Abstract

A flexible use and storage system within a vehicle interior (302) which provides an activity center (290), a storage area (390), a vehicle seat pass through (394), or a combination of any two or all of the above. The activity center includes a platform (312, 370) which is movable from a stowed position to a horizontal use position overlying or adjacent to a seat cushion (352) and seat back (354) at a seating position for use as a work surface or a play surface. The storage area can be provided in a vehicle seat assembly (350) or vehicle console assembly (300) and provides covered or uncovered storage for personal items within the vehicle. The vehicle seat pass through provides an open area through a vehicle seat back (354) and can be covered with a movable panel (392). The movable panel (392) can be separate from or combined with the storage area cover of the vehicle.
