a baggage holder configured to allow baggage to be hung, hooked or fixed thereon,

wherein the baggage holder is passed from outside to inside of the cover member through the through-hole and fixed to the seat frame,

wherein the baggage holder is fixed to the seat frame by a fastening member that has a shank portion piercing through the cover member,

wherein the baggage holder has a dent portion, and a part of the fastening member is received in the dent portion.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the baggage holder comprises a first rotation-restricting portion provided around the shank portion as viewed from an axial direction of the fastening member, and

wherein the seat frame comprises a first engagement portion engageable with the first rotation-restricting portion.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the baggage holder comprises a second rotation-restricting portion provided around the shank portion as viewed from the axial direction of the fastening member, and

wherein the cover member comprises a second engagement portion engageable with the second rotation-restricting portion.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein the baggage holder comprises a third rotation-restricting portion provided around the shank portion as viewed from the axial direction of the fastening member,

wherein the cover member comprises a third engagement portion engageable with the third rotation-restricting portion, and

wherein as viewed from the axial direction of the fastening member, the first rotation-restricting portion is located in an area that is defined by a first line perpendicular to a first direction connecting the second rotation-restricting portion and the third rotation-restricting portion and passing through the second rotation-restricting portion and a second line perpendicular to the first direction and passing through the third rotation-restricting portion.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member has a recessed portion at an outer surface thereof, and

wherein a part of the baggage holder is received in the recessed portion.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the seat frame has a protruding portion configured to protrude toward the cover member, and

wherein the baggage holder is fixed to the protruding portion.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the baggage holder is provided on a lower surface of a seat cushion,

wherein the seat cushion is configured to be movable between a seating position in which an occupant is allowed to sit on the seat cushion and a tipped-up position in which the seat cushion is tipped up from the seating position,

wherein the vehicle seat further comprises a leg member provided on the seat cushion and configured to contact a floor of a vehicle to support the seat cushion in the seating position, the leg member being supported rotatably relative to the seat cushion and foldable toward the seat cushion in the tipped-up position, and

wherein the baggage holder is disposed at a position other than a position of the leg member located when the seat cushion is in the tipped-up position.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 7 , wherein the baggage holder comprises a first portion extending away from the seat cushion, a second portion extending from a distal end portion of the first portion along the seat cushion, and a third portion extending from a distal end portion of the second portion toward the seat cushion.

9. A vehicle seat comprising:

a seat frame;

a cover member configured to cover the seat frame and having a through-hole; and

a baggage holder configured to allow baggage to be hung, hooked or fixed thereon,

wherein the seat frame has a fixing portion configured to protrude toward the cover member,

wherein the baggage holder is passed from outside to inside of the cover member through the through-hole and fixed to the fixing portion, and

where in the cover member has a contacting surface at which the cover member is in contact with the fixing portion.

10. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein the cover member has a recessed portion at an outer surface thereof, and

wherein a part of the baggage holder is received in the recessed portion.

11. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein the seat frame comprises a front frame, a rear frame, and a pan frame bridging between the front frame and the rear frame, and

wherein the fixing portion is provided on the pan frame.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein the seat frame has a first surface facing to the cover member, and a second surface opposite to the first surface,

wherein the fixing portion has a storage recess portion on the second surface, and

wherein the baggage holder is fixed to the fixing portion by bolt and nut, and the nut is located in the storage recess portion.

13. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein a part of the cover member is held between the fixing portion and the baggage holder.

14. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein two fixing portions are provided at right and left sides of the pan frame, and

wherein the right and left fixing portions are arranged along the rear frame.

15. The vehicle seat according to claim 14 , wherein the pan frame has a central portion between the right and left fixing portions, the central portion protruding away from the cover member.

16. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein two fixing portions are provided at right and left sides of the seat frame, and

wherein the seat frame has a central portion between the right and left fixing portions, the central portion protruding away from the cover member.

17. A vehicle seat comprising:
