A seat belt assembly of the vehicle seat includes an extending seat belt shoulder strap portion, a lap belt section, and a buckle releasably connected to a first buckle connector defining a first anchor connected by a first pin to a seat structural member. The first pin and the first buckle connector together displace during a vehicle collision event from an initial to a final first buckle connector position forward of the initial position to mitigate against an occupant submarining motion. The shoulder strap portion is fixed to a second buckle connector defining a second anchor connected by a second pin to the seat structural member. The second pin and the second buckle connector displace during the vehicle collision event from an initial to a final second buckle connector position forward of the initial second buckle connector position.
