My otherwise healthy near 50 husband was involved in an accident and was advised by the occupational therapist before leaving the hospital to get a tray like this for the walker he was going to be using for the next 12+ weeks. The occupational therapist assured him it would dramatically increase his independence, as he could get a drink of water, or a plate of food, or even a DVD or magazine and have a way to carry it from one place to another while using the walker, and he wouldn’t need anyone to stay with him all day to help with such things (meaning I didn’t have to take a leave of absence from my job to care for him). My husband spent 2 evenings in the hospital researching all the options available on the market, and determined this tray was the best “bang for the buck”.
When it arrived, I opened up the box and happily found that there was NO ASSEMBLY needed. (Hurray!) Attaching it to the walker was easy to do. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I was able to attach the tray without any pain or assistance; you press the 4 clips against the walker and it pops right into place with no chance that it will fall off, slide around or otherwise loosen.
The tray it’s self has 2 cup holders that accommodate both the large, lidded hospital type insulated cups as well as standard kitchen glasses and mugs. We found that filling a cup/glass/mug to 1 inch below the top was just right to avoid accidental spills when going over door thresholds, so you don’t have to suffer with 1/2 a cup of coffee when you need a full one. The tray will hold a plate of food, silverware and a napkin, and one drink in each cup holder, to take to a table. The tray folds flat against the walker front so you can maneuver the walker right up against a stove, sink or counter without having to lean forward at an awkward angle, and it didn’t leave scratches on wood cupboards. A quick wipe with a dish cloth, wash cloth, baby wipe or sponge, and the tray is clean and ready to go again. The crumbs and debris don’t get stuck in corners or the cup holders, they come right up. In short, it does what the occupational therapist said or would— it gives my husband the ability to do things independently. Let’s face it, needing help to get a drink of water and the tv remote is frustrating for everyone, patient and caretaker alike, and this makes it easy. You can’t put a price on sanity, but you can find ways to keep that sanity that don’t break the bank.
The only downside we found in using this tray is static cling. The tray edge seemed to collect dog fur whenever one of our 2 Labrador Retrievers walked by. I found that if I squirted Static Guard on a cloth and wiped the tray edge, or I rubbed it with a fabric softener sheet, the dog fur would come right off and not return for a few days. Not a big thing, but you don’t want dog fur either.
This is the tray I will be recommending to everyone I know if they are advised to get a walker. I can’t imagine how anyone can have a walker and NOT have a tray like this.

Problematic Walker Tray
This is a sturdy walker tray that is easy to secure to the walker, but it’s VERY challenging to move it from the vertical position to the flat/horizontal position for use. The design is problematic as the metal has to slide through grooves in the plastic tray and the tray catches and binds. It definately takes two hands and considerable effort. If you’re going to just keep it up all the time that won’t be a problem, but when wanting to get up close to a surface such as at a sink, it's difficult without moving the tray into the vertical position. It’s definitely more cumbersome than the Invacare trays that fit the Invacare walkers or the Yungatart walker tray. I’m speaking as an occupational therapist who’s very familiar with this equipment. (I chose this tray because it fits the super cute, pink Nova walker I purchased for my daughter with special needs knowing she’s more likely to use a cute walker than a standard gray one. I ended up having to discard this tray and purchase an Yungatart tray instead.)
