The new taxon is characterized by a plate-like medial process of the scapula, a prominent proximal expansion of the deltopectoral crest of the humerus, a strongly inclined distal articular surface of the radius, and a proximally and laterally hypertrophied proximal metacarpal I. Phylogenetic analysis recovers Seitaad as a derived basal sauropodomorph closely related to plateosaurid or massospondylid 'prosauropods' and its presence in western North America is not unexpected for a member of this highly cosmopolitan clade.

Exclusion of character 189 from the analysis reduces the number of MPTs to 8 (762 steps, CI 0.388, RI 0.660) and resolves many of the ingroup relationships among prosauropods in the strict consensus (
