An adjustable seat assembly particularly adapted for a mobile vehicle which permits the seat to be moved fore-and-aft, laterally side-to-side, vertically and rotationally. A latch is provided for selectively preventing and permitting rotation of the seat and other portions of the seat assembly relative to a fixed pedestal. A projection is mounted to the bottom of the seat at a predetermined aft position and predetermined lateral position. Guide means such as a rigid barrier is positioned to abut the latch release projection and slidably guide the seat toward the predetermined lateral position as the seat moves toward the predetermined aft position, thereby directing the release projection to the latch and permitting the seat to be released for rotation by pushing the seat aft from any lateral or longitudinal position.
