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 spans- these 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 storage- it 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 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.

This is a flexible, soft surface tray that can be used over a car seat or stroller and is great for placing over the tray on an airplane. The 2-inch border prevents toys and food or drink from falling on the floor. It is nice to know that the surface my son is playing and eating off of is more sanitary than a tray table on the airplane! I fold the tray in half and put it in the bottom of the stroller or strapped to our bag for easy transport through the airport. The Snack and Play Travel Tray is a "JetWithKids" recommended product!

I purchased this product for my 20 month old son to use on a 800 mile car trip. It was very helpful for giving him small snacks like cereal, and crackers while on the road. Much easier than handing him one piece at a time! The tray wiped clean very easily. There were some crumbs in the corners, but we just shook them out into the trash. It was also good for small toys and books. I like that it is made out of a soft, but durable material, which makes it safe in case of a car accident. The material feels like the padded shoulder straps of a backpack. It is lightweight, and my son didn't seem to mind it. He even fell asleep with the tray in place. This tray will go with us on every car trip in the future!
Just what I wanted!

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.

We used the tray for the first time for our 3.5 year old son, he loved it. He used it for his monster trucks and beanie babies as well as some snacks.It was great for me too because on a normal road trip I have to twist and turn around in my seat to grab a toy off the floor that he has dropped or that has slipped off his lap, with his toys being on the tray nothing fell off. The tray is not solid sturdy but it was not flimsy either. I think it will be great on all our road trips and I would recommend it to anyone traveling with a child.

After using these for the first time on a cross country trip with my 2 & 3 year olds, I would not be without them ever again! The pockets ensured they would not lose their markers or juice cup. The sides guaranteed nothing rolling or sliding off into the "no man's land" of the car floor during our multiday car trip. I would recommend this product to anyone with toddler or preschool age children. Having these helped me to provide activities to break up the trip and made my kids better travelers. Other products hooked on the back of the seat and left a large gap where I had my kids' booster seats adjusted or were permanently attached to their seat. I wanted something I could adjust and choose to strap down or not. Not to mention the safety factor of being totally collapsible. In the event of an accident I did not have to worry about what this product would do. It cleaned up like a breeze, and I keep it in the van for a just in case anytime.

I purchased the Snack & Play Travel Tray for a 4-hour plane trip because traveling with a 2 year old can be pretty challenging. I really liked how easy it was to strap onto my daughter's car seat once we were in flight. But the best part is that all of her food and toys wouldn't fall onto the floor of the airplane which really made my day.
We haven't yet used it in the car, but I plan on doing so for our next road trip!

Excellent product! We ordered 2 for our two children. I was a bit skeptical when ordering, due to a few of the "not so happy reviews" but I am glad I got these trays. They are soft (and therefore safe) but sturdy enough for those little arts crafts while on the road. I would recommend to everyone. We have Britax Marathon car seats and these trays fit perfect.

I decided to take a chance on this item right before our month of leave with a one year old. If you read all the reviews 1/2 are favorable and 1/2 aren't. What the reviews dont say specifically is that it only works with certain car seats. It does not work with a Graco. The slant of the Graco arm rests causes the tray to slant towards the childs body which causes everything to roll down into the carseat. This product is a wonderful idea however its flexability works against it. I might try stuffing the sides of the car seat with blankets to see if it will hold flat...if my child can stand it!! It will work for an older child who has a booster seat with straight arm rests so maybe when my child is older it will be just the thing. I'll keep it till then.

I bought two of these for our 15 hour road trip. We didn't really use it too much because everytime we had to get out of the car we had to unbuckle it. It worked really well for our 4 year old but not so much for the 2 1/2 year old. It doesn't go all the way up to the car seat, so, it works better with booster seats. But, overall I would recommend this for families with older children who like to color.

I bought this for a 12 hour road trip with my 19 month old son. I think he may be too young for it, but it rests on his knees seems to really bug him.
br /
br /I really like the raised sides, it keeps his playthings and cheerios from sliding off of the tray. This keeps us from having to twist around from the front try to retrieve the "lost" items. :)
br /
br /It's very large, so plenty of room for his books. He likes to "read" in the car, but his little hands often have trouble holding on to the books, so this solves that problem.
br /
br /I also like the netted holders on the side for when he is older and has the dexterity to reach in and pull things out.
br /
br /I don't like how it rests on his legs. It's vinyl and therefore is uncomfortable on his skin and is hot (we live in Florida). But it is very easy to wipe off.
br /
br /We have a Britax Boulevard and the sides slope too steeply is the reason why it rests on his knees.
br /
br /He'll use it for about 10 minutes, then he wants it off. Maybe when he's older, it won't bother him as much.

