Quick answer
Attach the Dune/Reef cup holder to your pram chassis before loading it with a drink, then check the fit each time you unfold. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, and avoid putting it in the dishwasher.
Why the attachment point matters more than the cup
The Dune/Reef cup holder is designed to attach to the pram chassis, not the seat fabric or canopy. Fixing it to a structural part of the frame keeps the holder steady when you push over kerbs or uneven pavement. If you clamp it to a moving joint or a soft panel, the holder can tilt and spill even a small drink.
Choose a spot that does not interfere with folding the pram or with your stride. On most prams, the lower frame near the handle is a practical position, but check that the holder stays clear of your knees and does not block the brake pedal.
Drinks that suit the expanding fit — and ones that don't
The holder uses an expanding fit to grip a range of drinks containers, bottles and cups. That flexibility is useful for everything from a slim water bottle to a wider coffee cup, but very narrow or very wide containers may not sit securely. Test your usual cup before you rely on it for a full day out.
Avoid open-top cups without lids, especially on bumpy routes. Even a well-fitted holder can allow a little movement, and a lid is the simplest way to prevent spills on your pram or your child.
Cleaning without loosening the fit
Wipe the holder with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry fully before reattaching. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive sponges, which can degrade the expanding material over time. Remove the holder from the chassis for cleaning so you can reach the inside of the grip.
Do not put the cup holder in a dishwasher unless the care label explicitly says it is dishwasher safe. High heat can warp the expanding fit and reduce its grip.
How to fit and use the Dune/Reef cup holder
- Choose the mounting spot: With the pram unfolded and the brake on, find a section of the Dune or Reef chassis that is rigid, clear of folding joints, and within easy reach. Hold the empty holder against the frame to check it does not interfere with your stride or the brake. If the spot flexes when you press it, choose a firmer section of the frame.
- Attach the holder to the chassis: Clip or clamp the holder onto the chosen chassis section following the fitting instructions supplied with it. It should sit level and feel firm when you press down gently on the empty holder. A holder that twists easily is not fully seated — reposition it before adding a drink.
- Test with your usual cup: Place your typical drinks container into the holder and check that the expanding grip holds it without tipping. Give the pram a gentle push and turn to see how much movement there is. If the cup leans noticeably, try a different container or adjust the holder's position.
- Check before every outing: Each time you unfold the pram, glance at the holder to confirm it is still secure and has not been knocked loose during folding or storage. Re-seat it if it has shifted. Make this check part of your unfold routine so a loose holder never surprises you mid-walk.
- Remove and clean regularly: Take the holder off the chassis, wipe it inside and out with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let it dry completely before refitting. Avoid dishwashers and harsh cleaners unless the care instructions say otherwise. Clean the grip area thoroughly — sticky residue there reduces the expanding fit's hold.
