A seat assembly for an automotive vehicle comprising: a seat cushion extending between a forward end and a rearward end defining a longitudinal axis therebetween and extending laterally between an inboard side and an outboard side generally parallel to the longitudinal axis; a seat back operatively coupled to the seat cushion for pivotal movement between an upright seating position and a forwardly folded dump position overlying the seat cushion; a seat track assembly operatively coupled to the seat cushion for providing selective fore and aft sliding adjustment of the seat assembly along a linear first path between a full forward position and a full rearward position; and a tip slide mechanism operatively coupled to the seat track assembly and adapted for mounting the seat assembly to a floor of the vehicle, characterised by the tip slide mechanism providing fore and aft movement of the seat assembly along a second path transverse to the first path between a seating position and an easy entry position to provide access behind the seat assembly, the second path positioned at an angle relative to the first path along a horizontal plane defined by the seat cushion and extending between the inboard side and the outboard side of the seat cushion; and wherein the tip slide mechanism includes a pair of spaced apart lower mounting base plates (52, 54) for supporting the seat assembly and adapted for mounting the seat assembly to the vehicle floor, an upper mounting bracket secured to the seat track assembly and at least one rear leg (60, 62) extending between a first end pivotally coupled to one of the lower mounting base plates (52, 54) and a second end pivotally coupled to the upper mounting bracket for providing the fore and aft movement of the seat assembly along the second path between the seating position and the easy entry position. a seat cushion extending between a forward end and a rearward end defining a longitudinal axis therebetween and extending laterally between an inboard side and an outboard side generally parallel to the longitudinal axis; a seat back operatively coupled to the seat cushion for pivotal movement between an upright seating position and a forwardly folded dump position overlying the seat cushion; a seat track assembly operatively coupled to the seat cushion for providing selective fore and aft sliding adjustment of the seat assembly along a linear first path between a full forward position and a full rearward position; and a tip slide mechanism operatively coupled to the seat track assembly and adapted for mounting the seat assembly to a floor of the vehicle, characterised by the tip slide mechanism providing fore and aft movement of the seat assembly along a second path transverse to the first path between a seating position and an easy entry position to provide access behind the seat assembly, the second path positioned at an angle relative to the first path along a horizontal plane defined by the seat cushion and extending between the inboard side and the outboard side of the seat cushion; and wherein the tip slide mechanism includes a pair of spaced apart lower mounting base plates (52, 54) for supporting the seat assembly and adapted for mounting the seat assembly to the vehicle floor, an upper mounting bracket secured to the seat track assembly and at least one rear leg (60, 62) extending between a first end pivotally coupled to one of the lower mounting base plates (52, 54) and a second end pivotally coupled to the upper mounting bracket for providing the fore and aft movement of the seat assembly along the second path between the seating position and the easy entry position.
