Bugaboo Cup Holder . .


My idea of a good time used to involve tequila and an underground metal event, these days it's a long stroll and a strong fresh coffee in hand, to say times have changed is quite the understatement!  I'll admit I daydream frequently of those days coming back around again, maybe this time involving Wes Borland & company (hey, it's a daydream after all!) but for now a relaxi taxi is what I need.




A grande Starbucks attached to the Bee+
When we first decided upon the Bugaboo Bee+ as our buggy we had never intended to go in for any of the accessories given the already hefty price tag. Now a year and a half on with the growing girl in the hot seat the oul single handed push became almost impossible and unwilling to give up my little coffee vice I decided to look into the cup holder.  I found alot of helpful posts and reviews online, but not alot with photos.  I got it anyway and couldnt wait to try it out with all the different sized cups on the Bee+ and the Cameleon (we got this second hand when growing girl was 6 months old to tackle our village walk ways which are not in great shape for the Bee+)  

Overall I am happy with the purchase of the cup holder, it's strong, secure & efficient and I am very happy to have two hands free while I facilitate my Daughter and a sneaky Startbucks at the same time!  there are only two negatives the first is if you wear it on the outside it does stick out quite a bit. thats not so bad if you are strolling around the Village but becomes a pain in a crowded shopping centre.  I choose to stick it facing inwards and I find on the Bee+ it works a charm and you can still recline the seat all the way back with it attached, Bee+ also does fold with holder still attached.  On the Cameleon its the same if you mount it high on the extendable handle. the second negative (or more a warning) is that when I used it on the village walk the coffee spilled out as the cups in the local are so tiny (the illy one pictured) and the path way so bumpy it was inevitable but as I was only just getting my coffee fix this didnt click with me until it was too late!  I got this at Bella Baby in Dundrum Shopping Centre but i know Kealys have them also.
