I wish we had this when we were moving cross country. I had two toddlers that needed to be entertained 6-8 hours a day in our van, and this would have been a great tool. It allows the kids to play on their lap, draw and have markers/pens at their finger tips, gives a solid surface to snack and eat on without spilling all over their lap. My son especially loves it and wears it around the house. I'm glad we'll have it for the next road trip. The only iss I had was I have two kids and they caught over this tray the minute the saw the box. Now I'll probably have to get a second one.
