A leg assembly for a vehicle passenger seat, comprising a front foot, a leg frame mounted on the front foot and having spaced support surfaces for engaging with transverse members of the seat, a rear foot, and a load-limiting rear leg extending from the rear foot to the leg frame so as to inhibit angular movement of the leg frame about the front foot,wherein the rear leg comprises a first link pivotally connected at a first end to the rear foot, a second link pivotally connected at a first end to the leg frame while a second end of the second link is pivotally connected to a second end of the first link and a load-limiting strut pivotally connected at a first end to the front foot and pivotally connected at a second end to both the second end of the first link and the second end of the second link so as to resist movement of the first and second links into alignment with each other.
