Phil and Ted's cupholder options...

[skipspin]

I have a phil and teds that I am going to be using more now, especailly in doubles, so I really need a cup holder. I have a Valco on my Zooper that I LOVE, and I actually have an extra that I bought for the Phil and Teds. The problem is I couldn't find a GREAT place to put it, and it didn't hold a heavy water bottle without tipping like the one on my Zooper does. So, I'm only half happy.

So, I know about the Carry-you holders/consoles, and might try one, but I will have to order it (unless A Running Stroller has them, then I might be able to get over there in the next few weeks...) Is there one that works great on the e-3? Is there something better? I really only NEED a cup holder, but small console or two cupholders would be okay since there's always plenty of junk to put in. LOL.

Thanks, and if anyone has pics of something on their e-3 that works great I'd love to see one.

I LOVE my Phil and Ted Console - It has 2 cupholders and a large middle compartment where I keep my phone, keys and sometimes my wallet. You can't exactly put a hot drink in but it's great for sippy cups and water bottles. Thing is it works best when the handle is in the upright position. I strongly reccomend it!

There are alot of posts on the boards about using this on the E3.
I love it.

Email me...I'll send you my BOB. It kind of works on my mountain buggy, but I saw it on a E3 and thought it worked better on it...that'll give me an excuse to buy something new, lol.

I really like my Bob console... it's got 2 cupholders as well as a little zippered compartment.

That being said, DH and I are fairly short so we have the handle in the "shorter" position. I've heard that if you use the e3 handle in the more upright position, you can't really use the Bob because of the angle (unless you only plan on putting sealed containers in there, like bottled water)

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

I'm also debating on whether to get the BOB console or the one from Tike Tech. Is the one from BOB a mesh cup holder? The one from Tike Tech has a mesh. Are they the same?
