A molded seat that is formed from plastic and has improved strength and attachment mechanisms. The seat includes a seat back and a seat pan, both of which are constructed from a plastic material. The universal seat also includes an articulated recliner that is connected to both the seat back and the seat pan. The articulated recliner includes high-strength sheath portions into which plastic bayonets from the seat pan and the seat back are inserted. The use of the articulated recliner results in a seat having improved strength. In addition, the combination of the sheaths of the articulated recliner in conjunction with the bayonets of the seat back and seat pan help eliminate the need for additional attachment mechanisms, thereby making the universal seat easier to manufacture and install.
