Side-facing belted aircraft seats include a tactile signaling unit to induce movement of the seat occupant. For such purpose, the signaling unit may be provided with a signaling lid covering a female buckle of a lap belt restraint assembly. The signaling lid is moveable between a closed position wherein engagement of a male tab of the lap belt with the female buckle is precluded and an open position wherein engagement of the male tab with the female buckle is allowed. The signaling lid thereby provides tactile stimulation when in the open position thereof to induce the seated occupant to shift on the cushioned seat so that a midsaggital plane of the occupant is aligned with an offset plane of the seat that is offset by a predetermined distance toward one side of the seat relative to a midplane of the seat.
