Seat locking mechanism 1 for a vehicle comprises a plurality of locking elements 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 engaging and locking with a mounting 2 (e.g. rail mounting) on the vehicle floor. The locking elements 9-13 are each arranged to rotate between locked and unlocked positions and are engaged with one another (e.g. via partial gears) so that rotation of one locking element causes simultaneous rotation of all locking elements. Each locking element comprises a locking portion 21 arranged to engage the mounting in the locked position thereby securing the seat to the vehicle. The locking elements may be linearly arranged. The locking elements may be engaged with one another via teeth and rotate and lift simultaneously together when moving into locked position. A resilient strip (27, figure 5) may bias the locking elements into locked position.
