Once you get the seat out, you'll see the way the hooks latch onto the seat bottom support, so the following time, it should be easier to remove. However, Ive seen those frame supports get bent and the seat bottom almost folds in the middle because of it. Then its hard to get the seat out..granted..if the seat is junk, it wont matter as youre better off putting in a better seat afterwards. But pushing down and back while lifting up (yeah, its backasswards), should unhook the seat frame support.
