I replaced the 'seat retaining nuts' with the quick release (toggle) nut and bolt from my kids razor scooters (they don't ride them anymore, I'm not that mean).
You could also use the toggle bolt thing from the seatpost of a mountain bike.
Flip 2 levers and the seat comes off.
There is a post on this forum somewhere about it. Maybe the author will chime in and post a link to the thread.Pat Kelly

Re: Seat bolts
They are carriage bolts. half round top and square near the shank. Usually there is wood (like popsicle stick) above the head of the bold to assure that the square section is within the slot.
