In one embodiment now described, and according to one aspect of the invention. There is provided a leg rest mechanism 100. The leg rest mechanism is suitable for use with a seat pad 200 of a seat arrangement 300 in a passenger vehicle (not shown). The leg rest mechanism 100 comprises a support member 110 adapted for at least partially supporting a passenger's weight; and an extension arrangement 400. The extension arrangement 400 comprises a pair of horizontal support mechanisms 120 for supporting the support member 110, an adjustable support mechanism 160 and a drive arrangement 20. The support member 110 is moveable between a stowed position in which it is stowable under the seat pad 200 of the passenger vehicle seat arrangement 300, an intermediate position up to which the support member 110 can be adjustably supported; and wherein the support member is moveable directly from its intermediate position to an extended position in which the support member 110 cooperates with the seat pad to defines a substantially horizontal surface on which a passenger is supportable.
