Star Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray

Great concept to have a travel tray for all of the toys, gadgets, and snacks that my 2 year old daughter likes to have with her on longer car rides. We do frequent 1.5 hour trips to my parent's house- so I thought this would be a great product for us.

First, my daughter didn't like it. She didn't like having something rest on her legs. She kept trying to push it off. I insisted she try it for at least a little while. She colored for about 2 minutes, and then wanted the thing off. Because I had buckled it around her seat, I was not able to help her take it off until I pulled over to get into the back.

So, then we tried the tray without securing it around her seat. It was a little better, but the tray was just not hard enought to really support toys and coloring. Crayons kept rolling onto her lap.

It did fit our carseat (AlphaSport). I love the side net bags- I wish her carseat had them. It would be very safe in an accident. It stored well in our car. I could see this working well on an airplane as well- so your son/daughter had a larger surface than the tiny airplane trays.

In the end, after months of trying periodically, we retired it to the goodwill pile. I could see this as a great product, it unfortuantely did not work well for us.

This is a decent travel tray. I was hoping the flat part would be a little more sturdy and firm than it is. It also didn't fit well over my son's Sunshine Kids car seat. I think it would work better on a wider car seat.

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 fab idea but it's not very sturdy. We'll keep trying but my daughter loses interest pretty quickly with this thing.

This is a terrific product - we did a 22-hour road trip with a 4 year old and 19 month old and loved this product.
