Portable Playtime.

Trabasack have cleverly designed a kids travel play tray that can be used for carrying things and as a portable surface to play on. It’s made to a universal design, so it can be placed onto any baby buggy or chair which is really convenient for mums or dads on the move.

You can easily use this play tray for kids when you’re out and about. It doubles as a nappy bag, or as a bag for toys, or both. All you have to do is unload the contents, set it up and you have your very own play surface and all the materials you need to hand.

Designed to keep toys all in one place.

Tray and bag in one, unique!

Long waits in doctors surgeries, at bus stops or at airports can be hard work for children. If they have nothing to occupy them you may be on a one way trip to Stropsville. To avoid this, you might want to pack a kids play tray with crayons, a piece of paper, a couple of lego blocks, whatever your child likes playing with. This keeps them happy and gives you some peace and quiet too. This is where the tray comes in, they have somewhere to actually play with the toys. There’s nothing more annoying than having to constantly pick up toys that have been dropped or stop colouring books sliding off their knees all the time. The tray keeps everything in one place.

Learning and Playing on the move.

Why not make the most of these times and use the kids travel play tray to encourage them to learn? Because they have a solid surface to lean on, you could try playing spelling games, or get them to trace words or letters. If they’re more into their imaginary worlds they can arrange their toys on the tray, they don’t have to just have just one toy in each hand. With a kids tray to play on they have loads more room.

Long journeys can be a nightmare at the best of times, if you have a play tray for kids they can keep themselves busy and even play board games whilst travelling. This is something that is almost impossible without a firm surface to play on. The kids travel play tray is excellent for scrabble or card games which help to improve vocabulary and turn taking skills.

Carrying and keeping your Kids Play Tray in good condition.

Kids have a habit of being messy, so Trabasack have made sure that this bag can be thrown into the washing machine at 30 degrees and thoroughly cleaned. If you prefer you could even buy a non-slip PVC mat which keeps your kids play tray cleaner for longer. Sticky fingers are not a problem!

This bag can be strapped to the back of a buggy or stroller, slung over your shoulder or even worn as a backpack. The design is made with you in mind as well as your child’s need for a space to play. All materials used in the bag are lightweight so that doesn’t add to the overall strain on you if you’re carrying it around. They look stylish and smart and you can even choose a colour that’s right for you too. The bean bag underneath the tray means that it’s comfortable for your child as well.

Using a Trabasack as a lap pad

Finding a lap pad for kids that isn’t too heavy or large can be difficult. Many products out there are designed for adults not children. What’s more, many children’s products are designed solely to be clipped to buggies or high chairs. Trabasack products are different, they are extremely versatile and can be used in a range of different ways. Yes, you can affix your Trabasack to your buggy or car seat. Yes, you can use it as a food tray when out and about but you can also use it as a simple lap pad for kids at home and whilst out and about.

What can you do with a lap pad?

There are many activities your child can carry out from their own lap pad. The Trabasack lap pad for kids is lightweight and puts no pressure on their lap, whatever age they are, meaning very young children can enjoy them as well as older ones. They’re great as a makeshift crafts table, for accessing multimedia devices and brilliant for keeping kids occupied on long journeys by train, car or bus. These photos demonstrate a couple of young Trabasaxons using their lap pads.

Why choose Trabasack?

We’ve said it already but Trabasack lap pads are universal products. They aren’t restrictive and offer many functions making them multi-purpose and great for many uses. They’re also machine washable and can be topped with a non-slip mat, meaning you can enjoy messy play without worrying about damaging the product in any way. Multiple carry options also mean if you’re out and about you can slip them onto your back, over the handles of your buggy or carry like briefcase or messenger bag.

What Mums Say

Mums already using the Trabasack lap pad for kids could not be happier.

F Says: “[My daughter] is able to sit on the floor with the beanbag underside moulding to her legs, and keep all her crayons within reach. It’s a firm favourite and gets pinched off me whenever I try to use it.”

