Car seat

Individual bucket seats typically have rounded backs and may offer a variety of adjustments to fit different passengers.

Early touring cars featured folding auxiliary seats to offer additional passenger capacity.

Some vehicle models offer fold-down rear seats, to gain cargo space when they are not occupied by passengers.

A fold-down front-passenger seat was a feature on the Chrysler PT Cruiser to fit longer items such as a 240-centimetre (8 ft) ladder inside the vehicle.

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act enacted by the U.S. in 1966 established standards of strength for automobile seats.

Some studies have shown that drivers have an aversion towards carrying the full capacity number of passengers due to concerns over insufficient vision through the back window.
