You are going to need to take the cover off the seat and weld it. If you don't weld, then just take it to a welding shop. Then, the next time your brats get into the car, make sure it is decided beforehand who sits where.

Depending on where the seat frame broke, welding will work. If it's at the pivot post, find a new frame. The track rail may be more difficult. What year car?

If the rail pulled out of the body you will need to remove the carpet and weld in a reinforcement plate. As to the seat, your best bet is to get one from a junk yard. Also try your local Craig's list - http://www.craigslist.org/ - Remember, Craig's list has a reputation of having a lot of scams.
