Drive Medical Nitro Clip-On Cup Holder for Walker, Black

The custom design of this sturdy cupholder for my Nitro Drive walker is wonderful. It also includes a cane holder in the same package which is an added bonus. No directions come with the package so you are left to wonder how hard do you push the cup holder plastic mounting piece to install onto the side bar of your walker. Yes, you just push the cup holder into place on the side bar. The cup holder is quite sturdy and holds both soft drink cans as well as a Contigo cooling thermos of water. I gave it four stars because I wish I could remove it when we put the walker in the car for trips. It's a bit more bulky sticking out on the side but then ALL cupholders on walkers tend to do that. Thanks for creating this cup holder for our walkers Drive. I've had my walker for over two years and the larger wheels on this walker give me so much more freedom then a standard walker. It may cost more but its worth it! 2 months later - I LOVE THIS CUP HOLDER. We are traveling for a few months and my walker is going in and out of our van constantly, yet the cup holder has taken the push here and there with no problems although I'm not rough on things so that helps too. I now give it FIVE stars. Thanks Drive!

The perfect replacement for old cup holder. Fit perfectly and sturdy

I purchased a second Drive Nitro rollator to supplement the Heavy Duty one I have had for 3 years because the door frame to my apartment's bathroom is 23" and to the bedroom is 25". While I could tug the handle on the seat of the HD model and draw in the sides somewhat, it made it more difficult to maneuver and much less secure for my current needs. The rear wheels on the standard Drive Nitro *just* make it through the 23" doorway into the bathroom with the door itself removed. And the Drive cup holder that I clamped to the right side does not fold flush, but does so enough so that it doesn't extend past the wheelbase and get caught on the door frame. Because it's definitely not designed to be slipped off and on. It clamps on securely enough to hold the 24 oz blender bottle I use for my water because of the secure lid, and the opening is just large enough to hold it securely without forcing the cup into the holder. Better yet, there's a small side slit in the cup holder that makes it easy for me to slide my largish cell phone into the holder so that it's always within reach as I move around the apartment. Probably not what it was designed for, but it's the use I put it to most often. It's sturdy enough that I don't worry it will snap or crack if I do have it fully extended and navigate poorly, accidentally catching it on a door frame or cabinet, but it's usually tucked towards the frame in a way that keeps it within the wheelbase and reasonably safe from random bumps. I hesitated to purchase it because I had read poor reviews about the cup holder several years ago, but it definitely seems as if improvements have been made since then. This is not an expensive add-on for your rollator, and well worth the price.

The only reason it's not 5 stars is because in some positions on the walker (Drive Nitro) the cup holder tilts a little. In others it can get into a fight with the walls. It is very well made though. Sturdy. Nice to have. Easily movable. Fits snug onto the walker (Drive Nitro). It will carry a glass or a coffee cup (has a handle slot). Since I first wrote the above, I have found that it is quite easy to separate the clip on the cup holder from the arm which holds the cup holder. It has come apart when I inadvertently leaned onto it when the walker was collapsed and in the car. Several times I have forgotten to take it off when folding up the walker and it has separated. When it was hooked onto the outside arm of the walker it has come apart by striking the door facing in a narrow doorway. Finally, when it's been clipped to the inside of the walker, my husband has sat down on the walker seat which means he sat on the cup holder. He also struck it pretty solidly with the tray he uses on the seat of the walker, causing it to "break". I've lost count of the number of times it has come apart. So far, I've been able to repair it and it's still working fine, although sometimes the "fix" causes it to be a little less level. Would not suggest clipping it to the inside of the walker frame of dementia patients who forget and sit down on it. Suggest hanging it on the outside of the walker frame, but being certain the walker + cup holder can make it through your doorways, or that you remove under certain conditions. It is much better to have a cup holder than have a walker patient try to carry a beverage and use the walker. (The pictures would not go into the order I wanted them to go, but I think you'll get the idea.) I would change my rating from 4-star to 3-star, but I feel it's our fault that it broke. I'm just glad it was fixable.)

