I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the DriveTray! As someone who frequents drive-thrus, enjoys road trips, and loves the nostalgia of drive-in movie theaters, this versatile plastic car table and food tray has been a game changer for me. The quality of the product is excellent. The wooden tray is sturdy and well-built, with a smooth surface that is easy to clean. The base stand is solid and offers great support, making the tray feel secure and stable when in use. The extendable car cup holder is a fantastic feature. It accommodates various drink sizes and ensures that your beverage is secure and easily accessible. The tray is incredibly versatile. Whether you're a taxi, RV, or truck driver, this tray is perfect for on-the-go meals or taking a break with a snack. It's also fantastic for drive-in movie theater enthusiasts! My friends and I had a blast using it during our last movie outing—the tray provided the perfect surface for our snacks and drinks, allowing us to enjoy the experience without worrying about spills. The DriveTray is also a great companion for camping and road trips. The base stand can be easily detached, turning the tray into a portable table for outdoor use. Overall, I highly recommend the DriveTray to anyone who spends a considerable amount of time in their vehicle or enjoys outdoor activities. It's a well-designed, high-quality product that has truly enhanced my driving and leisure experiences.
I have this installed in my minivan behind the driver's seat for my son who sits on a car seat. It serves the purpose but it is not sturdy. When you're not using it and have it folded up, it moves around a lot. I wish that it was more sturdy when stowed away. I probably wouldn't buy it or recommend it.
I think it's safe to say that this is primarily a front seat accessory for the car, but it does help in the back seat as additional storage—especially if you don't have a back seat cupholder. For the driver, this tray does slot in nicely between the driver's seat and center console/tunnel in the car. In this position, storage for your phone, notepad, etc., is available, as well as a cable passthrough and drink holder. Overall, a great product for the money, especially if you spend time in the car working, reading, eating, etc.—any activity that might require a flat surface.
Got these for the kids for a recent road trip and was very disappointed. I had to completely loosen the thumbscrews to be able to change them from the stowed to usable position. They fall out almost immediately when you get them as loose as they need to be, but then on top of that it's almost impossible to get them back in. Even with the thumbscrews out, though, it was very hard to move the trays back to the stowed position; the support arm on the underside of them felt almost stuck on both units we got. This sucked for the kids because they needed to reach by their feet to get snacks and activities, and they couldn't do it on their own which frustrated them. The design of the trays themselves isn't great either. When we did have them set up as intended we found that not even our kiddie-sized cups would fit in the "cupholder," and it wasn't deep enough to be used for any other purpose like keeping crayons from rolling away. When we finally gave up on using them I tried to fold them up again and found it almost impossible, even with the thumbscrews totally out. The plastic trays are so thin and cheap-feeling I was sure I would break them, so I just pulled them out entirely in the (probably misguided) hope that I would find a way to make these usable myself at some point. As-is, though, it's just not a useful or well-made product.
