Abstract: A high chair tray provides for the positive capture of food containers, e. g., bowls, dishes, etc., therein, to preclude tipping or spillage of the containers and/or their contents by an infant or small child in the high chair. The tray is separated into a forward and a rearward component by a lateral division, with the components connected by a left and a right track which allow the tray components to slide together and apart from one another. One or more depressions or receptacles are provided along the division, with the receptacle(s) each having an undercut channel. Specially formed containers are provided which nest in the receptacle(s) of the tray, with the containers each having a peripheral base flange extending therefrom. When the tray portions are separated, the container(s) may be placed within the appropriately fitting receptacle(s), with the container flange being captured by the undercut channel of the tray receptacle when the tray components are closed together.
