A vehicle seat assembly includes first and second rails configured for mounting transversely on a vehicle floor, parallel to each other. A seat includes rear and front supports with rollers configured for rolling engagement with the first and second rails, respectively, to facilitate lateral movement of the seat across the rails. The rear supports have a releasable rear clamping mechanism engageable with the first rail and releasable from the first rail to enable tumbling of the seat forward in the vehicle. The front supports include a releasable front clamping mechanism engageable with the second rail and releasable from the second rail to enable removal of the seat from the vehicle after tumbling. The seat is laterally movable across the rails when the front and rear clamping mechanisms are simultaneously at least partially released.
