Please recommend a cup holder for wheelchairs

[ryan840]

My parents will more than likely end up renting a wheelchair for my mom while we're down there and she would like to have cupholders if they do. I was going to grab these http://www.princelionheart.com/site/t_str_6529.html at Babies R Us but I don't know if they'll fit... Any recommendations? Thanks!

That ones not going to work because the tubing on the stroller is a lot smaller then a wheelchair. It just fits the umbrella stroller in the picture with not much room left over.

Wheelchair cup holders are expensive. Since you will have 2 kids with you will your stroller have a cup holder she could put her drink in?

The one in the picture is adjustable but like you mentioned I don't know if it will work in a wheelchair. I have the cupholders for my stroller but no wheelchair to test it on! Using our cupholders won't work because we won't be together most of the time. Is wheelchair tubing a pretty standard size? I wonder if someone wouldn't mind measuring for me if it is. Thanks for the input!

Most wheelchair tubing is either 7/8 or 1 inch around.
I think stroller tubing is smaller - like 1/2 to 3/4 inch.

As Michigan said, most of the ones made for wheelchairs are pretty expensive. Here are some that made for wheelchairs that are kind of typical prices. Here's a link to a wheelchair cup holder that isn't very expensive, but it's pretty basic.
We bought a warer bottle holder once for a bicycle that worked on a wheelchair. That was a little less expensive than the wheelchair ones.

Thanks for the links and the tubing size info, now I can scout around. Never thought to try one made for a bike, I'll have to see what they have!
