Cupholders for a Maclaren Techno? *NEW QUESTION PG 2*

[Cinderumbrella]

What does everyone use for cupholders on your Maclaren strollers? We have a Techno XT which we love, but really need to get cupholders for it.

TIA!!

I bought the Prince Lionheart ones that clip on and off. I haven't put them onto my Mac Quest yet but have friends that use them with thier Volo and Quest. You can buy those at Babies R us and Toys R Us.

Bumping.... anyone else???

we too used the clip on from BRu but broke it on our last trip to the world!!! and still have not replaced it

Our favorite "aftermarket" cupholder/caddy is from www.carryyou.com We have the Demi-milan model and it works great on our Mac Triumph as well as a couple other strollers we have/have had. We tried the Prince Lionheart on our Mac and it was OK, but we had to cut the foam on the handle to attach the clip and have the stroller still close. And it seemed like the cupholder part was never where I wanted it to be when I wanted to use it. The CarryYou is fabric so it just folds with the stroller and isn't really in the way when it is not in use. They also make a single cupholder/caddy that we use for DS's snacks, drinks, toys.

Cheers!

Do you think the demi-milan is better, or the Mac universal organizer? I am torn, because I don't have much feedback on either one. Which means OP might not have much either!

We went with the demi-milan over the Mac universal organizer because the demi has two cup holders and the Mac one has one. It also fits nicely with a skip-hop bag attached, whereas the mac org. seemed too long and like it would hang over the SH. There is also a longer Mac universal-like organizer available at Target. By Eddie Bauer I think. I haven't loooked too closely at it, though.

HTH a little!

We have the EB organizer from Target on our Triumph. It has a mesh pocket, single bottle holder, and large velcro pocket. It works great except you have to un-velcro the bottom to fold the stroller up. The upside is it's half the price of the Mac one and looks almost the same.

I have this too for my Mac too! Love it and the fact that it was cheaper then the "official" Mac organizer!!

I found lots of Mac ones, at all kinds of online stores including Target for $19.99, but cannot find any EB ones. Where do you get them?


OP, hope this info is helping you -- I am just full of questions!!

I found our EB one at Target in the baby products section. There were other EB car/toy organizers, raincovers, car seat mats, etc. Not by the strollers, but with the aisles that have diapers and bottles.

Thanks! I will have to remember to look there. Since my youngest is just turning 4, I don't see the baby aisles much anymore.

Thanks for all the replies, I bet the OP is able to just ride out my questions, lol. I might take a look at the EB one at Target, since it apparently is not available online to look at. Then I will decide whether to buy it, order the Mac one for 19.99, or do without any (since dd is, after all, gonna be 4). Just thinking cupholders would be handy, last year we were always digging in the basket all the time for waterbottles! Which were in bags because their condensation soaked everything else in the basket. OOOOOOHHHH to have cupholders!

EB = Eddie Bauer. There are usually on the same counter as the bath tub/bath toys. There is a whole section of really cool stuff for traveling. The stick on window tint is also greatness!!

Hi- I am the OP- thanks to all for all your great responses (and questions too!!) I will check out the EB at Target and the Prince Lionheart at BRU and decide which works best for us.
Thanks again!!!!!

Well, I ran to Target today...got the EB one for $8.99. LMK, OP, when you pick one. I didn't run to BRU -- it's a pain to get to around here. BTW, the EB one only has ONE bottle-side pocket. We'll probably keep other water bottles in the big mesh pocket --it is still easier than digging around in the basket!

OK, I bought the Prince Lionheart one at BRU today and am wondering what the "secret" is to get it from turning all around. I want the cupholder positioned to the side not dangling behind the handle...

HELP!!!!!!!
