A latch assembly for use with a vehicle seat pivotally mounted to a vehicle floor and which engages a striker associated with the vehicle floor. A planar shaped support bracket secures to an underside location of the seat. A first latching member pivotally mounts to the planar support bracket and exhibits an edge defined recess. A second latching member pivotally mounts to the planar support bracket, in overlapping relationship relative to the first latching member, and exhibits a second edge defined recess opposing the first recess. The first and second latching members define a first engaged position by which the striker bar is seated therebetween. A linkage member is secured to each of the latching members and is actuated causing the first latching member to pivot in a first unseating direction relative to the striker, the second latching member is caused to pivot in an opposite unseating direction and to disengage the striker from the vehicle seat in a second disengaged position.
