Great Laptop Desk
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)

Convenient, portable, fun - woo hoo!
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.

Desk to Go is the way to go!
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.

Great for travel
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.

Great little travel desk
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.