Explore the Toy Holder Options with the Trabasack Range

Trabasack Curve Connect holding baby toys

One of the best features of the Trabasack Buggy Tray is that it can securely hold items on its tray surface to ensure they don’t get lost (or thrown in some cases). There are two main ways you can attach toys to your Trabasack buggy tray and using the tray as a toy holder is great for distracting younger children, especially when utilising the tray in the car, out and about on public transport or whilst shopping. The two options available are by using the innovative Connect surface which you can opt for when purchasing your Trabasack and also utilising the brand new Trabasack Media Mount in conjunction with this Connect feature.

Connect Surface

The Trabasack Connect Surface is a unique soft covering for your buggy tray that utilises hook and loop technology, meaning it is Velcro receptive. Although it may not sound secure, the Connect surface means you can safely stick any item to the tray top without difficulty using Trabasack Hook Tape or Velcro dots, which means that items, such as favourite toys or even food containers can be safely secured so they can be accessed and played with, but not thrown over the edge. One customer even told us “I’ve even got a plastic lunch box that I’ve stuck velcro dots to” so their child always has access to their food and snacks whilst out and about whilst another told us ‘We put velcro on her DS, DVD player and iPod to keep them from sliding around’ and it is a big hit, allowing any item to be secured for children to use and play with.

Media Mount

The Trabasack Media Mount is a further development, making it possible to mount and secure an ever larger range of items to the buggy tray top. The Media Mount is equipped with Velcro to one side which means it can be secured to the tray and then you can use it to create a boundary to keep toys in the right place or wrap it around single items to ensure they’re secured. The Mount is an extremely versatile development and is especially useful for toys which come with hooks themselves, such as those designed to be hung from pram bars and car seat handles. You can simply slip the hooked piece of the toy over the Media Mount, secure it on the buggy tray and then the toy is easily accessible.

Having an easy to access and easy to set up toy holder is something you’ll soon realise is something you simply can’t live without as you can get along with your daily business without having to worry about your little one’s favourite teddy being catapulted across the supermarket floor or juice bottles ended up under the buggy wheels.

You want something that will withstand knocks and bumps, be supportive of the device and also relatively easy and carry for a child. Kids iPad bags need to provide support, comfort and obviously need to look good. There are many options on the market but the most suitable for most children is definitely from the Trabasack product range.

You want an iPad bag which is ideal for use by young children, with smaller hands and this is why Trabasack is a great option.

Trabasack Kids iPad Bags

Use your Trabasack Travel Tray to Keep Kids Busy

A Trabasack snack and play travel tray

A Trabasack kids travel tray kit is a fantastic way to keep the kids occupied. It should not be underestimated how taxing travelling with kids can be. A travel tray kit can ensure further safety as you’ll not need to keep turning around. This idea is great for younger or older kids as they can keep up with their favourite activities as you travel. Best of all, you’ll not be distracted every two minutes passing over drinks, snacks and toys.

Why Trabasack?

Trabasack Travel Tray Kit for Kids

Trabasack is your best choice as a travel tray older kids or backseat travel tray organiser. It gives kids easy access to everything they need without asking to stop so they can get into their luggage or bothering you every five minutes when you need to focus on the road.

A Trabasack travel tray organizer combines both a sturdy tray top, perfect for placing toys, books and handheld consoles on and a spacious bag area. It’s this bag space that sets our product ahead of others on the market as it allows all your kids favourite things to be close at hand without needing constant passing back from you. Most kids travel tray organisers are made from hard plastics and have holes in which smaller items can be stored but they don’t combine a sturdy workable tray surface and also a bag space. With a Trabasack your child can independently access all their bits and pieces and you can drive in peace.

Trabasack products are also machine washable so when that bag of crisps bursts all over a pool of spilt cherryade, you need not worry. Even the clumsiest kids are safe with Trabasack and they come out in perfect condition after washing.

Trabasack was recently reviewed by The iMums Website who said

The Trabasack is very well made and looks like it will stand up well to use. Apart from a little fluff stuck to the tray surface, it is still in excellent condition after a few months use. All of the components are of a high quality and I especially like the strong easy to use zip pulls. It is very useful as a portable desk for using a laptop, iPad, reading or writing on. It has been designed to work well for wheelchair users and would also be useful for children in a car seat or stroller giving them a surface to eat from or play on. A well designed product highly recommended.

