First off EVERY FOOD DELIVERY DRIVER needs this item. I have used my front seat more in the last week than I have in 3 years of driving. The tray itself with the mat and Velcro straps are Awesome. Here is my reasoning for 4 Stars. About 3 things if added would have made 5 stars for sure.
1. The legs were too short for the incline in my seat. I had to add about 2 inches for the tray to be level. ( used a thick one inch cardboard doubled) If you guys could create some type of 2 inche adapters to place onto the existing feet and offer them separately or. with the ultimate package that would be great. I have photos if you would too see.
2. Offer the choice to customers on drink holders in your Ultimate set. I didn’t need the coffee cup holder in my line of work 2 cup holders is what I would prefer. ( bought one 👍)
3. The drink holders are great for huge drinks like Route 44’s from Sonic, but for regular size drinks they flop around. My suggestion is offer a foam insert to go inside the drink holder. They do make them a hole already where the small end of the cup can fit in, it can be removable.
I really like my tray and what I suggested I’m already implementing. Feel free to contact me so I can send photos of my modifications.

This is sooo dang handy. I bought it for my pink 1965 VW Beetle. It fits perfect and I have storage space and a cup holder now. I’m thinking about getting one for my hubbys 1931 Ford Model A car too. No cup holders or storage in there either!
J
Perfect for my small SUV Honda hrv

Fast delivery got me set up for 1000 mile round trip. The tray installed easily and held my water bottle and big gulp soft drink reliably. I used the trays for gum and sunglasses as well.
S
Super fast shipping, great quality, seriously day-to-day life changing product! Highly recommend! Not stupid at all hahaha

Already having two for our newer cars, this one is perfect for older cars without drink/cup holders.

I was skeptical when I saw the ad for this product on social media. After some research, I decided to give it a shot. Best purchase I’ve made in a while! I work in recruitment, so I spend a fair amount of time on the road and working from the car. This has made it so much easier to do so.
Solid construction with quality materials. Definitely get the bundle which includes the two drink holders, cargo straps, and grip mat. The quick release seat anchor also works perfectly. I used the tray to bring home my daughter’s birthday cake a few days ago with full confidence.
Customers service seems great too. I highly recommend this product!

The stupid car tray has made me feel so much better about making deliveries for my business. I was even able to easily uninstall and reinstall in my co-owner's car when he had to make a delivery. I love it!!

Whether it's keeping my work supplies and multiple drink options organized or safely transporting half a dozen drinks to the lake this Stupid Car Tray and extra cup/mug holders has been amazing!
A
Love the tray and the cup holders - they work great and are the perfect size for the thicker insulated cups that don't fit the cars cup holders.
J
One of those things you never knew you needed. Instead of looking like a jumbled mess and having to fumble aimlessly, all my road snacks and driving accessories are neatly organized and readily at hand. Bonus: the large cupholder is perfect for a pint of ice cream.

Bought 2 !! With cup holders...
Love em !
So much more organized and the cup holders work for ALL size mugs/cups.
Very happy with purchase of a quality product and very responsive and caring company.
Thank you,
Bill

So much easier and tidier than just throwing stuff or food on my seat. :)

It's a nice way to add a flat surface for placing objects (like pizzas) that you want to keep level. The only addition I can think of are removable walls to keep objects (like cellphones) from sliding off on Mannix type turns... I've just been dated...damn... 😁. The grip pad does help in this scenario, I concede. Anyway, just putting it out there.

I was hopeful when I bought this and it has lived up to its marketing promises! I’ve used it for cake and supplies and everything stayed flat and the Velcro strap works! Thank you!
S
I loved mine so much, I bought one for my sister! These are the best. They keep food and drinks level in your car. I'm already getting ready to order a couple more for gifts because everyone who sees mine wants to know where to get one!

Works great! Love it!
A
Love this tray I drive an older model car and the cup holders have broke so this is perfect for my drinks and holding my phone also perfect for when I take home food or work as a delivery driver to hold things in place

I’m a pharma sales rep for a living and have to often transport coffee, drinks, snacks, etc to my offices and the stupid car tray has been amazing for me! As someone who says their car is their “office” because I basically live in my car this gives me the opportunity to have a safe place to extras. I talked my coworker into one after her story of her car smelling like crème brûlée coffee because hers spilled all over on the way to an office. I’m telling everyone about it!

My tray is everything and more! I have used it so much!! I had to send out about it on Snapchat! I love it.
Thank you so much.

I’ve found it to be extremely secure and keeps my car clean from any greasy or wet bags. The secure strap for drink trays is clutch .

Since I got my Stupid Car Tray, and since I’ve bragged about it so much, and since I’ve showcased it, and reviewed it so many times, I’ve noticed that four of my closest friends now have stupid car trays that they brag about.
This makes me happy.

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.
