Abstract
An improved removable tray for use with a juvenile product is disclosed. A pair of side handles are provided on the bottom of a tray portion and are interconnected by a flexible interconnection member. The flexible interconnection member ensures that the operation of one of the side handles will create an equivalent operation in the other. Thus, one-handed operation of the preferred tray is possible. A center button may also be provided to allow the tray to be removed. A spring connected to the flexible interconnection member provides an appropriate bias to lock the tray in place. Accordingly, the present invention provides a simple, yet elegant and reliable solution to the problems in conventional trays.
