ABSTRACT:
A portable and collapsible travel tray assembly is provided for mounting in conjunction with a conventional automobile seat positioned to the front of the user of the tray and the seat of the user, particularly a child's car seat. The portable tray assembly comprises a rigid bottom panel member having front, back, and side portions. The bottom panel member is provided with a pair of opposing folding side panels which extend along the side portions of the bottom panel and above the plane of the bottom panel when in the unfolded position. The tray assembly also includes a front folding panel extending between the opposing side panels and along the front portion of the bottom panel and above the plane of said bottom panel. The folding side and front panels permit the tray to be converted from a stowed or collapsed position when the side and front panels are in the folded or stowed position to a position of use when in the unfolded position. The opposing side panels include flexible arm members which extend beyond the front portion of the bottom panel and attach to front suspension means for supporting the front portion of the tray. A back suspension means is attached to the back portion of the bottom panel whereby the front and back suspension means coact to hold the tray in level position. When so mounted the tray is particularly adapted to serve as a small travel tray for the reception of articles in a position where it is readily accessible to a child, for example, seated in a car seat.
