A seat is pivotally attached to the support members adjacent the upper rear corner areas, operable to pivot from a stowed position adjacent a rear face of the storage compartment to an operating position between upper edges of the support members.

The support members are adaptable to be fitted around the sides of the travel bag. Each support member defines an upper rear corner, and, a seat is pivotally attached to the support members adjacent the upper rear corners, operable to pivot from a stowed position adjacent a rear face of the travel bag to an operating position between upper edges of the support members.
