Snack & Play Travel Tray

I never understood how toy manufacturers expect kids to color in the car.  You see the coloring books with crayons marketed for car travel with a flat tray and you just know the person who invented doesn't have kids.  I mean crayons roll off, the kid screams, the mom has to make split second decision, worth pulling over to pick up the crayons?  Or let him/her scream for the rest of the drive?  The Snack & Travel Tray is the first one I've seen with a guard around the tray.  This is a brilliant way to keep toddlers busy when traveling in the car, in a stroller or on a plane.  I can't count how many times I've had to pull over to pick up a toy for my son to prevent a meltdown (just the other day he dropped a Transformer by accident and I knew we had a 45 minute drive ahead of us so I pulled over to get it for him-- you choose your battles!)  The Snack & Play Travel Tray has a safe area that keeps toys and food from falling plus large pockets to keep your tot organized.  Way better than having DVD players in the car unless it's like an all day road trip.  Star Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray at Amazon.com $19.99
