A folding stroller tray that finds particular use with folding strollers commonly used with small children. The present invention provides a folding stroller tray with a plurality of members which have complementary nested portions that are connected by fasteners that pass the nesting portions to define axis about which the members rotate and join the members to define a desired plane of contact among the assembled members. The present invention includes a method for providing a folding stroller tray.

What is claimed is: 1. A folding stroller tray comprising: a first member having first and second end portions with a first nesting member formed at a selected end; a second member having first and second end portions with a second nesting member formed at a selected end; a third member having first and second end portions with complementary nesting members formed at the first and second end portions, each of the complementary nesting members complementing a selected one of the first and second nesting members; and at least two fasteners rotatably connecting the nesting members of the first, second and third members together, each fastener defining an axis of rotation for the connected nesting members and maintaining a plane between a contact surface of each connected nesting member; at least one projection included with at least one of the first nesting member, the second nesting member, and the complementary nesting members; at least another one of the first nesting member, the second nesting member, and the complementary nesting member defining at least one arcuate recess, the at least one arcuate recess being generally concentrically aligned with a rotational axis of at least one of the nesting members, the at least one projection being contained by the arcuate recess; and at least one stop positioned in the arcuate recess for preventing motion of the at least one projection; whereby rotation of the third member around at least one of the first and second members is limited by contact between the projection and the stop. 2. The folding stroller tray according to claim 1, wherein the first member includes a first connector for connection to a first structural portion of a stroller and the second member includes a second connector for connection to a second structural portion of the stroller. 3. The folding stroller tray of claim 1, wherein each connected nesting member includes a bearing protrusion and a chamber, and the bearing protrusion is seated in the chamber to form a rotatable connection about the axis of rotation. 4. The folding stroller tray of claim 3, wherein the bearing protrusion is dimensioned to fit within the chamber and prevent off axis movement of the connected nesting members. 5. The folding stroller tray of claim 3, wherein the at least one projection is spaced apart from the axis of rotation. 6. The folding stroller tray of claim 3, wherein the at least two fasteners extend into a respective bearing protrusion and are axially aligned with the respective bearing protrusion. 7. The folding stroller tray according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first member, the second member and the third member includes a storage area. 8. The folding stroller tray according to claim 2, wherein the first and the second connectors define an aperture for receiving a respective one of the first and the second stroller structural portions. 9. The folding stroller tray of claim 1, wherein the first and third members are connected together by at least one of the at least two fasteners at a first pivot formed by the first nesting member and one of the complementary nesting members, and wherein the second and third members are connected together by at least another one of the at least two fasteners at a second pivot formed by the second nesting member and another one of the complementary nesting members. 10. The folding stroller tray of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first, second and third members are formed of a polymeric material. 11. The folding stroller tray of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first, second and third members are formed of a metallic material. 12. A folding stroller tray comprising: a first member having first and second end portions with a first nesting member formed at a selected end; a second member having first and second end portions with a second nesting member formed at a selected end; a third member having first and second end portions with complementary nesting members formed at the first and second end portions, each of the complementary nesting members complementing a selected one of the first and second nesting members; and at least two fasteners that rotatably connect the nesting members of the first, second and third members together and define an axis of rotation and maintain a plane between a contact surface of each connected nesting member; wherein each of the first nesting member, the second nesting member, and the complementary nesting members include at least one of a bearing protrusion and complementary chamber, and at least one of projections and complementary recesses spaced from the at least one of the bearing protrusion and the complementary chamber, wherein the bearing protrusion is contained in the complementary chamber and the projections are contained in the complementary recesses to pivotably connect the first, second, and third members together. 13. A method of providing a folding stroller tray comprising: providing a first member having first and second end portions with a first nesting member formed at a selected end; providing a second member having first and second end portions with a second nesting member formed at a selected end; providing a third member having first and second end portions with complementary nesting members formed at the first and second end portions, each of the complementary nesting members complementing a selected one of the first and second nesting members; providing the first and second nesting members with a bearing protrusion and providing each of the complementary nesting members with a complementary chamber having a blind cylindrical aperture; providing a through hole on a blind surface of each blind aperture concentric with the blind aperture; and pivotably connecting the first member to the third member by inserting the bearing protrusion of the first nesting member into the complementary chamber of one of the complementary nesting members and inserting a screw through the through hole into the bearing protrusion; and pivotably connecting the second member to the third member by inserting the bearing protrusion of the second nesting member into the complementary chamber of the other complementary nesting member and inserting a screw through the through hole into the bearing protrusion. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising providing at least one of the first member, the second member and the third member with at least one depression. 15. The method of claim 13, further comprising providing each of the first nesting member, the second nesting member, and the complementary nesting members with at least one of a bearing protrusion and complementary chamber, and at least one of projections and complementary recesses spaced from the at least one of the bearing protrusion and the complementary chamber, wherein connecting each of the first and second nesting members to one of the complementary nesting members includes inserting the projections into the recesses, and inserting the bearing protrusion into the complementary chamber.
