A vehicle seat system and method in which a seat belt restraint assembly is secured directly to the seat is provided includes a seat frame with a seat base that supports the seat frame, a first stop for coupling the seat base and seat frame and to limit forward pivoting movement of the seat frame upon sudden deceleration. The first stop includes two distinct rod ends each fixedly attached to opposite portions of a seat frame. The system may also include a second stop to limit rearward pivoting movement of the seat frame. The coupling of the seat base and seat frame provides the seat system with sufficient strength to satisfy load testing requirements and to provide comfort to the occupant. The vehicle system may include a tilt adjustment mechanism that allows tilting of the seat frame and that may also form part of a cushion slide mechanism.
