A new and improved stroller system with a removable tray comprising, in combination:

• a stroller having a frame with a seat for the receipt of a child and having wheels therebeneath and having a handle thereabove;
• a generally U-shaped restraining bar having parallel free side arms with interior ends coupled with respect to the stroller frame with a cross bar integrally formed with the side arms and located in front of the seat, the cross bar having an interior surface with co-planar lateral extents and a thickened central extent therebetween thereby forming a central planar surface extending downwardly and inwardly and with angled transition extents between the central extent and the lateral extents, the cross bar also having an exterior surface in a generally vertical planar orientation with two lateral ribs located adjacent to the lateral extents of the bar, the lateral ribs being angled downwardly and outwardly and a central notch is formed centrally in the center extent of the bar for the releasable locking receipt of an infant carrier;
• and
• a tray formed with an upper surface in a generally planar configuration having an essentially oval periphery with a cylindrical recess formed near one edge thereof for the receipt of a beverage container, the tray also having a peripheral edge extending upwardly therefrom the peripheral edge having a downwardly extending shroud with a front section and lateral side sections, the tray having a generally inverted U-shaped skirt extending downwardly from a rearward portion of the upper surface of the tray, the U-shaped skirt having a rearward plate with parallel co-planar lateral sides and a generally parallel central section therebetween angled downwardly and inwardly to be slidably received upon the interior central planar surface of the cross bar, the rearward plate having two forwardly extending tabs for being received in notches formed in a rearward lower edge of the cross bar, the skirt also having a forward plate extending vertically along the majority of its extent with a forwardly extending recess adjacent to each lateral edge thereof for being slidably received upon the ribs of the front surface of the cross bar and with a pair of rearwardly extending tabs adapted to be received beneath front edge of the cross bar, the rearwardly extending projections having slots on opposite sides thereof and extending upwardly into the forward plate for increased resilience, the central portion of the rearward plate extending downwardly below the adjacent central planar surface of the cross bar for being pulled by a child care provider when removing the tray from the cross bar.