I bought this item a few weeks ago for my 20 month old son. We will be doing a lot of long distance traveling and I wanted him to be able to play. He immediately loved it and always wants the tray on when he gets in his car seat.
It is soft (which I really like for safety reasons) and doesn't stay totally flat. It slopes a bit but it's not a problem at all.
If the car seat the your child rides in has a back the has a strong slope to the arm rests, this tray will end up being a few inches away from their body. We have a Britax Boulevard so it's NOT problem for us but a friend of mine did have a problem with it.
Definitely a good purchase, well worth the money!

My fiance and I used this for our 4 year old son for a 6 hour trip to Atlanta. It fit nicely over the arm rests on his booster seat, (his booster seat has the back on it and arm rests), and it was easy to put on and take off. All of his crayons and books fit nicely in the side pockets and were easily accessible to him. He used it for coloring, playing with toys and eating. (It's also very easy to clean!) The trip was in August before school started and we've kept it in the car for him to use since then. VERY happy with this product!

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.

I like this tray well enough and do think that it is safer than a hard tray. My daughter(14 mo) can look at her books now without struggling to hold them in her lap. Goldfish do find there way into her lap and she can't pull her drink cup out of the side netting without help. The tray also slopes forward, but it only took her about a day to figure out if she raised her legs she could make everything slide back towards her! I would buy it again though.

We used this on vacation (6 hour drive) for my two year old. He used it for coloring and playing with his other toys. Helped that we didn't have to reach back & pick things up for him every five minutes. It's a little hard to keep it completely upright - tends to slope downward - probably depends on the car seat though. Better than a completely stiff tray though since it's much safer.

We got this product for our 1 year old becasue we take alot of long car trips, i went back and forth between this and the hard plastic version and chose this for the saftey rated crash test...it is soft and would just crumble down, where as the hard plastic trays would cause injury. The mesh pockets are nice on the sides and the try is pretty good over all, but it does not sit flat and the items slid back toward the child and fall down through the cracks if they are small...

The Star Kids Snack and Play Travel Tray is a very useful product. We traveled 2000 miles roundtrip on our recent vacation and our 4 year old really benefitted from the tray. It is more flexible than I expected, but that makes sense for crash safety. The pockets are deep and hold lots of toys. There are no sides or legs on the tray, it drapes across your childs lap/car seat and the pockets hang over the sides. It can be relatively easily folded and tucked away when not in use. The tray will sit differently on various booster and car seats, some may be too wide for an ideal fit. Our Graco Turbo Booster was perfect and Our Graco convertable infant/toddler seat was okay, but tray was on a bit of an angle.

This has limited the number of toys that fall off our girl's laps while traveling in our pick-up truck! The only draw back is not being able to easily use the cup holders while this is attached. However, if you just fold under the one side pouch that would cover the cup holder, you can use both! Highly recommend this product. Very easy to attach and un-attach again to swing away while not in use.

I bought this for my 22 month old for a 9 hour trip in the car. It took a little getting used to (for him), but after he got over having something on his lap, he loved that he could have a lot of cars and other toys right at his disposal. Normally, he could just hold two things and books often fell on the floor. The tray has a nice lip around the edge that keeps this from happening.

br /The material is soft, so the tray does bend. However, things don't fall off. I like this product because I don't have to worry about it injuring my child in a crash. It's easy to put on and take off, and it folds up so you can tuck it away in your luggage.

br /I have a Britax Marathon and Boulevard. It works well with both. I tried what another reviewer suggested and fed the strap through the opening in the back of the car seat. This keeps the tray nice and secure. I have already recommended this product to my friends.

