    I tried that but it feels like it's really bolted down, as if it's not supposed to be pulled up. I don't want to break it... ?

    You won't break it. Give it a good jerk up, one side at a time. The anchor points are on the front of the seat, on both sides.

    And then to put the seat back in, I just push it down hard?

    As has been said you won't break it. Just yank it hard and it'll come.

    You just need to make sure that the back of the seat bottom is tucked under the seat back a bit and that you've got it as far back as it'll go. Then push it down with some serious force, or hop on the seat over top of the two securing points to get them back down.

    It'll make sense once you pull the seat off and see it all.
