Engageable members are provided to extend along the left and right end portions of the outer covering. The movable frame has grooves extending from an upper surface, through a front surface and to an undersurface thereof. The engageable members are engageable in the grooves. Each groove includes a first groove section, and a second groove section extending from the first groove section in a direction different from a direction in which the first groove section extends. Each engageable member includes a body portion extending from the outer covering and a claw portion extending from the body portion.

a stationary frame;
a movable frame provided at a front end portion of the stationary frame and configured to be slidable frontward and rearward between a first position and a second position that is frontward of the first position, the movable frame including left and right end portions;
an outer covering provided to extend frontward from an upper side of the stationary frame and configured to wrap around a front end portion of the movable frame, the outer covering including left and right end portions; and
left and right engageable members provided on the outer covering, the left and right engageable members extending, respectively, along the left and right end portions of the outer covering,
wherein the movable frame has an upper surface, a front surface, an undersurface, and left and right grooves, the left and right grooves being provided, respectively, in the left and right end portions of the movable frame, each groove extending from the upper surface of the movable frame, through the front surface of the movable frame and further extending to the undersurface of the movable frame, the left and right engageable members being engageable in the left and right grooves, respectively,
wherein each groove includes a first groove section extending deep in a direction away from the outer covering, and a second groove section extending from the first groove section in a direction different from a direction in which the first groove section extends, and
wherein each of the left and right engageable members includes a body portion extending from the outer covering and a claw portion extending from the body portion, the body portion being disposed in the first groove section, the claw portion being disposed in the second groove section.
2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the second groove section has a first wall and a second wall, a position of the first wall being closer to the outer covering than a position of the second wall, the first wall having a first end portion and a second end portion, a position of the first end portion being closer to the first groove section than a position of the second end portion, the second groove section including a protrusion protruding from the first end portion of the first wall of the second groove section toward the claw portion.
3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the second groove section extends laterally inward from the first groove section, and the claw portion extends laterally inward from the body portion.
