This brightly colored, easily wiped "desk" holds all your child's art supplies - such as pens, crayons, and paper in one convenient place.

What we love:
1) colors (bright)
2) handles (goes easily from car to restaurant)
3) pockets (stores easily and neatly)
4) wipes easily (remember those biter books your toddler had as a baby?)

What we don't love:
1) not too sturdy (e.g. you can't eat on it) which may give some problems to kids in certain large car seats (where it won't rest on their laps but on the sides instead)
2) price - it's fluctuating, but is seems like it should be priced around twelve macaroons for the basic quality (may not be durable for years)
3) gets bulky if kids pack it unevenly

Overall - I would easily recommend this. Additionally, it makes a great present packaged with some basics. We love using it with these: Go Paint Basics Set, Twistables Erasable Colored Pencils, 12 Assorted Colors/pack, Rainbow Wikki Set 24pc in 6 Colors!, and of course Color Wonder Deluxe Set.

I was very pleased with this product and my 5-year grandson loves it! It's colorful, lightweight,easily cleaned and easy for him to carry wherever he goes. He uses it all the time, whether at home or on-the-go. The side pockets are convenient and great for storing his art supplies, small books, or toys. It's helpful in providing a way to keep him occupied during long road trips. Great product that I recommend for any aspiring young artist between the ages of 3 to 6 years.

Kids love the pockets to keep their pens in. Desk top could be a little sturdier, can see it giving in before long. Kids enjoy using it in the car to draw on though and again, the pockets are great to keep their stuff from getting lost.

We bought this little travel desk for our toddler to use on road trips. We just used it this past weekend on a 9+ hour road trip. He used it for several hours without any problems. I actually printed out individual coloring pages and activity sheets rather than using a pad of paper. The surface was hard enough for him to color but not too uncomfortable. It also has 2 zippered pockets on the sides to store spare crayons/pencils. He wasn't able to unzipper the pockets so that was the only drawback for a toddler. Older kids shouldn't have a problem with the zippers.

I recently purchased this and was surprised after reading all the great reviews how flimsy and cheap looking this is. It is a handy little desk and lightweight which is great, but it is not sturdy at all. I'm also disappointed that the desk top is simply cardboard covered with a nylon material. This makes the writing area textured, so you will not want a single sheet of paper on the desk...think of writing on paper laying over a textured table cloth. That can be frustrating, especially when using a pencil, or for a child learning to write letters. A wide-tipped marker would do best.

We bought this for long car trips. It works great. It has 2 pockets on the sides to hold crayons, pencils and even a small notebook. My daughter loves it. The top could be a little sturdier, but overall I would rate it a 5 (or at least a 4.5)

I purchased this as a gift for a friend's daughter. She liked it so much that I knew, when the time came, I would purchase it for my own son. It is small enough that it doesn't slide off his lap in the car when he is drawing or reading. The zipper pockets on either side keep his crayons in one place and within easy reach whenever he needs them. I would recommend this to anyone.

We took this on vacation and it was great for use in the carseat. It fit on her lap very well. She also liked the side pockets.

I purchased this for a gift for Christmas. When it arrived, it was only a piece of cardboard. I was unable to give it as a gift and had to purchase a different one. It is not durable and would not hold up to the everyday use of a child.

I purchased this for my grandson to use in the car as we were taking him on vacation. He really enjoyed using it but in a few days the strap pulled out from the pillow part of the desk.
