Parents Get a (Spring) Break from Star Kids

Denver, CO – Parents of the world are receiving a much-needed (Spring) break this year, as Star Kids Products has released its Snack & Play Travel Tray, an affordable, portable, and lightweight mini-table that allows for easy entertainment for infants and toddlers on the go.

The Snack & Play Travel Tray (MSRP $20) was created by a Mom for Moms. Alyson Probst, President of Star Kids Products and creator of the Snack & Play Travel Tray, said, “Especially as families like to get away for a well-deserved retreat this Spring, or plan a Summer vacation, the Snack & Play makes the traveling part of the trip a much more enjoyable experience for everyone.”

Sitting in a car or on a plane for an extended length of time, can make anyone fidgety. The Snack & Play Travel Tray solves the problem for keeping children busy and entertained. “E very parent knows the frustration of trying to keep their child happy, occupied and entertained and even the best intentions can result in a child repeatedly dropping items, a toy rolling out of reach, or messy food spilling in any direction. The Snack & Play eliminates all of that inconvenience, disruption, and stress. It keeps everyone happy,” Probst said.

The product is a universal fit for use with any child seat, car seat, booster or stroller to provide a safe, flat, bordered surface for a child to play and eat. Covered by an easy-to-clean, wipe-off fabric, the Snack & Play is hard enough for coloring and rolling cars, but soft enough to be safe and comfortable for the child. It also comes complete with attached mesh, elastic side pockets so that additional snacks and toys are stored within easy reach for the child.

Since its introduction, the Snack & Play Travel Tray has met with immediate accolades and awards for its innovation and problem solution need. Probst is the winner of The Whirlpool Brand Mother of Invention Grant for her concept. .Today, The Snack & Play is manufactured in accordance with European standards, the strictest regulations in the world; it has been crashed tested by a federally recognized testing facility; and it is certified lead-free and phthalate-free.
