A rear seat frame (30) pivotally supports a pair of jaws (39). The jaws (39) engage a pin (40) for locking the assembly (10) in the upright seating position. A cam (46) engages the jaws (39) and spreads the same to remove the jaws (39) from engagement with the pin (40) to allow the assembly (10) to move to the forwardly folded position. The assembly (10) is pivotable about a front frame (50). In the forwardly folded position, the lower seating member (22) defines a load carrying surface. A guide rod (72) interconnects the front frame (50) and the housing (51) having jaws (39) therein. The guide rod (72) retracts the housing (51) and jaws (39) when in the forwardly folded position interiorly of the lower seating member (22) and positions the jaws over the pin (40) when moving the seat to the upright position.
