Abstract
A tray includes a base panel having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front edge, a rear edge and two opposing side edges. Extending from the rear edge are a pair of U-shaped hooks that fasten to grommets on a front section of an adjustable belt. Suspenders are securable to eyelets on a rear section of the belt and to opposing side edges of the base panel. A sliding retaining wall secures smaller items that would otherwise shift when being transported on the base panel. Accordingly, the base panel is firmly supported in a horizontal position, adjacent to the user's waist, allowing various items to be conveniently transported thereon.
