Star Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray

The road trip to grandma's house can get boring. Sometimes the DVDs and electronic devices are too stimulating. Believe it or not, the latest rage for calming adults is colouring. Experts say it offers them a chance to escape the whirling of worry in their heads and reduce stress and anxiety. Maybe junior needs to unplug, too. A fresh pack of crayons and a new colouring book could be what the trip needs.

To give junior a solid surface to spread out the book and crayons, try the Star Kids Snack & Play Travel Tray. The side pockets hold snacks, juice boxes, toys and crayons. The tabletop sits on the arm rests of the car seat and buckles around the back of the seat to keep it secure. Toys, crayons and crafts stay contained by the padded rim. The fabric is washable in case your budding Picasso goes wild with the paint. The newer version, available through snackandplaytraveltray.com, has an electronics safe magnetic dry-erase surface. It will be in Canada soon.

And when junior falls asleep, it's your chance. Move the table to your lap to start your own mother-in-law stress release.
