Star Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray Review.
"These are great trays!!!!" 2007-07-03
By Mommy of Twins (Plano, TX)
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!

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.
"Great for snacks on the go!" 2007-06-03

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!

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!
"Excellent for airplane travel" 2007-07-12
By J. Hoadley (Santa Barbara, CA USA)
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!
