1. A vehicle seat comprising
a seatback,
a seat bottom mounted pivoting relative to the seatback around a first transverse axis,
at least one track, where the at least one track comprises a fixed element and a mobile element moveable relative to the fixed element along a longitudinal direction,
wherein the seat bottom pivots relative to the mobile element of the at least one track, around a second transverse axis, near one end, the seatback is mounted sliding along the longitudinal direction relative to the fixed element of the at least one track,
near the one end, the seatback is further mounted pivoting relative to the fixed element of the at least one track around a third transverse axis, where the third transverse axis is mobile along the longitudinal direction,
a stop limits the longitudinal movement of the one end of the seatback; and
the seat bottom is shaped for pulling on the seatback and causing the rotation of the seatback around the third transverse axis, in case of movement of the mobile element of the at least one track relative to the fixed element, tending to increase the distance between the second transverse axis and the third transverse axis, while the stop blocks the movement of the end of the seatback.
