Foldable Sturdy Travel Tray

A foldable tray comprising:

• a base comprising:
• first and second base sections each comprising opposed lateral edges, an inboard edge and a rigid hard surface;
• said first and second base sections adjacent to one another along the respective inboard edges, and foldable along said adjacent inboard edges between an extended position in which the respective rigid hard surfaces lay substantially in a plane and a fully folded position in which the respective rigid hard surfaces are stacked relative to one another;
• lateral side members attached along the opposed lateral edges of each of the base sections, wherein:
• each lateral side member is foldable, with respect to the base section to which it is attached and along its respectively attached lateral edge, between an upright position in which the respective lateral side member is at a substantial angle to the rigid hard surface of the base section to which it is attached and a portable position in which the respective lateral side member is either stacked relative to its respective base section or has a major surface lying in the same plane as the rigid hard surface of the base section to which it is attached;
• and
• a locking device that retains the first and second base sections in the extended position only when said locking device is engaged.
