the second seat (12) is displaceable in an up-down direction relative to the seat member (11a) of the first seat (11), and at least part of the seat back (12b) of the second seat (12) is displaceable in a forward-rearward direction relative the seat back (11b) of the first seat (11) so as to allow movement of at least one of the seats (11, 12) in a sideways direction toward the other. The seat member (12a) and the seat back (12b) of the second seat (12) may be foldable, in particular to form at lateral restraint and/or an arm rest, when the first and second seats (11, 12) are moved toward each other. Alternatively, the seat member (12a) and the seat back (12b) of the second seat (12) may be displaceable to below the seat member (11a) and behind the seat back (11b) of the first seat (11) respectively, when the first and second seats (11, 12) are moved toward each other.
A seating arrangement for use in a vehicle, the seating arrangement comprising at least a first seat and a second seat arranged side by side, each of the first and second seats having a seat member and a seat back, wherein at least part of the seat member of the second seat is displaceable in an up-down direction relative to the seat member of the first seat, and at least part of the seat back of the second seat is displaceable in a forward-rearward direction relative to the seat back of the first seat so as to allow movement of each of the seats in a sideways direction toward the other.
A seating arrangement comprising a first seat and a second seat arranged side by side, each of the first and second seats having a seat member and a seat back, wherein the seat member of the second seat has side edge seat member parts separated by an intermediate part, wherein said seat member is foldable so that the side edge seat member parts are movable toward each other while the intermediate seat member part is displaceable in an up-down direction relative to the seat member of the first seat, and wherein the seat back of the second seat has side edge seat back parts separated by an intermediate seat back part, and wherein the seat back of the second seat is foldable so that the side edge seat back parts thereof are movable toward each other while the intermediate seat back part thereof is displaceable in a forward-rearward direction relative to the seat back of the first seat.
