A vehicle seat is selectively deployable at the rear of a vehicle (4, Figure 1) to provide temporary outdoor seating, and comprises a seating surface 1 having a front edge towards the rear of the vehicle. A support 2 is located in or below a vehicle load floor. Most preferably, first and second support legs 10, 20 are pivotally connectable to the underside of the seating surface and the support, with first leg 10 having a rear-facing support shelf 13 and second leg 20 having a forward-facing engaging protrusion 23. Seat 1 is pivotable up and out from a stowed position, with the seating surface on or within the load floor and preferably flush with the load floor, to a deployed position extending beyond the rear of the vehicle; most preferably, protrusion 23 engages shelf 13 to provide load-bearing support for seat 1.
