Comments about Alex Car Valet:

Returned this item due to the flimsy quality and the frustartion it caused my 2.5 yr old daughter. Once the item is installed to the back of your seat, the "desk" part is flimsy and hard to access especially for a toddler who is safely confined to a carseat. My daughter could'nt reach the objects with the seatbelt holding her in place. For us, it came down to whats the point of this items if you cant reach it to use it during car travel? The desk part didnt lay flat-down near her legs due to the carseat angle. Maybe an older tween would get better use? I would recommend this to moms of tweens as the intention of this is a great one.

    We purchased this before we made a 3 day road trip. My 5 year old loved it. It kept him very occupied. He loved that he could open and close it himself. We drive a small sports car and this was perfect!

      Comments about Alex Car Valet:

      We took this on a week long road trip. Ranging from 7 hour to 1 hour in the car at least every other day. Our 5 year old son was able to draw, color, and do puzzles on this the entire time. It hung on the back of the front passenger seat in our Prius. He is in a booster seat and the tray barely touched his knees, but the tray was still strong enough for him to work on. He was able to close it and open it himself, and loved keeping all his things in it. He would just carry it up to the hotel room like a suitcase.

              The car valet is fantastic for quick runs to the store or multi-hour road trips. Purchased for my toddler, now a preschooler, she still uses it every time we get in the car. Be certain to purchase the twist type crayons,colored pencils, stickers, etc to fill the convenient pockets. (regular crayons will melt in warm weather creating a mess!) I have bought 2 more for gifts and am excited for others to enjoy it!

                My 5 year old daughter LOVES this! There are great compartments for holding all sorts of art supplies etc... The strap is adjustable so you can lossen or tighten depending on how high or low she wants the writing table to sit on her lap. Very entertaining for car rides!

                    I bought the car valet for our long road trips. My daughter not only likes to color but she also likes to watch videos on her portable DVD player. I thought this would be perfect to set her dvd player on to watch her videos, but unfortunately it hits her at an ackward place on her legs. She cannot use it while sitting in her carseat, so for now, it really is only used to hold her stuff in the car, but she can't use the drop down table.

                    String needs to be reinforced a little more or add additional material for support on the sides.

                    This was great for a long, hot car ride. I was concerned about crayons melting in my car as well as losing crayons, pens, colored pencils, chalk, etc during our car ride. This attached to the seat in front of my son and kept all of his art supplies close at hand. Nothing melted and nothing got lost. My son was able to find what he needed quickly and without frustration and the tray worked well for most of his artistic and writing endeavors. It is expensive, though, but for us it was worth the extra money.

                    This works good in our SUV but not the family car. The front seat is barely high enough to make the fold out sit in my child's lap and then she cannot reach the bags and attachments, etc. Not user friendly for all cars
                    Also saw essentially same design without pretty colors for cheaper in a department store. Shop around

                      We bought this for our 5 year old daughter when we were heading out on a 3,000 mile road trip. She loves to color and draw and this was a big hit-it made it very easy for her to occupy herself and keep all of her markers, etc., very handy.
                      Our one complaint is that it does not secure well to the back of the seat; it kept sliding down. So we looped some string through the handles and around the headrest and it worked great.
                      The cardboard table part is sturdy enough for her to draw, but I felt more secure that it would crumple if we had a crash.
