ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat assembly which is movable between at least one use position in the vehicle end at least one storage location, and in which a seat component, such as a seat cushion, is movable between non-operative and operative positions. The seat assembly has a single latch for both holding the seat in a given location within the vehicle as well as holding the movable seat component in its non-operative position. The latch includes a single operating handle which is movable in opposite directions to either release the seat for movement within the vehicle or to release the movable seat component from its non-operative position. The latch further includes lockout means to prevent the seat from being moved within the vehicle unless the movable seat component is in its non-operative position, and to prevent the movable seat component from being released from its non-operative position unless the seat is in a designated use location in the vehicle.
