Morphology
bucket + seat
The noun-noun compound 'bucket seat' is transparently read as a 'seat' that is like a 'bucket'—i.e. a contoured, single-person seat shaped to hold someone securely. This compositional, descriptive pattern (modifier+head) is common in English, so a B1 learner who knows 'bucket' and 'seat' can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bucket seat comes from the seat's shape: like a bucket it cups you and keeps you steady, so the name now means a low, curved seat made for 'one person'.
