About Us

I am an automobile accessory inventor from Chicago.  Here’s my story…

“There’s got to be a better way,” I thought, as I chauffeured my children home from their after school activities. Soda on the seats . . . French fries on the floor . . . Condiments on their clothes. My two grade school age boys, making a mess in my clean car!  Sound familiar?

I’m Grace Amante and I created AutoTray, proving that necessity is the mother of invention.  As I drive my boys all over town running errands, activities and visits to parks and museums, I couldn’t stand another unpleasant incident of food falling on my kiddo’s laps and all over my new car. 

After losing my job as an Ocean Export Agent in 2009 during The Great Recession, I decided to pursue my dream and put my business plan into action. The USPTO(United States Patent & Trademark Office) approved my design patent in July 2008.  I received two additional patents  in 2017 and  the trademark in 2018 for another automobile accessory, The VersaVisor. 

The AutoTray offers your children the ideal mobile dining tray, as well as a surface they can use for homework activities or playing electronic games.  Adults love AutoTray, too. AutoTray offers you a convenient solution when you need to eat on the go— the occasional meal or snack in the car.
Whether you carpool,  travel on the job, or drive for a living (for truck drivers, cab/taxi/ride-sharing, salespeople), AutoTray provides the perfect alternative when you don’t have time to eat at home or in a restaurant.

AutoTray is lightweight but made of hard durable plastic(HDPE High-density polyethylene). Choose the color to match the interior of your vehicle: Ivory, Black, or Charcoal.  Choose a color for each passenger or member of the family so you don’t fight over one.
