Abstract
A vehicle seat assembly includes a one-piece base adapted for mounting in a vehicle floor recess. First and second riser legs are pivotally attached to the base and include attachment features. Each riser leg is pivotable between upright and collapsed positions. A seat frame is removably connected to the attachment features. The riser legs are pivotally collapsible against the base to increase vehicle storage capacity when the seat frame is removed from the riser legs. The direct attachment of the riser legs to the one-piece base provides accurate location of the attachment features for attachment of the seat frame.
