Trying to find out what the seats of the crane criterion toilet seat PAT.2334855 are made of because I have no clue. My grandmother felt the urge to paint the seat every few years without stripping the previous coat. I am trying to figure what would be safe to strip the paint off without harming the actual seat. Can anyone help?

If it is the "original" Criterion "saddle seat" then I am afraid you are out of luck because I have not seen one of those in over 50 years.

Actually, I was just thinking that it is probably wood, because plastics technology was in its infancy at that point. If you want to strip it down, test the underside of the seat with a mild paint stripping agent in a small area.

There's a product on the market that should be able to handle your project safely and extremely easily. The product "Peel Away" (and a few others) is made by Dumond Chemicals and because of the small size of your project, you could almost surely get by with one of their trial sizes or it you're not sure which to use they have a test patch kit.
You apply the cream/paste to your surface, press the special, supplied paper down on the surface and wait overnight. The next day you "peel away" the paper and all that built up paint comes off with it (including safely removing lead paints).
If you're interested in the product, their website has pretty decent descriptions of what they do and the differences between them.
Just for reference, my only association with this company is that I used the product a couple of times and was absolutely stunned by the results.
Good luck. Watch out for splinters!

If it is a saddle seat it was plastic.
