Description
This car seat tray comes as a pair: two waterproof nylon trays, 40 x 34 x 26cm, with raised sides, breathable mesh side pockets and an adjustable back strap, for $37.99. Both children get one, which is the whole reason people buy two.
Anyone who has driven Sydney to Byron, or Melbourne to the Grampians, knows the pattern. An hour in, the snacks go on the seat. Two hours in, the colouring book slides into the footwell and cannot be reached. Three hours in, someone spills a drink and you are pulling over. A tray with raised sides and a strap that holds it against the child turns the back seat into a surface instead of a slope, and the second tray stops the argument about who has it.

Why Two Trays Beat One
-
One each - two children, two trays, and the road trip argument you were dreading does not happen.
-
Raised sides - the reason things stay on the tray instead of going into the footwell every time the car corners.
-
Waterproof surface - drinks and snacks are the point of a tray, so the surface is built for the spill rather than ruined by it.
-
Adjustable back strap - the tray is secured to the child rather than balanced on their lap, so it does not slide off when they move.
-
Folds flat - lives in a seat pocket or the boot between trips instead of taking up a seat.
How Does the Tray Attach to a Car Seat?
The tray attaches easily to a car seat and is held in place by an adjustable back strap that goes around the child, with a contoured front edge that sits snugly at the waist. The strap is what keeps it steady, which is why it works while the car is moving and a lap tray does not.
Can Kids Eat and Draw on the Same Tray?
Yes, and that flexibility is the point. The flat surface takes colouring books, travel games and puzzles, the mesh side pockets carry snacks and drinks, and the raised sides keep pencils from rolling off. Plenty of parents also use it as a laptop or tablet rest for an older child.
Is the Tray Easy to Clean After a Spill?
The nylon surface is waterproof and designed to be wiped clean, which is what separates it from a fabric organiser. Deal with a spill at the next stop rather than letting it sit, and the tray will look the same at the end of the holiday as it did at the start.
Who Buys These
Families driving long distances over school holidays, parents doing regular interstate trips to see grandparents, and anyone who has done a five hour drive with a bored four year old and decided never again. They are also popular with grandparents who do a lot of driving with grandchildren, and with families who camp and want a surface the kids can use at the site as well as in the car.
Pair It With
A tray is one part of surviving a long drive. Our Automotive range has the sun shades, organisers and mirrors that go in the same car, Kid's Supplies covers the colouring and activity gear that goes on the tray, and Camping & Outdoor is worth a look if the drive ends at a campsite.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many trays do I get?
Two, so you are covered for two children.
What size is each tray?
Approximately 40 x 34 x 26cm.
Does the tray stand up on its own?
No. The trays do not stand unsupported, and product photos showing them upright are staged for display. In use the back strap holds the tray in position.
What is it made of?
Nylon with a soft foam backing, chosen so it is firm enough to write on and soft against the child.
Will it fit any car seat?
It attaches easily to a car seat using the adjustable back strap, which is what accommodates different seats and different sized children.
Can it hold a tablet?
Many parents use it as a laptop or tablet rest. Keep the device secure and never leave a loose object unsecured in a moving vehicle.
How does it store?
It folds flat, so it fits in a seat pocket or the boot between trips.
Fast Australian Shipping
We dispatch from Australia, so these trays reach Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin quickly, and we post to regional and remote addresses as well. Orders placed on a business day are picked the same day wherever stock allows, which matters when the school holidays start on Friday.
Product photography is indicative and some images are staged for display. Colours may vary slightly between screens and the item in hand, and hand measured dimensions carry a small tolerance. Never leave loose objects unsecured in a moving vehicle.
