I bought the one Andie mention off of Craigslist a few weeks before we went on vacation for Mya. The whole underside is soft and the lip is like pool material with foam. The actual tray part wasn't hard at all and it came out. There was even a little pocket on the side next to Mya for pens, markers, etc. We clipped it to the side of her car seat cover so that it wasn't constantly moving. All in all it wasn't a bad purchase and I wasn't worried about her using it at all.

ETA: She used it to color, eat on, and sit a portable DVD player on (I know not safe, but not my decision - I should also mention she rode up front while her mom rode in the back seat). Hope that helps.

ETA2: If you do go with the same one, I have a puzzle insert and a magnetic insert (has soft pieces you make a scene out of) that I knew Mya would only care about for 3 seconds and then loose the pieces. So if you want those FFS, let me know.

Go to the dollar store and get one of those foam boogie boards. They're firm enough to write or color on, but not hard or heavy enough to cause injury in a crash.

Those are great ideas. I wasn't even looking for one, but I'm thinking I want something now, lol. We'll need it if we decide to go to TX this summer.
