A foldable table includes a table top including confronting sections that are removably engageable so that a rectangular top surface is formed when the sections are abutted. The top surface spans across the back seat of the vehicle and is position within the vehicle. First and second sections have coextensively shaped front edges spanning along an entire top surface length. Third and fourth sections have coextensively shaped rear edges spanning along the entire top surface length. A guard rail is conjoined to an outer periphery of each section, wherein first, second, third and fourth rails are detachably abutted at an end-to-end orientation. First and second legs are coupled to the third and fourth sections, and have bottom ends positioned on a floor of the vehicle. A mechanism is included for releasably locking all the sections at an engaged position during transit, and is spaced from the legs.
