The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said cover member is formed substantially of a flexible sheet material. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said seat platform is coupled to said cover member in a manner that permits adjustment of the height of said seat platform. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said seat platform is coupled to said cover member in a manner that permits adjustment of the tilt of said seat platform. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said attachment mechanism includes a plurality of fastening mechanisms for releasably securing said cover member to a sitting structure. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said plurality of fastening mechanisms includes at least a first type of fastening member that functions based on gravity and a second type of fastening member that functions based on mated-coupling. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a child retaining mechanism that retains a child safely in said child seat apparatus. 8. A non-freestanding child seat apparatus, comprising: a cover member made of flexible material that is configured for releasable attachment to a sitting structure and to fit over and descend from at least a portion of a sitting structure; a seat platform coupled to said flexible cover member in a manner that permits adjustment of the height of said seat platform; and an attachment mechanism for releasably coupling said flexible member to a sitting structure; wherein said flexible cover member has provided proximate a top portion thereof a plurality of seat platform attachment members, said seat platform being coupled to said flexible cover member through said plurality of seat platform attachment members in a manner that permits adjustment of the position of said seat platform relative to the flexible cover member. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said seat platform is coupled to said flexible cover member in a manner that permits adjustment of the tilt of said seat platform. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said flexible cover member is configured to be longer than wide and to substantially cover a back portion and a seat portion of a sitting structure to which said apparatus is releasably attached. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein said attachment mechanism includes a plurality of fastening mechanisms for releasably attaching said flexible cover member to a sitting structure. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein said plurality of fastening mechanisms includes at least a first type of fastening member that functions based on gravity and a second type of fastening member that functions based on mated-coupling. 13. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a child retaining mechanism that retains a child safely in said child seat apparatus. 14. A non-freestanding child seat apparatus, comprising: a member made of flexible material that is configured for releasable attachment to a sitting structure and to fit over and descend from at least a portion of a sitting structure; a seat platform coupled to said flexible member; and an attachment mechanism that releasably couples said flexible member to a sitting structure, said attachment member including a first type of fastening member that functions based on gravity and a second type of fastening member that functions based on mated-coupling; wherein said flexible member includes a back portion configured to cover at least in part the back of a sitting structure and said apparatus further comprises a plurality of adjustable seat platform attachment members provided proximate said back portion. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said flexible member is configured to be longer than wide and to substantially cover a back portion and a seat portion of a sitting structure to which said apparatus is releasably attached. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said seat platform is coupled to said flexible member in a manner that permits adjustment of the height of said seat platform. 17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said seat platform is coupled to said flexible member in a manner that permits adjustment off the tilt of said seat platform. 18. The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising a child retaining mechanism that retains a child safely in said child seat apparatus.
