Why doesn't my weld script weld my seats?

In trying to make a boat, I need to weld the entire thing together with ManualWelds. So in doing so, I've managed to weld every BasePart together except for seats, which is to say that Seats don't get welded, while everything else does properly. I added the following line of code:

print(child.Name.." , the "..child.ClassName.." has been successfully welded to "..script.Parent.Primary.Name)

And it printed, "PilotSeat , the Seat has been successfully welded to Primary"

Though, when I tested it and looked in the explorer, there was no weld parented to the seat, even though the script is supposed to parent the ManualWeld to the children of the model, and the line which appeared in the output.

Below is the entire script.

local function weldBetween(a, b)
    --Make a new Weld and Parent it to a.
    if a.ClassName == "Part" or a.ClassName == "UnionOperation" then

    local weld = Instance.new("ManualWeld", a)
    weld.Part0 = a
    weld.Part1 = b
    weld.Name = "Weld"
    --Get the CFrame of b relative to a.
    weld.C0 = a.CFrame:inverse() * b.CFrame
    --Return the reference to the weld so that you can change it later.

    return weld
    end
end

for index, child in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
    print(child.ClassName)
    if child.ClassName == "Part" or child.ClassName == "UnionOperation" or child.ClassName == "Seat" then
        print(child.Name.." , the "..child.ClassName.." has been successfully welded to "..script.Parent.Primary.Name)
        weld1 = weldBetween(child, script.Parent.Primary)
        child.Anchored = false
    end
end

Thanks for the help!
