1. A vehicle seat comprising:
- a seat bottom having a forward section and a rear section;
a seat back pivotable relative to the seat bottom;
a pivotable link system that positions the forward section of the seat bottom in one or more raised position; and
a torsion spring that biases the seat bottom forward to an extended position or rearward to a lowered position wherein the seat back is adapted to fold forward, the seat back is in communication with the link system such that positioning the seat back in the folded position causes the seat bottom to move to an extended forward position thereby accommodating the folded seat back, and the seat back is coupled to the link system by a first pulley system that disengages the seat bottom so that the seat bottom may be positioned in the forward extended position.
