A seat convenience apparatus for a rear seat passenger and an operation control method thereof is provided in a front seat. When an open angle of a footrest of the front seat does not satisfy a predetermined reference angle under the condition that a rear seat passenger desires to use the seat convenience device, operation of the seat convenience device is disabled in spite of the user's desire. Accordingly, misuse of the seat convenience device is prevented under non-use conditions.
