The tray has an upper surface, first and second edges, and walls coupled to the edges and lower surface to define a cavity therebetween. A rib extends from at least one of the walls of the tray and the latch includes a slot for receiving the rib therein. In addition, the latch is configured to move between a latched position in which the latch is adapted to engage the arms of the seat and a release position in which the latch is adapted to disengage the arms of the seat.
