A hand-removable U-shaped clip is provided to secure the seat in a predetermined position relative to the frame by inserting a leg of the clip through the aperture in the tubular portion and an aligned aperture in the rod. In another embodiment, the tubular portion is provided with a hand operated, quick release latching mechanism to secure the rod of the seat in a desired position relative to the tubular portion of the frame.
