Folding seat

A folding seat is a seat that folds away so as to occupy less space. When installed on a transit bus, it makes room for a wheelchair or two. When installed on a passenger car, it provides extra seating.

In churches, it may have a projection called a misericord, which offers some support to a person standing in front when the seat is folded.

Folding seats may also be found in stadiums, arenas, theaters, lecture halls and auditoriums to facilitate entry and exit.^[1]

Some folding seats in rapid transit may fold-down rather than fold up.

In passenger aircraft, folding seats called jump seat, are used for cabin crew during start and landing.
