jump seat

Auxiliary folding chair

A jump seat is a small, fold-down auxiliary seat in a vehicle or aircraft.

In planes, jump seats accommodate flight attendants or deadheading crew members.

In cars, particularly taxis and limousines, jump seats fold out from a partition to provide extra passenger capacity: The kids rode in the jump seats facing backward.
