OnTray Review & Giveaway

**This Giveaway is now CLOSED. Congratulations to Holly Crawford!!**

When I stumbled upon this mommy-invented accessory, I knew right away that it was something I could really use. Actually, I kicked myself a bit for not thinking of it first!! OnTray is a little snack holder designed to easily snap onto a shopping cart. Your kids can munch away without worry of dropping anything while you peacefully shop.

Genius, simply genius.

There have been countless times when I have had a little one in the seat of the shopping cart, holding a small cup or baggie of treats while I busied myself down the aisles. Inevitably, I’d leave a crumb trail behind, as the kids somehow always spilled their cup and lost their snack to the floor. OnTray, where have you been all my life?

It is also handy for those mad couponing days. OnTray is totally awesome for holding coupons, a calculator, and a shopping list (you couponers know what I’m talking about!).

Normally, my couponing trip looks something like this…

It’s Triple Coupon Week at my local grocer. I have an envelope full of coupons. As I find my products, I separate the coupons I’ll be using from those I couldn’t use, usually placing them in the seat of the shopping cart. As I slow poke along, making sure not to miss anything, Ms. Speedy Gonzales Couponer (who is obviously after the same things I am, and is cleaning off the shelves before I can get to them) rushes by and my coupons are caught up in the gust of wind she has generated. I’m left in her dust, picking all of my coupons up off the floor.

With OnTray, I am able to cunningly thwart my couponing opponent’s plan to slow me down, as this handy little tray also has a lid that so nicely slides into place. Ha! No more coupons on the floor.

Let me just say… I love it. LOVE IT!! Love it, love it, love it.

Here are some other bonuses; OnTray is:

  • BPA free
  • Microwave safe
  • Top rack Dishwasher safe
  • Easy to clean

And my favorite part, Made in the USA!

I can hear you already, “Where can I get one?” Check out  this list of retailers to find a store near you, or you can buy online and use exclusive coupon code US Made for FREE SHIPPING! (Shipping discount will come in the form of a refund to your paypal account.)

    O.M.G! (gosh) I would absolutely die to have one of these! I am totally one of those moms that has a snack baggie and a sippy cup ready at any given sign of a whine just so I can keep them quiet long enough for me to get some shopping done! Or if I’m really desperate and forgot the snacks I have been known to open stuff in the store and then proceed to get a weird look from the cashier because its open! HaHa! Like you said, where has this been all my mommy life!! And I love that it is BPA free and made in the US!

    That sounds amazing, too bad I am Canadian (I love where I live, but miss out on some really neat things. ) My son has just reached the time of being big enough and able enough to sit in the shopping cart instead of the stroller now, so I may have to see if I can fit this into my tight little budget lol

    Hi Kendra,
    As a mom of many little ones I have honestly never brought a snack for my little ones to enjoy in the grocery store as we usually get a free cookie from the bakery.(The best part of shopping for them!)I can see though that these would be quite handy for the coupons and calculator..etc.:)I think I would use them alot.Thanks for the chance to win.

  • Nikki said:

    I also subscribe to your blog and love reading about your life.I often find myself saying “Kendra from new life on a Homestead “said this or that to my husband.:)We have been trying to do lots of things on our own that you and your husband are trying now.:)We are not good at lots of these things but it is fun to try new things anyway.Our older kids are beginning to enjoy doing some of the things we did not know how to do until after we had been married for awhile so it is kind of neat.Milking goats,making jelly,sewing etc are things they love!!!

  • Jessica said:

    My teens are a little too old to be using it in a shopping cart, but to use for my coupons…that would be wonderful! I hate having to use the seat, pocket of my purse, my kids’ hands, etc to hold what I can use, havent used yet, and cannot use. That is what I would use mine for!

  • Jessica said:

    I added your button.

  • Christina said:

    Omg, this is too cute! And so useful! I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to pick up goldfish/ grapes/ blueberries off of a grocery floor because my son has dropped his little travel snack bowl! Ingenious!

    Oh I would really love to get one of these! I have always wondered what to do with my coupons after I got the item because I always seem to lose them. I will soon have 4 kids under the age of 4 and my coupon book usually takes up my front seat where kids are suppose to sit. It makes shopping quite difficult. I try to have someone go with me to help with kids and hold my coupons!
