Disclosed is a golf cart safety platform with interchangeable handle bars. Said platform, rectangular in shape, is attached to the golf cart's floor, via a strong, metal-bonding adhesive. Attached to the platform's top surface, via similar metal-bonding method, is a single, or a plurality of stanchion bases. Each stanchion base incorporates a vertical socket, accepting a socket pin. The pin locks in place the interchangeable handle bars, with relative ease, and without the need for the metal-bonding adhesives. The handle bars come in different shapes and sizes, including but not limited to: I-shaped, H-shaped, U-shaped and goalpost-shaped bars. Each of the handle bars may be outfitted with a food and accessory tray. The tray provides its end-users, thus the golf cart driver and its passenger, with the ability to store food and small, personal objects. In addition to its storage capabilities, the tray also incorporates two, oval-shaped, grip handles—providing the end-users with extra surfaces to hold on to, when driving the golf cart through difficult terrain.
