The backrest portion includes a pair of side plates each having front recesses engageable with the front mounts, and rear recesses engageable with rear mounts. The latching mechanisms each include a latch member mounted on the side plates movable for pivotal movement between an unlatched position, in which the front recesses are engageable and disengageable with the mounts, and a latched position, in which the front recess is held in engagement with the mounts. The latching mechanisms further include a locking member movable relative to the latch member between an unlocked position, in which the latch member is movable between its latched and unlatched positions, and a locked position, in which the latch member is held in the latched position.
