Claim:
1. A vehicle seat comprising a stopping structure that stops forward tilting rotation of a seatback between the seatback and a base on a floor, the stopping structure including: a stopping portion provided on one of the seatback and the base; a stopper, having a leg portion, that is provided on the other of the seatback and the base and that extends to a position overlapping with the stopping portion in a seat width direction, the stopping structure being configured to stop the forward tilting rotation of the seatback by abutment of the stopping portion and the stopper; and a deformation inhibiting member that is fixed to the other of the seatback and the base to prevent rotation of the deformation inhibiting member relative to the other of the seatback and the base, the deformation inhibiting member being configured to minimize deformation in the seat width direction initiated from the abutment of the stopper against the stopping portion following forward tilting rotation of the seatback, the deformation inhibiting member including: the leg portion of the stopper is rotatable in a direction away from the stopping surface and the deformation inhibiting surface so as to disengage the surface-abutment of the leg portion of the stopper with the stopping surface and the deformation inhibiting surface.
