Abstract
A selectively deployable cargo management system for a vehicle includes at least one cargo attachment device positioned on an underside of a foldable vehicle seat. The cargo attachment device may include a plurality of cargo hooks or projections attached to a seat cover on the underside of a vehicle seat so that the hooks may be manually or automatically deployed when the vehicle seat is placed in its folded position. Manually deployable hooks may be concealed beneath a foldable panel having one side removably secured to the seat underside so that the hooks may remain concealed when the foldable seat is in either position. The system may also include a storage compartment disposed beneath a foldable vehicle seat with one or more cargo hanging projections attached thereto. A device to secure the cargo management devices to a second vehicle seating component may also be provided.
