 (i) a first operative position stowed in said first arm rest, and 
 (ii) a second operative position deployed from said first arm rest to extend in part inwardly and outwardly from said first arm rest toward said second arm rest; and, 
   (i) a second stirrup assembly mounted in said second hollow arm rest and moveable between at least two operative positions,
