RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Parents are troubled with messes at mealtimes due to the boisterous nature of children, especially the frequent tipping of bowls and plates. Besides, the long term survey of similar products shows that tedious steps are required to install or remove the tray. To solve these problems, this product uses a one handed magnetic tray attachment, an insert easy to clean and a tray which prevents tipping bowls and plates, to keep children safe and comfortable at mealtimes, and to bring ease to parents.
CHALLENGE: The design team gave top priority to creating a suction area on the tray where plates and bowls of various materials could be stayed in place. To overcome this challenge, they researched on various materials with different adsorption, and applied a nanoscale adsorption material NanoFix in making the suction area of the tray. This innovative functionality can keep plates and bowls stayed in place to prevent being tipped, thus avoiding messes at mealtimes caused by boisterous actions of children.
