A baggage restraint system for the containment of luggage and other personal or group articles, such as camping gear or sport equipment, to the confines of two or more successive seats in a commercial passenger vehicle, such as a school bus. The system comprises an enclosure, and the means by which it may be releasably secured to the vehicle cabin floor. The system's enclosure is constructed of tear-resistant fabric panels, as an essentially rectangular or forward-leaning, four-sided cuboid. The enclosure is shaped and dimensioned to envelope a predetermined number of seats in a target vehicle. The system's means of securement include: a plurality of depending loops, affixed along one or more of the enclosure's bottom and windows-side edges; a plurality of floor and sidewall anchor tabs; and a plurality of carabiners and adjustable straps, linking each anchor tab to one of the depending loops.

The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein said enclosure walls are interconnected by interfacing edge members, which interconnection being detachable. 3. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein said base section of each of said anchor tabs, conforms with registering holes to the base of the seat-mount fixtures of said target vehicle and to the cabin floor area underneath, and is affixed therebetween. 4. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein said depending loops of said aisle-side wall, are manifested as successive interstices in a strap which is affixed at regular intervals thereto. 5. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein said depending loops adjacent the windows-side edge of said top wall, are manifested as successive interstices in a strap which is affixed at regular intervals thereto. 6. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of depending loops or grommet eyes disposed along and adjacent the bottom edge of said front wall, or back wall, or of both walls, each of which loops or grommet eyes being susceptible to engagement by said linking device to one of said anchor tabs. 7. The restraint system set forth in claim 6, wherein said depending loops, are manifested as successive interstices in a strap which is affixed at regular intervals to the respective said wall. 8. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said adjustable straps is formed distally with a bight, thereby to embrace, when deployed, a fixed frame member on the windows-side of the nearest enveloped seat, which is susceptible to such engagement. 9. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said adjustable straps, when deployed, is linked distally to one of said anchor tabs, which is affixed to the cabin sidewall on the windows side of said target vehicle. 10. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, wherein said linking device is a carabiner. 11. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, further comprising at least one zipper, which zipper being incorporated into said aisle-side wall, or into said top wall, or into both of said walls, or is built into two or more interfacing edge members, if present, thereby to facilitate access to stowed baggage. 12. The restraint system set forth in claim 11, further comprising one or more sets of reinforcing straps, the straps of each of which sets being affixed to an associated one of said walls, spanning longitudinally and laterally the surface thereof in a generally latticework pattern, wherein conterminous pairs of said reinforcing straps which terminate adjacent said zipper are adapted with depending looped ends, which ends being linked by said linking device. 13. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, further comprising one or more sets of reinforcing straps, the straps of each of which sets being affixed to an associated one of said walls, spanning longitudinally and laterally the surface thereof in a generally latticework pattern. 14. The restraint system set forth in claim 13, wherein each of said adjustable straps is linked proximally to a depending loop extending from the windows-side end of each of said reinforcing straps which is affixed to said top wall and terminates at said end. 15. The restraint system set forth in claim 1, further comprising an auxiliary compartment, which compartment being constructed as a fully closed, flat-bottomed cell, and is disposed, when deployed, atop said enclosure. 16. The restraint system set forth in claim 15, wherein said auxiliary compartment is detachably secured to said enclosure, when deployed. 17.