This device is designed to fit the unique frame profile of the Drive Nitro rollator, which is, by itself, is a great product. This cup holder is quite a different story. It clips onto any vertical segment of the frae, staying put by friction. The holder can be moved around by simply applying some pressure to one of the arms of the clip and easing it off the frame. Once relocated, it stays put. The device is designed to allow the holder and the drink (bottle, glass, small cup) to (1) be swivelled horizontally forward, sideways, or backward into a position accessible to the user. This feature works OK. The device is also intended to allow the holder basket to swing in a roughly vertical plane so that the drink itself says vertical and therefore does not spill its contents. HOWEVER, the design of this feature is faulty - a FAIL in a pass/fail grading system. The failure occurs for a single reason - the swivel mechanism is flimsy plastic. To tighten up the rotation (I.e., to "lock" the basket into a steady position in which the cup doesn't relocate itself because of its weight), one must tighten a screw accessible from the frame side of the device. It's impossible to tighten it enough to prevent rotation, so the full drink rotates and cfalls out of the holders basket and dumps on the ground. Attempts by me to solve the issue by adding a lock-washer led to my previous use of the word "flimsy.". Tightening the screw to clench the lock-washer resulted in the screw-head pulling all the way through the clip. That was that for the entire assembly. And all of this destruction was accomplished solely with common hand tools. In summary, this device would have gotten FOUR STARS if the mechanism hadn't let me down. And it would have received FIVE STARS if the basket was a bit larger in diameter. But I still love the my Drive Nitro rollator, a device I've previously reviewed. UPDATE. I noticed another comment on this product citing the same criticisms I had. I finally decided to enact the "kill-or-cure" approach. I disassembled (hex key tool) the frame clip from the cup basket, applied a thin coating of Gorilla Glue to both of the mating surfaces, and re-assembled the two parts. The clamping force of the screw held the surfaces in close contact while the glue dried. HINT: get a good idea what angle you want the basket to be re: the ground, because once the glue sets, that's the angle it will be at unless it breaks or goes into a recycling bin. It solved my problem with it, but as the product ships, it's still a ONE STAR device.

Finally a cup holder for a Nitro! I've been having to jury rig universal cup holders on my Nitro for years....which leads to me inevitably losing a cup or water bottle on the regular as they just don't stick to a Nitro frame well. Which is kind of dangerous because then I'm trying to pick up something that I have to let go of my walker to grab. Bottom line, if you have a Nitro you need this cup holder. No other fits right. It was fairly easy to clip on and I love the fact that I can rotate it which makes it easier to get through doorways with a drink. I've gotten it to hold a variety of mugs, cups and water bottles. If Drive were to improve this then they need to look into making it able to hold a standard hospital mug. About the widest thing I can fit in it is a 12 oz ball jar. Anything wider is a no go so my hospital mugs are out. So are my wider coffee cups and tea cups. That is my only con with cup holder.

I,ve had two of these for my Drive Nitro rollator. Easy to install and holds cup securely, but...very poor design for durability. Any pressure on the cup holder where it is fastened to the clamp will snap it off - and you cannot snap it back together because the screw stretches the hole when it pulls out. Definitely a design flaw! I’ve wasted $20 on two holders that lasted less than a few months. I do NOT recommend this holder!

specifically designed to fit/clip on the inside or outside of the painted upright bar of the Drive Euro Rollator/walker, rotates around a flat axis from front to back; fits standard and slightly oversized cups or water bottles but is not particularly tall; made of strong material. Only problem is that when it is attached to the outside of the upright bar the cupholder makes the whole walker an inch or two wider than normal so it is harder to fit through doorways as this catches on the door frame. When it is attached to the inside of the upright bar, it encroaches on the space between the uprights and pokes you where your butt goes when you try to sit on the seat. Might be a better place to position it but I haven't found it yet.

A great little cup holder for the Drive Nitro. It rotates to help with transport in the car.

La idea es muy útil pero el mío salió defectuoso. Se vence y hace que las bebidas se derramen.

I've been using this really love this cup holder for more than a month now and really love it. I have problems with dry mouth so am always needing my water bottle. In fact, many people I've run into have noticed it and made positivee comments. The four stars for installation is because it requires someone with strength to put it on (which is often not the person using the walker). The four stars for sturdiness has to do with the (desirable) movent in the holder. The screw on the backside became loose (easily fixed with a screwdriver) and wouldn't stay level. I'd recommend this to anyone who appreciates having a water bottle in tow.

The holder fits the Nitro perfectly, without affecting the hand grips. Been reliable holding full cups of drink. Arrived promptly.

This perfect item. This match to the brand of the item that what Im looking for. It’s great!
