If you have a bottle in the cup holder & you pull the bottle out (not up) against the 'prongs', do they give way, or do they lock in place pretty well

I don't believe you can pull the bottle straight out since the prongs are pretty tight to keep the bottle from being knocked out of the holder. But you can fold down the prongs and use the holder without the prongs holding the bottle, if you don't have any reason to believe the bottle would get knocked over. I like this option myself.

They will give way fairly easily until they are at their maximum opening (4 1/4" tip to tip). Fine for 12 oz cans and 1/2 L plastic bottles. I would not recommend using with a Big Gulp.

i returned this item after my large coke flew out all over me and the carpet. the arms have no friction and thus cannot hold a beverage. shame on this manufacturer! the tool is worn out and needs sevice. also the color is supposed to be black but in day light you can see it is dark purple this item is crap!!!

Depends on force. If you pull against the prongs they will move but they are strong enough to hold a bottle bouncing against them.

There is a velcro tab (at the end of the fabric that runs from the pouch beneath the bottle). It's adjustable, to accommodate different size hands. Once the velcro is loosened, the bottle slides out from the circle at the top (with the drink spout removed). Sounds harder than it is - it's actually very easy.

On mine the little handle on the cup just slides up into a little pocket on the right side of the seat. Kinda wish it could be used in either side but there's only one little pocket on mine. It does hold it in place though. Hope that hels.

I've had one for a few years now. I think I may have tried velcro, but in the end I decided that it generally stays put on its own. If you're trying to put a large drink in the cupholder, it won't stay in the holder anyway.

Hi, Vickie: bound to one side of the bottle holder are two sets of velcro straps close together. One naturally straps around the frame tube (vertical). The other naturally straps around the handlebar stalk (horizontal). They secure very well, though the holder tends to flop a little. But unless your bottle is two feet high or you do hardcore BMX on your bike -- you should have no problems. Just for fun I bought an 18-inch velcro strap to further secure the bottom of the holder to the frame tube. This holder is easy to detach and take along when you must leave your bike for a long time.

The cup holders have a little stretch to them. I would feel safe putting a sports bottle/something with a tight cover in it, but probably not a looser fitting lid such as a fast food drink or coffee cup.

Just off the top of my head, I would say it may fall over if it's in the top ring. I always put things in the lower part of the holder and use it as an insert to my regular cup holder, to cut down the chance of spills.

main cover screws off and could act as a cup, I guess, but bottle itself has a smallish cover that pops up when you push a button. It would be very awkward to drink from.

I think this bottle is too tall to put in a cup holder. Not to mention it's glass and I wouldn't have it in the car w/me, there are a lot safer containers to have in the car. If you're going to do it I'd go with one of the previous answers don't fill it up all the way otherwise keep the top (which is easy to remove) on.

Not really. It still screws on tight and I have no problems with leaks or anything but when tight the hole in the lid is too close to the handle to make it easy to hold & drink out of. It doesn't bother me though because I use a big long straw to sip out of. Keeps my stuff cold all day & I love it.

They are pretty easy to remove and place back in. You just have to remember they are elastic. I wear mine on runs and hikes and the bottles go in and out fairly easily.

Yes, but the rubber pads to prevent are only on one vertex (one point) on each bottle holder, as they are all meant to be combined as one unit to stand on the vertices. However, the weight of a wine bottle will them in place securely, I feel.

The tops are like a cap that you push on to lock them in and push up on them to open. Then you can drink from the bottle as if it were a soda can (I guess that would be upside down). You do not need to squeeze the bottles to get the water out, gravity does the work for you. These bottles are great for hikes or the gym. They keep a solid lock when the cap is pushed down and this keeps water from coming out if dropped or if you want to lay them on their sides. I hope this helps.

Yes, they do. The little cup is designed to fit into the opening of the bottle, and the white ring and nipple twist directly on as usual, holding the cup in place. They are great, I use them all the time; for keeping a bottle ready next to the bed at night, and for the diaper bag. Be careful with the airtight lid that goes in the cup, it's a very tight fit and can sometimes be tricky to remove without formula going everywhere. Hope this helps!

The bottle that I have has a straw. It tucks neatly away when you twist the cap. Hope this helps.

I actually had no problem opening any of my bottles. I just use both thumbs and push on the part where the wires twist around which causes the top to flip and you just swing it down.

They hold them pretty well. I have one the BPA water bottles (camel brand), and I always put it in the side pocket. It fits perfectly.
