This travel companion saves time, money, hassle, and promotes a child’s independence. The concept is simple. The child packs what he or she wishes to take along for their trip. My Lap Box fits securely around the child’s waist (when seated) and prevents items from falling while keeping everything within child’s reach. No need for the parent to keep picking up items. Any potential mess is contained within My Lap Box by simply placing the lid back on top until it can be cleaned up at the parent’s convenience.
