 Nice, if it lastsAug 10, 2008
By Neatfreak
This valet has two removable crayon/pencil zippered pouches at the top, net pockets below, and a large plastic pocket which can accommodate a drawing pad etc. It closes with a zipper and has a front transparent pocket suitable for favorite photos/drawings and the like. It is made of soft bendable plastic, which seems safe enough (e.g. in the event of an accident). The down side of this is that the drawing/valet side is too soft to rest arms/hands (or anything other than small objects) on. The back side of the valet (i.e. the one against the front seat) is of the same soft material, and got torn a few weeks after I bought it. The zipper is of poor good quality and gets stuck a lot, and requires frequent intervention by an adult. The valet is attached onto the front seat by means of two straps that hug the seat using velcro. This looks ugly, is irritating to the person seated in the front seat (pulling hair etc), and it would not stay put in my vehicle. Overall, my son loved this item while it lasted. I like the idea, but the design is poor and the materials are cheap. Unlike the price.

Know what you're gettingJul 09, 2010

I ordered this for my 3 1/2-year-old granddaughter for a long car trip. I didn't realize that all you get for $24 is the case itself. Based on the photo of the item and the photo of the box, I thought it came with crayons, etc. Nope---just the case. My daughter was delighted, however, as she says they have all the stuff to put in it. I just think it's too much money for an empty case when there are other products I could have purchased that, for the same price or less, came with toys or art supplies.

Great productAug 09, 2007
By A. Olaussen
My 4 year old daughter loves the Alex Car Valet. She has instant access to all her small toys, crayons, stickers etc. without needing any assistance. It is easy and fast to unzip for play, and zip up when she's done. It keeps the car neet and tidy.
The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that it really doesn't fit my car properly. I have a SUV cross-over, and the Valet is hanging too low to fit above my daughter's knees when she is sitting in her car seat. I have fixed it by adding some extra rope to hang it from the top of the head rest of the front seat instead of the back of it and it works.

Awesome!Jan 09, 2008
By T. Scot

I just installed this today, and took our first car ride with it. It's awesome! My four year old daughter loves the independence she has to choose where her things go inside, and what she plays with at any given time. It has enough room for markers & paper (I got her the ColorWonder so I don't have to worry about my car), her Leapster and cartridges, toys, extra batteries, juice box, etc. It's not as deep as I expected, and I was surprised that it didn't reach over her lap. We have a Caravan, and I moved the passenger seat in front of her all the way back, and her seat all the way up. It sort of rests on her knees. But she says it's fine for reaching, and doesn't have trouble coloring on it. And she can easily open & close it herself.
The only drawback I can think of is that the fastener (velcro straps) isn't very flexible in terms of fitting on a variety of seat types. It worked OK for the Caravan, but required some creative wrapping/twisting to get the length right.
One thing I'm not sure of is whether things will fall off it, since the tray doesn't have sides. We have the Star tray also, and it's awesome because it has sides. But it's not a desk-organizer like the Valet.
I suppose since the Valet is so skinny when put up, it won't get in the way of the Star tray if I need her to eat in the car.

 Fun on the go!Sep 01, 2011
By netski78
A great source of entertainment for children of all ages. You can fill it with whatever is age appropriate and change the supplies to add variety. We put finger puppets, pencils, toy matchbox cars, stickers, colouring books, drawing paper and a mini fisher price kid tough doodler in it. This kept my 2 young children amused for hours. It's also great to take away on holidays as all their supplies are neatly packed away but readily accessible at short notice. It would have been good if the little cases were slightly bigger to fit full length pencils in but it is good that they are removable. I wouldn't recommend keeping crayons in the case, as they melt in a hot car. Much better than a portable DVD player as the kids are using their creativity and imagination.
