The Babble Review: Soft Buggy Cup from Think King

Chris Ford — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:02:00 GMT

Honestly, what's more American than a cup holder? Some strollers come with cup holders, and others (like my un-American Bubagoo Frog) don't. The Soft Buggy Cup from Think King is a portable cup holder that you can use for much more than beverages in many more places than your stroller. But it works pretty well holding your drink while you're at the mall with the kids too. My full review is after the jump.

The Soft Buggy cup is made of a silver mesh that keeps it's form while still being soft enough to collapse into your bag or pocket. It attaches to whatever you are trying to put it on with a series of velcro straps. In fact I was successful in attaching it to a bunch of things without a problem. On my Bugaboo it worked very well as a cup holder for my daughter, but trying to attach it to the top of the handle while keeping it upright was more of a challenge. It worked better when I attached it a little farther down the handle, but it is the sort of thing that will work best with a capped drink in a bottle (like the picture on the web site).

The cool thing about it though is the other places you can attach it to. Wheelchairs, scooters, bicycles and bunk beds are just some of the suggestions Think King has (I particularly like the bunk-bed idea) but it's limited only by your imagination. If you can wrap a piece of velcro around something, then chances are you can stick a Buggy Cup to it too.

If you're looking to find a place for the kid in the top bunk to keep his water at night, or if you just want a place to keep that caramel macchiato handy, The Soft Buggy Cup is definitely worth checking out.

Mesh Cubes to Curb the Mess

Every now and then I’m overcome by a Feng Shui attack. Not in the literal sense like adding fountains to balance the fire and water energy, but trying to regain sanity by getting the house in order. The challenge is finding storage bins, containers, baskets, etc. that aren’t as much of an eyesore as the crap you’re trying to contain in the first place. But I think I found them.

Sold in sets of five, these Silver Wire Mesh Cubes from Organize.com allow you to customize a good-looking storage system for toys, clothes, linens or whatever other essentials that need a home of their own. The cubes simply snap together with plastic connectors.