Travelling with your kids is rewarding in the long term, especially when you get to your location but whilst in transit, you probably wish you were anywhere else. Utilise the Trabasack travel tray and you’ll feel much more at ease with your journeys in the future.

Keep your kids entertained and amused

Universal Trabasack Buggy Tray

Finding a buggy tray which fits with your specific model can be difficult, many describe themselves as the universal buggy tray but then you find they only fit with one particular brand. Our innovative Trabasack product range is different as both our Trabasack models are universal and fit with any tray design because our products are specifically designed to suit the person not the mode of transport. In many cases, if the Trabasack doesn’t attach easily to your buggy model, which in 90% of cases it does, you can simply strap the lap tray around the child’s waist and then it’s perfectly secured without interfering with the safety of your buggy or putting any pressure on your child’s lap.

 A Practical Alternative to the Clip On Buggy Tray

An Example of a Hard Plastic Clip On Buggy Tray

One of the most popular and regularly seen types of buggy tray on the market is the clip on buggy tray, often manufactured by the same people who make the buggies themselves and therefore, an easier sale to customers buying everything at once. However, the majority of clip on buggy trays are manufactured from hard plastics, making them less comfortable for your child whilst seating in their buggy and it can be more difficult to manouvre and play around them.

Trabasack offers a practical alternative to clip on trays in the form of their soft cushioned lap tray that also combines a spacious bag compartment, where toys and snacks can be stored when not in us. Trabasacks can be easily attached and unattached from your buggy so you can safely get your child in and out and they can also be used in other ways such as a home play tray, carseat tray or even high chair tray when you’re out and about. Perfect for use with young children, the Trabasack range can also be equipped with a non-slip mat to prevent spills and is also machine washable so you can ensure it stays looking as good as ever even if you use it every single day.

We have many mums amongst our customers who have already expressed their appreciation for the product and we’re sure this will just continue as more people become aware of our multi-purpose universal buggy tray.

The perfect distraction for long journeys

Trabasack Travel Tray for Car Seat

If you are looking for a travel tray for kids car seat you will know there is a lack of strong, long lasting options available. If you’re planning a long distance trip by road or even only a couple of hours and you have young kids, you already know how taxing it can be. Keeping children occupied whilst in the back of the car while you’re driving can become near impossible and often requires lots of stops along the way. However, we believe using a Trabasack travel tray for a car seat is a unique way of ensuring your child is kept distracted, occupied, entertained and even, where necessary, well fed! After trying out yoru Trabasack travel tray just once you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

Safe and Secure – Trabasack Car Seat Travel Tray

There are many options out there which describe themselves as the perfect travel tray for kids but often, they don’t make the grade. Many of the competitors are either made from hard plastics, making it uncomfortable for your child to sit for the whole journey or have too many compartments  meaning you still need to be heavily involved in offering different activities to your child, when you should be driving.

Strong and Durable for many years of play

Trabasack will last for many, many years, it made of strong materials and will be useful to your child as they get older as a bag and lapdesk. It is hardwearing and durable and we have testimonials from people who have used them every week for several years.

The Trabasack travel tray for toddlers and even older children can be safely strapped around their waist or to the car seat, without interfering remotely with its safety and the tray surface can be topped with any items you think will be popular. What’s more the Trabasack travel tray for car journeys can be equipped with an innovative soft Connect surface, which allows for items to be securely attached to the tray top, avoiding any needless stops because somebody has dropped (or thrown) their favourite toy.

The Innovative Connect Surface

We can’t emphasise enough how we believe our Connect surface makes our product stand out from the crowd as a kids play tray. Rather than many of the competitors that appear more like a trough than a tray, our Trabasack product range has a smooth, flat tray surface which, when equipped with the Connect material, is Velcro receptive which means with a few small velcro hook tapes you can secure any item to the tray top and then access for your child is even more straightforward.

Use as a Buggy Tray once you get to your destination

Finding a good travel tray for long car journeys can become essential after you’ve tried a few times without. Keeping children occupied at the best of times is difficult and more so when they can only see the back of your head! The Trabasack Travel Tray is a great way of ensuring your kids are content and you can get to your destination in record time.
