A vehicle bench seat seat belt buckle (14) is anchored by a webbing strap (18) to an anchor (16) and projects from a seat cushion (10); which comprises upholstered foam (12). A buckle mounting arrangement (20A) comprises an aperture (22) through the foam through which the webbing strap passes; and at least one recess (34, 36) in the foam adjacent to said aperture. The recess(es) enable the foam to deform so that the buckle (14) passes upwardly through the aperture (22) during vehicle assembly (Fig. 4); but the aperture (22) shrinks after assembly, so that the buckle cannot fall down below the cushion. The mounting arrangement may comprise a slot which opens at the rear of the cushion. The webbing strap (18) can then be fed into the slot from the rear, without passing the buckle (14) through the slot.
