An amusement ride restraint system includes an amusement ride car. A lap pad is configured to selectively engage a lap of the rider while the rider is positioned within the seat. A first linkage is pivotally coupled to the lap pad and pivotally coupled relative to the floor of the ride car, the first linkage operable to rotate the lap pad into i) an engaged position in which the rider is restrained in the seat, and ii) a loading position in which the rider can be loaded into or unloaded from the seat. The lap pad is constrained to pivotal motion relative to the first linkage such that the lap pad is oriented in a substantially vertical attitude relative to the seat when moved into the loading position and is oriented in a substantially horizontal attitude relative to the seat when moved into the engaged position.
