Benefits of technology

[0008]The present disclosure is directed to a content delivery system employing a portable table-top tray and multiple activity components. The tray is designed to integrate with car seats, strollers and high chairs, as well as a stand-alone work station in the form of a lap top device or supported over a user's lap with a stand or legs. The tray is designed to hold one or more interchangeable modular activity inserts filled with age-appropriate education, art and entertainment kits, mess-free and slip-free food containers, packaged foods, or an electronic tablet loaded movies, apps, and games, allowing parents to keep moving while their children's needs are being met at the highest level.

Problems solved by technology

Others feel they are often unsafe while driving as they are distracted from the road and trying to address children's demands at same time.

Children are also exposed to the dangers of projectiles impacting them in an auto environment.

Yet others experience guilt feels over the amount of time their children are forced to spend traveling in vehicles.

A substantial number of parents and care givers find it difficult to meet a child's needs in the car.

The on-the-road and travel environment makes it very challenging to provide both nutritious and enriching activities and to help children with a psychological sense of belonging.

Although there have been many attempts to reduce the stress and preparation necessary to travel with children, these solutions have all failed to engage children of a variety of ages for a variety of activities.

However, they provide few, if any, accessories or activities with limited flexibility.
