A seat caddy having at least one rear member suitable to engage a bench. According to one embodiment of the subject matter disclosed herein, typically two bench-engaging members are rotatably attached to the bottom rear of a seat cushion such that when rotated into an engagement position, the bench-engaging members may secure the seat cushion from moving, sliding or rotating away from an optimal bench position. Further, a storage bag may be removably attached to the bottom front of the seat cushion, such that the storage bag hangs from the front of the seat cushion and provides an additional securing force for maintaining the seat caddy position when engaged with a seat.

What is claimed is: 1. A seat caddy, comprising: a top portion operable to engage a bench, the top portion having a front side and a rear side such that when engaged with the bench, the front side aligns with a front side of the bench and the rear side aligns with a rear side of the bench; at least

What is claimed is: 1. A seat caddy, comprising: a top portion operable to engage a bench, the top portion having a front side and a rear side such that when engaged with the bench, the front side aligns with a front side of the bench and the rear side aligns with a rear side of the bench; at least one rigid bench engagement member attached to the top portion near the rear side such that the bench engagement member comprises a vertical configuration to couple with, and is configured to engage the bench to oppose an upward rotation of the top portion away from the bench in the presence of a moment force at the front side of the top portion, the seat engagement member being rotatably attached to the bottom side of the top portion such that the seat engagement member assumes a horizontal orientation when the seat engagement member rotates to a storage position being parallel with the bottom side of the top portion; and a storage cavity removably attached to the top portion near the front side such that the storage cavity hangs from the top portion in front of the bench and such that the storage cavity generates a moment force at the front side of the top portion causing the bench engagement member to engage the bench; and at least one securing mechanism projecting from the bottom side of the top portion for engaging each seat engagement member when the seat engagement member is rotated to the storage position wherein the securing mechanism comprises a plastic engagement device with a concave slot facing away from the bottom side of the top portion, the securing mechanism securely holding the seat engagement member in the storage position when the seat engagement member rotates to pass through the opening of the securing mechanism, and the seat engagement member being releasably detachable from the securing mechanism when rotated into the vertical configuration to hook around the seat. 2. The seat caddy of claim 1 wherein the top portion further comprises a cushion surface suitable for seating a human. 3. The seat caddy of claim 2, wherein the top portion comprises a material selected from the group comprising: leather, vinyl, cloth, plastic, composite, fabric, and canvas. 4. The seat caddy of claim 1, wherein the bench engaging member is rotatably attached to the top portion such that the bench engaging member is operable to be rotated to a storage position while still attached to the top portion when not engaged with a bench. 5. The seat caddy of claim 4, wherein the top portion further comprises a securing mechanism for engaging the rotatably attached bench-engaging member when the bench-engaging member is rotated to a storage position. 6. The seat caddy of claim 4 further comprising a carry strap removably attached to the top portion. 7. The seat caddy of claim 1 wherein the storage cavity comprises a movable flap opening such that the movable flap opening may be secured in a closed position enclosing the storage cavity and secured in an open position exposing the storage cavity. 8. The seat caddy of claim 7 wherein the storage cavity is insulated for maintaining a temperature inside the storage cavity. 9. The seat caddy of claim 1 further comprising a manipulation device for removing the storage cavity, the manipulation device selected from the group comprising: a push-button latch, a hook and latch attachment, a tie-down, a pressure-ring latch, a snap, and a zip-latch. 10. The seat caddy of claim 1, further comprising a seat back member rotatably attached to the rear side of the top portion such that the seat back may be rotated to a vertical position to support the back of a person seated in the seat caddy and rotated to a horizontal position parallel with the top portion for storage while the seat caddy is engaged with a bench. 11. The seat caddy of claim 1 comprising a first and second bench engaging member; and a first and second securing mechanism; wherein the first and second bench engaging member are rotatably attached to the top portion such that the first and second bench engaging member are operable to be rotated to a storage position while still attached to the top portion when not engaged with a bench; wherein the first securing mechanism engages the rotatably attached first bench engaging member when the first bench engaging member is rotated to a storage position; and wherein the second securing mechanism engages the rotatably attached second bench engaging member when the second bench engaging member is rotated to a storage position. 12. An apparatus, comprising: a seat suitable for supporting a human in a sitting position; and a seat caddy engaged with the seat, the seat caddy comprising: a top portion operable to engage the seat, the top portion having a front side and a rear side such that when engaged with the seat, the front side aligns with a front side of the seat and the rear side aligns with a rear side of the seat; at least one rigid seat engagement member attached to the top portion near the rear side such that the seat engagement member has a vertical configuration to hook around the seat to oppose an upward rotation of the top portion away from the seat in the presence of a moment force at the front side of the top portion, the seat engagement member being rotatably attached to the bottom side of the top portion such that the seat engaging member has a horizontal configuration where the seat engagement member rotates to a storage position being parallel with the bottom side of the top portion; a storage cavity removably attached to the top portion near the front side such that storage cavity hangs from the top portion in front of the seat and such that the storage cavity generates a moment force at the front side of the top portion causing the bench engagement member to engage the bench; and at least one securing mechanism projecting from the bottom side of the top portion for engaging each seat engagement member when the seat engagement member is rotated to the storage position, wherein the securing mechanism is a U-shaped plastic engagement device and has an opening facing away from the bottom side of the top portion, the securing mechanism securely holding the seat engagement member in the storage position when the seat engagement member rotates to pass through the opening of the securing mechanism, and the seat engagement member being releasably detachable from the securing mechanism when rotated into the vertical configuration to hook around the seat. 13. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the seat comprises a bench seat having a suitable length for multiple humans to sit, the bench suitable for engaging the seat caddy. 14. A method for attaching a seat caddy to a seat, the method comprising: engaging an adjustable seat caddy with a seat, such that a top portion of the seat caddy rests on the seat and a cavity portion is supported by an attachment to the top portion such that the cavity hangs in front of the seat; disengaging at least one seat engaging member from a plastic storage slot of a securing mechanism, the securing mechanism extending from the bottom side of the top portion and configured to securely hold the engaging member in a storage position parallel with the bottom side of the top portion when the engaging member is within the slot; rotating the at least one seat engaging member into a vertical engagement position, the engaging member comprising a vertical body to couple to the seat; and adjusting at least one seat engaging member positioned at a side opposite the cavity portion such that moment force due to gravity present at the front of the seat causes the at least one seat engaging member to engage the seat. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein the adjusting at least one seat engaging member comprises rotating the at least one seat engaging member about an axis existing in a plane perpendicular from the direction of the moment force from a storage position to an engagement position.
