General Tray Information – TRAIN

Multi-Use Craft Tray – This is a kid’s Craft Tray that we feel is perfect for art and other projects on the go.  It works OK on a lap, but suggest that it is used to supplement whatever other type of ‘main’ tray you choose, on a train, this fits atop SOME train trays, and the craft tray also works well on the tables in an Amtak café car.  If traveling on a train INTERNATIONALLY (Eurail etc.), we suggest checking with the website for any specific info you can find before purchasing.

NOTE:  check with the train about the size of the tray, some Coach seat’s trays are small even for the Multi-Use craft tray, while other Coach cars have trays larger than airline trays and measure approx 11” x 18”
ALSO NOTE:  there are no TRAY manufacturers that recommend a tray for under 9 months and/or any child that is NOT sitting up on his/her own, thus, you will not find any recommendations here for under 9 months

Best for youngest kids 9 months (or sitting up, whichever is older) to 4 years or more
  • Taby Tray (can strap around child for stability)
  • Star Kids Tray (can strap around child for stability)
  • For those over 3, with each of the above (or for use on the train's tray), a Multi-Use Craft Tray can help organize crafts and other travel activities

Best for those 3 and 5 years

  • Star Kids Tray (can fasten strap around child, this will fold to make it easier to carry-on)
  • Alex Lap Desk (easy size to travel with, fits in child backpack)
  • Three Cheers Lap Desk (removable pillow and has a handle for easy take-along)
  • Multi-Use Craft Tray
  • Taby Tray (can fasten strap around child, but this is large & rigid and not so easy to carry-on, strap can be used as a shoulder strap, however, and on a train, stowing overhead is easier than on a plane)

Best for older kids (see each lap desk for each product’s features) 4 years and up

  • Alex Lap Desk
  • Three Cheers Lap Desk
  • Multi-Use Craft Tray
  • Room It Up Lap Desk (this is a great size, but a bit more difficult to carry-on, however, as with the Taby Tray, it is easier to stow overhead than on a plane)

Best for adults 

  • Three Cheers Lap Desk
  • Room It Up Lap Desk
PLEASE NOTE:  we no longer carry the Dream Desk Lap Tray (discontinued), the Creativity Kit Lap Tray (discontinued) or the Jumbo Lap Desk, as the Three Cheers & Room It Up Trays are more appropriate for kids
