  • Patent number: 5580132
    Abstract: An inflatable serving tray that is convertible into a booster seat. The device consists of a predefined surface area that allows for securement of a serving plate and beverage in such a manner so as to avoid spillage during consumption. Should spillage occur, a recess is provided so as to contain the spillage and direct it to the beverage holder where it can be easily removed. In addition, when the serving tray is not in use, the device may be used as a booster seat so as to raise the child to approximate the level of an average adult while seating. As a booster seat a recessed section operates to position the child correctly so as to help prevent the child from accidentally falling off the booster seat as well as contain liquids such as excess water from a child's swimming suit. A slot is provided for placement of napkins or eating utensils. Through hole chambers reduce the amount of air required for inflation and eliminate the pillowing of an inflatable device by providing internal surface support.