I was pretty excited to find a try for my daughter's booster for an up and coming summer road trip. When my tray arrived in the mail, I quickly realized that it would never hold up to the long hike. The tray is made entirely of foam, which might make it safer but in turn makes it useless. Since there is no hard surface on the tray top, a child can not write or draw on the flat surface as pictured on the item descriptions. And since the tray did not fit our booster seat as promised, it couldn't be used to play either as it kept slipping off the arms or caving down onto my child's seat. This was such a waste of time and money - I would suggest the Babu Go-Anywhere Tray set. It turned out to be much sturdier and held up for our long trip.

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.

I was very exited to get this product for my daughter. However when we started using it we found it is difficult for her to keep it in her lap. It's not as sturdy as I would have imagined it would be. It's difficult to get the strap around her tight enough to hold the tray upright. Its also time consuming getting everything on and off of it to move it to get her in or out of the carseat.
Great idea, maybe kids will grow into it.

I purchased two of these trays for my daughters, ages 3 and 18 months. We went on a road trip and I thought it would be a good way for them to be able to color or prop up their books. The sides worked great to keep the markers from rolling off the tray; however, because of how they buckle around the child, this caused the tray to tilt, so the markers easily fell down around their waist and into their carseats. My 3 year old didn't care and enjoyed using the tray; my 18 month old got frustrated with it, which is understandable given her age. I think they'll function better as the girls get older and transition to booster seats.

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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.

I have twin boys age 3. We're going on a long road trip and I stumbled across this product in a web search for a road trip checklist for travelers w/ small children.
br /
br /Comments: it does provide a flat surface that nicely accommodates coloring, cards, play dough, sml cars and games. It is light weight has a nice rim that surrounds 3 sides out of 4. With caution, it can accommodate a meal/snack on the go such as a sandwich and apple slices/crackers but would highly advise against liquid based foods such as soups and sauces. Warning: should a spill happen, it will end up in your child's lap (this of course is due to the 4th side with no rim around the edge. And lastly for someone considering buying this product and wondering the sturdiness of it....the entire tray could be squished up into a ball with your hands; however, it is still firm enough to accomplish the above mentioned activities. Also the sides you see hanging are merely mesh storage bags, they provide no support. And although it has a strap to go around your car seat to provide additional stability the tray does rest just above and basically on your child's lap. So the balance act is really going to be based on your child's ability to manage his leg movement. Now with my two they have not dumped anything with normal fidgeting movement but if you have an above active child, I could see this being a problem.
br /
br /All and all for what's out there, it seems like a decent option for now. In my opinion, it's overpriced but that's supply demand for ya. There's definite room for some improvement. Some have found luck with just basic breakfast-in-bed type trays that fit right in their child's car seats. Some are very inexpensive too such as the aluminum ones that have the legs that fold out. Hope this helps.

A long car trip must. My only complaint is the side mesh pockets are hard for little hands to get oddly-shaped toys in and out of (things get hung up easily). The surface is a bit on the soggy side, but I understand why the manufacturer has to do that. But, it's rigid enough for a coloring book, just not loose sheets. Just the fact that it keeps everything from hitting the floor makes it worthwhile...

Our daughter is 2 years old and loves this tray. It is soft and so safe for use in the car. The tray holds her toys, books, and snacks enabling her to play more easily on her own. She stays busy for longer periods of time and this make road trips much easier for us. Our daughter also found that it is a fun item to play peek-a-boo with. The tray is easy to set up and take down. The only thing that doesn't seem to work well are the side pockets. Perhaps it is because our daughter is so young, but she is unable to put items in or take items out of the side pockets on her own.

I bought this for my four year old daughter. I also got her the Alex Valet. They're both great, but for different reasons. The Star Kids tray is great because it fastens right up against her - which is good for snacks etc. The pockets were immediately handy for all the stuff I normally have to hand her (and take back from her) during car trips. The surface was firm, but not hard. I would say it's less firm than it looks in the picture. I would recommend this for younger kids over something like the Alex Valet.
Drawbacks are:
- It's hard to get unclipped from the side furthest from you.
- It's awkward to store it/set it aside when the pockets are filled with things (they tend to fall out).
- For booster seats it blocks access to drink/snack holders, and doesn't really provide one as a substitute.
I do like this tray, but I will use the Alex in my car, and put this in my husband's car as our second tray.

