A seat structure for a vehicle includes front and rear seat bodies each including a seat cushion and a back rest. Each seat cushion has a front part configured to be tipped up about a rear part of the seat cushion. Each back rest has an upper part configured to be tilted backward and forward about a lower part of the back rest. The seat structure also includes first slide rails supporting the front and rear seat bodies in a fore and aft arrangement respectively. The front and rear seat bodies are configured to move backward and forward along the first slide rails. The seat structure further includes a lock member coupled to the front seat body for selectively securing the front seat body relative to the first slide rails. The lock member is movable between a locked position and a released position. The seat structure further includes a push member coupled to the rear seat body. The push member engages the front seat body to move the lock member into the released position so that the front seat body can be moved forward by the rear seat body.

The seat structure of claim 6 wherein a forefront side portion of the push plate of the rear seat body is located in a position jutting out forward of the seat cushion of the rear seat body in a state of being tipped up. 8. A seat structure for a vehicle, comprising: front and rear seat bodies each including a seat cushion, a back rest and a tip-up mechanism for tipping up the respective seat cushion, each seat cushion having a front part configured to be tipped up about a rear part of the seat cushion, and each back rest having an upper part configured to be tilted backward and forward about a lower part of the back rest, the tip-up mechanism comprising: a first spring biasing the seat cushion toward a tipped up position; a tip-up bracket pivotally coupled to a base unit of the seat cushion and configured to restrict the seat cushion from moving toward the tipped up position; a lock plate for holding the seat cushion in the tipped up position; and a stopper rod slidable within an aperture in the base unit and pivotally coupled to a bracket pivotally coupled at the rear part of the seat cushion; first slide rails supporting the front and rear seat bodies in a fore and aft arrangement respectively, the front and rear seat bodies being configured to move backward and forward along the first slide rails; a lock member coupled to the front seat body for selectively securing the front seat body relative to the first slide rails, the lock member being movable between a locked position and a released position; and a push member coupled to the rear seat body, wherein the push member engages the front seat body to move the lock member into the released position so that the front seat body can be moved forward by the rear seat body, wherein the tip-up bracket includes a first protrusion configured to at least partially block the aperture in the base unit to restrict the seat cushion from moving toward the tipped up position. 9. The seat structure of claim 8 wherein the rear seat body further includes a base unit, the push member being coupled to a front portion of the base unit. 10. The seat structure of claim 9 wherein the push member is a plate. 11. The seat structure of claim 8 wherein the lock member is a lock releasing plate that is biased toward the locked position by a spring. 12. A seat structure for a vehicle, comprising: front and rear seat bodies each including a seat cushion, a back rest and a tip-up mechanism for tipping up the respective seat cushion, each seat cushion having a front part configured to be tipped up about a rear part of the seat cushion, and each back rest having an upper part configured to be tilted backward and forward about a lower part of the back rest, the tip-up mechanism comprising: a first spring biasing the seat cushion toward a tipped up position; a tip-up bracket pivotally coupled to a base unit of the seat cushion and configured to restrict the seat cushion from moving toward the tipped up position; a lock plate for holding the seat cushion in the tipped up position; and a stopper rod slidable within an aperture in the base unit and pivotally coupled to a bracket pivotally coupled at the rear part of the seat cushion; first slide rails supporting the front and rear seat bodies in a fore and aft arrangement respectively, the front and rear seat bodies being configured to move backward and forward along the first slide rails; a lock member coupled to the front seat body for selectively securing the front seat body relative to the first slide rails, the lock member being movable between a locked position and a released position; and a push member coupled to the rear seat body, wherein the push member engages the front seat body to move the lock member into the released position so that the front seat body can be moved forward by the rear seat body, wherein the aperture is in the shape of an arc having a center that is the same as a bracket that is pivotally coupled at the rear part of the seat cushion. 13.
