Tray Gliders in a child's hands
This set holds two tray gliders of white plastic. A glider is a part that lets the tray slide. These gliders belong to the transparent tray of 31 × 37.5 × 7 cm that is sold without gliders, and according to the manufacturer the gliders for that tray have to be bought separately. The tray is made for the Tray Cabinet, so the gliders are used there together with the tray. Neither the tray nor the cabinet is part of the set. The gliders are for indoor use. For children aged 3 to 6.
