1. A vehicle seat comprising:

  • a seatback having a pivot rotationally coupled to a base that is slidable along a track between a plurality of comfort positions;

    a track-overslide actuator in communication with the pivot and the track, wherein operation of the pivot to a rear-entry position activates the track-overslide actuator to provide slidable forward operation of the base along the track beyond the plurality of comfort positions wherein the track-overslide actuator includes an overslide cam that directly engages an overslide surface of the pivot; and

    an interlock actuator in communication with the pivot and the track, wherein when the track-overslide actuator is activated, forward operation of the base along the track activates the interlock actuator into a blocking position to lock the pivot in the rear-entry position, wherein rearward sliding movement of the base back to the plurality of comfort positions disengages the interlock actuator from the blocking position and movement of the pivot to an upright position disengages the track-overslide actuator, wherein the interlock actuator includes an interlock cam that directly engages an interlock surface of the pivot, wherein a first spring extends between the overslide and interlock cams to bias the interlock cam toward the blocking position, and wherein a second spring biases the interlock cam away from the blocking position.