I bought this tray for my 15-month-old son a few months ago, and we love it. We ocmmute an hour each way to work/daycare, and it has really helped keep him entertained. I load him up with toys and his sippy cup, and snacks when he needs them. He can reach everything, and quickly learned to tilt the trau with his legs to roll things towards him. It does rest on his legs, but is very lightweight and hasn't seemed to bother him yet. the sides are great b/c things don't roll off. At this age, the side pockets are useless b/c he can't reach them, but soon he'll be able to store stuff in them. Well worth the money.

We bought this for my two-year-old prior to our cross country flight for Thanksgiving. We had first taken his car seat on the plane this summer and were dismayed to find he could not use the seat back tray. I was very pleased with the design of this tray. It was compact enough to fit in our carry on bag with toys and books. I found it to be easy to install on his seat during the flight and easy to remove when we didn't need it. It was wide enough for his coloring books and the lip was great for catching his little cars. He liked running them into the walls! The only downside is a lack of cup holder, but we found it easy enough to keep his drink on my tray. The side pockets were useful for holding our mp3 player and markers in flight. I look forward to trying it on our next big car trip.
My son loves this!

This is a great product. My two year loves using this to color and do other activities while we travel. We use it in the car and on airplanes. It could be a little sturdier, but it hasn't bothered him at all. Sometimes it bends in the middle when he is putting pressure on it. It does fold quite well. It is still a bit bulky, but I am able to get it into the diaper bag.
Worked well for 18-month old

I purchased this for a plane trip in which my 18-month old son was going to be in his carseat in an extra seat on the plane. I knew he wouldn't be able to use the tray table in the plane, and this travel tray worked well as a substitute. It is very lightweight so it travels easily, and the high rim around the edge prevented my sons toys, snacks, and cups from falling on the floor. He really enjoyed having his own table to use and it made snacktime much less messy than it would have been without the tray.
br /
br /The only problem I had with it was that it doesn't have any way of remaining horizontal since it just rests on your child's legs, so it slopes down towards their feet. The tall rim still prevents things from falling off though, so it worked out ok. It's not perfect but it's the best option I found for our trip.
Loved it!

I wish I'd found this sooner! I have Britax Roundabout and I put the strap around the whole careseat versus just my 1 1/2 yr. old son. He has breakfast on the way to work and snacks throughout the day. He's also able to color and just have things to do instead of just sitting there. The only negitive I have about the tray is it lays directly on his lap the fact that I have it around the entire carseat helps that problem. But YES you should totally buy this!!
A little floppy, but easy to attach and has nice edges.

I have had a toddler travel tray before that I really disliked because it had no edges (so toys and food slid off when you turned) and it was hard (and therefore dangerous in a car accident). This one is soft and collapsible in case of collision, and has a generous lip so that nothing can slide off. It is easy to attach--you slip the strap behind the car seat. The tray attaches on both sides to the strap, so you can detach one side and leave it hanging to the side, or detach both sides to remove the tray completely, while leaving the strap in place so it's easy to reattach. My only complaint is that it is too soft for doing anything that requires a flat, firm surface (such as coloring). Works great for most toys and for most snacks.

Looks like this will serve our purpose well. Works on the booster seat and the car seat. I tried it in the car with the kids and it fits right up to them and will give them and nice lap table with edges. I like that it is soft, but still firm enough for them to color. The edges will be great at keeping roll away objects within reach and off the floor while we are on a long road trip. It's easy to put around them and adjusts to fit all different sizes of children.

I've decided that if I never use this item again it was well worth the money. My boys are a little older I think than the average user at 4 6 almost 5 7 and they loved having everything at their fingertips. Both Boys being into cars it made a very good highway and racetrack. Coloring was great , crayons stayed in the tray and easy to get when in one of the four pockets. We did not have the number of dropped, crayons, cars, foods as we did in previous trips which makes it that much more enjoyable for mom. It is very easy to adjust and install . Just put strap around the back of a child strapped into their car-seat. They are soft and flexible so they had no problems falling asleep with this on their laps in fact it was great at holding the additional stuffed animals they just had to have. In all was well worth the money, for snack or play it definitely met all of my expectations.

