Star Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray

I just recently received this item in the mail. My son has not used it yet in the car, but the packaging for the item was really annoying. It comes folded in half in the package which leaves a big crease down the center and makes it so that the edges fold down. Hopefully I will be able to get it to stand up again before our long car trip this summer.

We purchased this tray for our daughter to use for her 1st long car trip/vacation. Overall she loved it and used it to color, eat snacks and even play with a little playdough in the car. It can be a pain to take on and off while driving but we just undid one side and let it hang by the door until she wanted to use it again. Overall I think it's great, soft yet sturdy.

We recently used this lap tray on a trip and we were pleased with the results. It is soft so it does not create the "flat" surface that is ideal for coloring and balancing toys. It is nice to use for snacks in the car but if not installed level the food does tend to roll into her lap. However, with safety in mind this is the best solution when compared with the hard surface lap travel trays. :)

For the longest time we have been looking for some kind of device for use by my 2 year old daughter while in the car to help keep her toys/pencils etc from hitting the floor while driving. After reading such great reviews about this product, at last we thought we found it and the search was over! I wouldn't say the tray isn't a good product, but I suppose I let my anticipation get the better of me...
As we took the tray out of the box, it did seem to be a little on the flimsy side and I had initial doubts about it, but that wasn't really the problem I ended up having with it. Like I mentioned before, the main reason we bought the tray was to help keep her things from hitting the floor while we drove, and even though the tray does have sides to the front of the device and on the sides, it does NOT have any that surround the back side of it and invariably the first set of pens my daughter layed on the tray rolled right off and onto the floor! UGH! The search continues! I do have to mention that overall my daughter seemed to like it and the "softness" to it seemed to work in her favor as she was able not to feel like she was held down in a device. It was easy to attach also. I think if they could put a "lip" on the back part of the tray that it would be an "outstanding" product for what we were looking for!

We have used the hard plastic versions of this tray and have been very satified with the product. However, I feel the hard one is not safe so I opted to buy this product. Of course, it's not as sturdy but I does it's job. I think it's a little over priced for what you get but I'm glad I have it and my son enjoys using this on long trips.
