“We just used our Laplanders on a cross country trip. I was driving my in-laws to see a relative. Because of their age and COVID, we were very cautious about making stops along the way. So we packed food to take with us instead of risking stops at restaurants. The Laplander was wonderful not just for eating in the car but also for making sandwiches.

The other thing I appreciate is that they fit in the pocket on the backside of the seats (more convenient than other lap trays or other pillows). ”
