Tips for Selecting a
Wheelchair Cup Holder

A wheelchair cup holder can be a convenient, useful accessory for both manual and power wheelchair users. Cup holders typically do not come with a new mobility chair. Yet, they can be easily purchased from a wheelchair store or an online retailer for around $10 to $30 USD.

wheelchair cup holder When you are ready to buy, look for a cup holder that attaches to an easy-to-reach place on the frame or armrest of your wheelchair. If it attaches to the wheelchair tray, it will not be as stable.

Frame-mount and armrest cup holders are secure and will do the best job of reducing spills when you are moving in your wheelchair.

You will find cup holders designed for a chair frame with round tubing, square tubing, or both. Most attach to the mobility chair frame with metal clips or Velcro strips, and an adjustable clamping mechanism will make installation fast, easy and secure. Some cup holders can fold up when not in use, which may be helpful when going through narrow doorways.

You will find that cup holders are designed to hold anything from water bottles and cans to glasses and mugs. This includes drinks from six ounces to 46 ounces in size.

There are also drink bottles available that are specifically designed for use with cup holders; though, they are not necessary for usage since most holders are designed for universal use.
