Star Kids Snack and Play Travel Tray

We recently bought 2 of these for a longish road trip to my inlaws' home. I have 2 very active three year olds with VERY short attention spansthese trays were great for them! First off, they are lightweight and easily stored in our vehicle, plus they are soft and thus should not hurt our children in the event of an accident. Second, they were very easy to hook and unhook from their car seats, so pretty easy to get them in and out of their seats when we made stops. Third, they LOVE the side pockets for storageit made it so easy for them to stick their cups and other activities in the pockets so they could move on to another project. Fourth, these were handy trays for eating their snacks/meals while we were on the go!

The only downside I could see to these trays (and it was not even that much of a downside) was that they would slightly slope in to my children's laps (rather than staying flat), so food/crayons/etc had a tendnacy to slide closer to their bodies rather than stay on the outside edges of the trays. But overall, these were WELL worth the investment!

I read all the reviews before I purchased this item as I was looking for a snack tray for my son to use while in the car as he usually eats a light breakfast in the car on the way to school. After the first time using it, I knew it wouldn't work. It is in fact very flimsy and will always slant in some direction. Being flimsy, however, does keep it safe in case one gets in an accident...but nevertheless, this item did not do the job for me. I returned it to amazon.com and received a refund (less restocking fee depending on the vendor). My son really couldn't use it as a tray to eat on as the food would always slide down and the tray is not hard enough (very fast) to use for drawing. I ended up not using a snack tray and instead have trained my son to hold/balance a plastic tupperware to hold snacks/food. It worked better for me, and when he was done eating, he could just give me the tupperware and he would be free from the "tray". You can't really take the tray out unless you stop driving, park and unsnap the tray. It didn't work for us, but that's not to say it wouldn't work for others.

This is a great travel tray for my 3 year old son. We have a Britax carseat and this fits perfectly. It is just sturdy enough that he is able to eat snacks, color, and play with his cars and other small toys. It also keeps everything from constantly falling on the floor. The mesh pockets on the side are also a great feature.

I bought this for a family road trip to Florida. It worked fairly well for my 4 y.o. It is nice and large, but a bit more flimsey than I expected. Overall, if it was less expensive, it would be worth buying. I believe that it is currently over-priced.

I love the idea behind this tray. It is made of great materials (soft yet firm; not floppy) and if it had fit I think my son would have really enjoyed it. However, it didn't work with his car seat. Ours has slightly higher, curved sides, and so the tray (even when buckled around my son) couldn't get close enough. There was a gap of about 8 or 10 inches from his tummy to the beginning of the tray, which made it very difficult for him to play with anything on it. I had wanted to use it for toys and food, but the food was spilled into the 8 inch gap, and the toys slid to the back of the tray where he couldn't reach them. Disappointing! In any case, I'd recommend this tray as a great product, but you should definitely check your car seat's construction before buying one. I also would love to see a caution to this effect in their description, so what happened for us doesn't catch others by surprise.
