Travel Tikes Car Activity Center

We use the art desk in the house and also on the go in the car. The storage section is nice. We print out our own coloring pages before going anywhere and I put them in the desk, so when my daughter is all buckled in and she opens her desk, it's a fun surprise for her to see what awaits.
The crayons do not erase easily at all. We scrubbed the 'wipe off board' with soap and warm water and got it all off.

We tossed the crayons and have replaced them with Crayola Pip Squeaks Washable Markers. They wipe off the board very easily with a baby wipe and they fit perfectly into the crayon holders!

So now we're loving this art desk and have changed its function a bit. It's super!

We have loved these boards so much that I am buying a second set! While I agree that the crayons melt, we bought pip squeak markers and they fit in the holders and will be fine in a hot car. Then in the winter we switch back to crayons. We also do not use the lower buckle. We use just use the top buckle and let it hang. We do not use the dry erase board because it does not erase. WE LOVE to use it as a drawing board or desk. We stock the lower section with a tablet of white paper and coloring book pages and both kids use it for hours. My girls are 8 and 7 and have used the board for over 3 years to the point we need new ones! We have made the best of all of the good aspects!! I love the idea of putting a book light in the board to be able to color at night!

This is not up to Little Tyke quality at all!!! It will not erase, wash, or clean off in any way. It is a one time use toy. Concept is good, but needs crayons that will truly erase. My child received it as a gift, but I would definitely return it if I could!

We received this as a gift and it is really a great idea, but as stated in all the reviews it's just too hard to get the crayon off. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Also unfortunately our seats are too far from the car seat to make this usable in our car.

This product is evxtremely hard to clean. The wipe-able doodle board is one time only use. My husband could not even erase the crayon off the doodle board, so a child can certainly not erase it.

I purchased this for a 10hr car trip with my 3yr old girl before I saw reviews about how hard it was to get the crayon off. It is almost impossible to erase the crayon they give you. The eraser is a cheap sponge. We were already on the trip, so we had to use it. The BEST solution is to use your own washable crayons, a wet wipe and a paper towel. My child could erase the washable crayon off with a wet wipe herself using little effort and then wipe it dry with a paper towel. Had I not found a cheap & easy solution that she could do herself (you know how independent kids are), I absolutely would have returned it in a snap!

Bought 2 for my girls (3 & 5 yrs) to use on an unexpect car trip (1000 miles one way). They were very excited at first because they LOVE to draw. As a desk, it was just OK. The white board is very difficult to erase and I had trouble fastening to the seat so they could use. And the clasp was a little tricky. The girls were quickly frustrated and very upset. I had also picked up a different Little Tykes activity center for my 1 1/2 yr old. It uses magnets and worked very well. Simple and perfect. I wish I had picked up 2 of it instead. All 3 kids wanted to use it. Maybe I could have avoided hours of sobbing....

My 3 yr old was sooo excited when I gave this to him to play with on a long car ride. He wouldn't put it down...he even fell asleep with it in his lap. This product is a great idea, but has many flaws. 1. Buckle in the parents back. 2. Hard to erase, even for adults. 3. Somewhat small writing surface. 4. Crayons completely melt into liquid if left in the car (this is a travel toy, so I would expect that I could leave it in the car with no problems.) My son loves it so much that I told him I would try to get the crayons replaced. If I can't, then it goes in the garbage which is too bad.

Wrote on this once, pulled out the eraser, nothing happened. I would not recommend. Says on the instructions to use the crayons provided, if you use other markers, etc the eraser will not work - well . . . it doesn't work period!

This product is great to doodle on but its not very fun to erase what you've doodled b/c the eraser doesn't work very good and is almost impossible for an adult to even wipe off
