Tip for drink holders

[malcolm silcock]

You may find this of use, particularly if you have a disabled child in stroller or wheelchair.

Get one of those plastic bottle holders from a bicycle shop (normally used on racer bikes) and attach it to your stroller or wheelchair with self tapping screws or some of them come with clips (make sure it will still fold when attached). If you position were your child can access easily then can get their drinks as and when they want and it's one less thing for you to carry round:D

Good idea. We've found them in the children's bike department too. DD had one with Minnie Mouse on the cup. We packed the holder and a screwdriver in our checked baggage to put on after we got to WDW. I didn't want anything else sticking off the wheelchair that could break off when we checked it for our flight.

We've used the ones sold for strollers that fold up flat when not in use. They come in either black or white and will hook onto any round part of the wheelchair. Older DD likes hers down by her leg and youngest DD likes her up on her push handle.

There is also something called a Buddy System that has a drink holder that works well on a powere wheelchair. I didn't care for the folding cup holders as they stcuk out and were always catching on things. The Buddy system is forward at the end of my arm rest so doesn't cause this problem. A thermal Tupperware cup with dripless lid fits in it perfectly and avoids spills
