Abstract: The invention is an adjustable anchoring tote bag assembly for attachment to a half-height partition in a bus. The assembly includes a bag member fastened to an elongated planar flexible anchoring member having a length sufficient for encircling the partition and producing an overlapping section. A first fastening assembly secures the anchoring member overlapping section together. A second fastening assembly further secures the overlapping section together. A third fastening assembly secures the anchoring member to the partition. A fourth fastening assembly between the bag member open top end and the anchoring member holds the bag member top end closed. The tote bag assembly is used to secure articles in a school bus to prevent injury should a vehicle accident occur.
