FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You've got questions, we've got answers.
-
The Stupid Car Tray is a mini-table with two legs on one end, that will level the seat next to you and add small storage and non-slip features. It can also be used as a lap table for passengers.
You simply place the Stupid Car Tray on the seat (legs towards the back). You can also install straps that will both secure the tray to the seat via the seatbelt, and secure items to the top of the tray.

Set the tray on the passenger seat so your food sits level instead of tilting on a bucket seat, and run the two cargo straps over the container or bag so it can't tip. Afterward, wipe it down with a household cleaner and a microfiber cloth — hand wash only, no dishwasher.
-
No. The Stupid Car Tray sits on the passenger seat or a rear seat and anchors to the seat, so it never touches the steering wheel or airbag area — and you don't have to take it down before driving off.
-
Yes. The Quick-Release Seat Anchor slides between the seat cushion and the seat back and holds the tray in place, so it can stay installed while you drive.
-
It's built for people getting in and out all day: the tray stays anchored between stops, gives you a level place to eat or set your phone, and the cargo straps hold a delivery bag steady through turns.
-
It anchors to a rear seat the same way it does the front, giving kids a flat surface for snacks, coloring or a tablet that doesn't slide during turns.
-
It fits any vehicle seat — car, SUV, truck or van — where the seat anchor can slide between the seat cushion and the seat back. We haven't tested it in semi cabs, so we don't claim that fit.
-
Yes — the surface is 17.5" long by 12" wide, which holds a 13-inch laptop flat. The optional adhesive-backed silicone grip mat adds a fully grippy surface so it doesn't slide.
-
It's sold on stupidtech.com and Amazon in several bundle levels, from the tray on its own up to full setups with the grip mat, cup and mug holders and more — check the current price on stupidtech.com or Amazon.
