Kids On the Go Art Lap Desk

I bought this for our 6 and 7 yr old boys, so the size is perfect.They only use it to draw on in the car not to eat or play toys on, etc.It's a little flimsy for my taste, but from what I've read, that's supposed to be safer.Its good for them to draw on, but I suppose if you had a large book, it would serve the same purpose.But I will say that they do use it almost every time we get in the car and they can store their pencils in the pockets.

Compact design. The surface is durable enough to withstand a couple of cross-country road trips with a toddler. The side pouches are handy for holding crayons and markers. My main concern/complaint is that it is difficult to attach a page to the desktop. The elastic borders are sufficient for more advanced drawers, but a smaller child will have difficulty keeping the page affixed to the desk without it sliding around. To remedy this problem, I attached a clipboard under the elastic borders. . . but then I thought "wow, what's the point of the lap desk besides the side storage pouches?" It still works well for us as a firm desktop for long road trips. We can prop books and toys on top of it for our child to play with.

My 4 year old broke his arm just below the shoulder and had to have his entire arm wrapped to his chest for over a month. I got him this for preschool to hold his papers still so he could still color and write. The elastic corners were perfect and it worked great so he could still do things one-handed. It is also light weight so it doesn't weigh down his back pack.

I should have returned this as soon as I received it. The stitching on the Velcro loop was coming undone. There was a tearing at the seams of the crayon pockets. The manufacturing was AWFUL. In the interest of time I kept and fixed those issues so it was functional for my niece as we took off on a long rode trip, but otherwise disappointed in the shoddy quality.

These are awesome lap desks. We used two for our road trip from Ohio to Alaska, and they held up well. Three years later on our move from Alaska to Las Vegas, they still were in very good condition, and we bought a third for our now-old-enough son. The zipper pockets are perfect for crayons, markers, and colored pencils, and they work well for both car seats and boosters. Sanity saver for us!!!
