A latch assembly for a pivoted vehicle seat (14) which provides sufficient locking capability to permit a seat belt (15) to be mounted on the frame (10) of the seat as opposed to the base (16) of the vehicle. The latch assembly includes two slidable horizontally spaced apart latch blocks (20,20') mounted on the frame (10) of the seat (14) for engaging base mounted catches (22,22'). Two actuator arms (48,48') coupled to the frame, are operatively connected to each latch block (20,20') and are secured to and positioned by an operator actuated release member (36). Movement of the actuator arms (48,48') causes the latch blocks (20,20') to disengage the base (16) mounted catches (22,22') substantially simultaneously.
