Restaurant Highchair Tray Topper Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a restaurant highchair tray topper device that is comprised of a body that has a tray and a pair of arms, in addition to a carrying bag. The body of the device further preferably resembles a cafeteria-style tray and is flexible or semi-flexible, such that it is child-safe and sturdy. The pair of arms extend from the tray and attach to a restaurant highchair. In this manner, the device can be applied to any restaurant highchair that does not already have a tray, such that a child may store all food, beverages, and toys safely, and without disturbing others, or allowing said items to fall to the floor
