A leg () is pivotably supported by a cushion frame () such that part of the leg () is accommodated in a space (S) surrounded by the cushion frame (). When the leg () is folded, part of the leg () is accommodated in the space (S) surrounded by the cushion frame (). Thus, when the seat cushion () is flipped up to a storage position along a side wall () of the passenger compartment, part of the leg () is accommodated in the space (S) surrounded by the cushion frame (). This prevents the leg () from projecting from the cushion frame () by the amount corresponding to the thickness of the accommodated portion.