I purchased this for my 18 month old for an 8 hour road trip... it worked well he loved it and was comfotrable with it attached the entire time. He colored on it, ate on it...just about everything. The only thing I would mention is that the surface area could be little easier to wipe (hard to scrub things off of it while on the road)
Works very well

I bought two of these for my almost three year old daughter and my five year old son. While these trays are flexible, they still made great surfaces for Legos, coloring books, and Littlest Pet Shop sets. The flexibility actually makes it easier to store the trays.

This is a great product that my little one was very happy with! The bumpers on the sides do not allow toys or food to fall easily. The only improvement suggestion would be to make the table more sturdy it's a plastic foam and buckels making it difficult to color on.

This product once installed worked great for toys and books the strap is a little difficult to get through the car seat, but what isn't. My son likes it for short trips,but any log trips he wants it off. Taking my child out was fairly easy I just unhook the belt then his car seat belt and go it does become a little cumbersome when left this way,but not a big deal.
br /I would not recommend this for drinks or food remember this is a tray in there lap so what you put in it will most likely be in there lap or in the car it is sturdy once attached and on lap it it when you take it off it is not.

I searched through a few different travel tray reviews and finally chose this one to purchase. I love it! We travel in the car several times a month and this is perfect. It is soft, yet sturdy enough for snacks, driving cars, etc. It is easy to clean and easy to remove. The pockets are a little bit of a tight fit but that's about the only thing we didn't like!!

The tray is a bit soft for writing but that is easily remedied by using a writing pad or putting a book under the paper. It is a minor trade off for a tray that is safer in the event of an accident. My kids used it for drawing, playing w/ toy cars, and eating. The pockets on the sides are great for markers, etc. The tray doesn't fit close to the body on either of my kids' car seats but it didn't seem to bother them too much. I put a folded towel under one of them to help keep it level. It isn't perfect but it works well considering it is a safer option than a rigid tray.
Excellent Product for my 3-year-old son!

This is one of the best products I have purchased for my grandson. My daughter read up on it and chose it as being the safest and easiest to use in her car. She drives with her son alot and I was concerned that he needed to keep his mind busy while in the car. This is the "perfect tray" for that purpose. He can "read" his books and color or play with his cars, etc. I am so glad that I bought it for them.

I was a little wary about purchasing this based on some of the negative reviews, but went ahead and ordered it anyway. I am so glad I did! My daughter loves having the tray, and it fits perfectly on her car seat (we have a Britax Boulevard). I bought it with the intention of using it when we travel for vacations, but I think I may just leave it on all the time, as she enjoyed pulling books and toys out of the side pockets, and keeping her cheerios on top of the tray. Great invention!

We purchased the travel tray for our 12 hour trip to Destin FL. We knew it would be a long trip for our 2 yr. old so we wanted to take lots of things to entertain him (coloring books, toys, etc.) He enjoyed having the travel tray, it gave him a good surface to color on, but it also gave him a place to drive his trucks. The surface is large enough to open a coloring book and still have a place for crayons. The pockets on the side allowed him to have his trucks close by and his cup all while coloring. I would highly recommend this for any trip with a toddler.

This tray is great for long flights or car trips. The edge prevents toys from falling off (no more "uh-ohs" from the backseat) and it is easy to fold up and store in your carry-on. There is one simple belt that fastens around your child's body, so it is easy to take the tray on/off as needed. There is no raised edge on the front side of the tray (near child's stomach), so toys can and do still fall onto the child's lap, but that wasn't too much of a problem for us. The area of the tray is generous. Our two year old couldn't even reach the far edge, but soon learned she could lift her feet and tilt the tray towards herself to retrieve a toy that had rolled out of her reach. We originally purchased the tray for a long flight, but now keep it in the car for use on roadtrips. We LOVE this tray!

We purchased this for a 12 hour drive with our 3yo son. It came yesterday and I had errands to run so we tried it out and he LOVED it! I put the strap throught the back part of our booster seat where the seatbelt goes. Then I just unclip one side to get him in and out and it's perfect. It fit's inside the armrests of his chair so if things do fall back into his chair, he can reach them. He loved it so much tha the made us take it in the house and he sat on the couch and laid it on his lap to play with cars!! Very sturdy considering the materials. Lightweight and easy to maneuver. Overall a really great product. It's not as large as I thought it'd be but it really can't be either. Over all, super super happy and very confident that this will help make our drive a little easier!
