jumpseat

Extra taxi seat

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

In planes, jumpseats are used by crew members not actively working or by airline employees traveling off-duty.

In cars and trucks, they're temporary seats that fold out of the way when not in use: The kids sat in the jumpseats in the back of the station wagon.
