Abstract
A portable article holding device for catching articles which may fall from a user's hands towards the floor when a user is sitting in a chair, such as a high chair. The device has an open top, and includes a pair of front receptacles configured for operably expanding and contracting into one another, and a pair of arm receptacles, each of which can be operably expanded and contracted into an associated front receptacle. When thus configured, the device can adjustably deploy to create a full receptacle perimeter around users having variable body shapes and sizes. In an example embodiment, the device further includes a pair of arm receptacle subsets which expand and contract to further vary the width of each arm receptacle. When in a retracted position, the device can further include a selectively removable cover sized to close the open top of the device.
