This cup holder SUUUUUCKS! Britax has really blown it with this car seat/cup holder situation. First of all, the Clicktight Advocate is such an outrageously expensive car seat that it should absolutely COME WITH A CUP HOLDER!!! How greedy can this stupid company be? Second of all, the "instructions" for attaching this cupholder are so pathetic and unclear, it's absurd. It's just pictures--no words, save a few "cautions." I made the mistake of calling Britax to ask for clarification on how the hell to install this impossible accessory and got an incredibly unhelpful, unfriendly rep named Brenda. Trying to explain the difficulty verbally without being able to show Britax/Brenda was nearly impossible. You can see from the pictures that the opening on the cupholder clip where you slide the holder down onto the car seat appears to be about half as long as it needs to be, as I see it. She kept telling me to just push/shove it down through the crack/gap where the seatbelt would go, and it would "click" in. But when I pushed it down, it pulled the gray plastic section of the car seat away, bending it. That seems like a terrible design if that's how it's supposed to attach, or terrible instructions if it's not. I finally got it clicked in, just to find that when I went to close my car door, it hit the cup holder and wouldn't close. This doesn't happen with car seats w/ built-in cup holders. So I had to detach it and struggle all over again to put it on the other side of car seat. The rubber piece on the cup holder would hold cups/bottles so tightly that I finally had to take it off so my kiddo could actually get her cup out. Of course, to do this, you have to take the cup holder off again. There isn't a cup/liner within the cupholder that's easily removable, like if drinks spill or the holder gets dirty, so if you ever want to clean it, you have to remove it again. Then struggle to put it back on. It's SUCH a pain in the #*@, I can't truly convey it. I just tried putting it back on yesterday, and after several minutes trying to remember how I'd done it, which I thought was just really jamming it down, as Brenda instructed, it broke. I'm going to call Britax about replacing it... and hope to get someone who's not Brenda.
