What Is the drink-thingy?

The drink-thingy is a simple but brilliant accessory designed specifically for Clek booster seats like the Oobr and Olli. It clips onto the side of the seat, providing a stable holder for your child's drink. Made from durable, easy-to-clean materials, it's built to withstand the bumps and jostles of everyday car rides.

Unlike generic cup holders that may not fit properly, the drink-thingy is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Clek seats. It doesn't interfere with the seat belt or the booster's safety features, so you can use it with confidence. Plus, it's easy to remove when not needed, keeping your car seat sleek and uncluttered.

• Compatible with Clek Oobr and Olli booster seats
• Easy to attach and remove
• Holds most standard cups and bottles securely
• Does not interfere with seat belt positioning

How to Install the drink-thingy on Clek Oobr

Installing the drink-thingy on your Clek Oobr is a straightforward process that takes just a minute. Here's how to do it:

First, locate the side of the Oobr where you want to attach the drink-thingy. It can be installed on either side, but many parents prefer the side opposite the seat belt buckle for easier access. Align the clips on the drink-thingy with the corresponding slots on the seat's armrest. Press firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's securely in place.

Once installed, give it a gentle tug to ensure it's locked. To remove it, simply press the release button (if available) or pull upward with a bit of force. The drink-thingy is designed for quick installation and removal, so you can move it between seats or store it when not in use.

• Choose the side that works best for your child
• Listen for the click to confirm secure attachment
• Test with a cup before the first ride

How to Install the drink-thingy on Clek Olli

The Clek Olli is a backless booster, and the drink-thingy attaches slightly differently. Instead of armrests, the Olli has a sleek, low-profile design. The drink-thingy clips onto the side edge of the seat, using the built-in attachment points.

Align the drink-thingy's clips with the slots on the side of the Olli. Press down firmly until it clicks into place. The installation is secure, but you should always double-check that it's snug before your child sits down. The drink-thingy sits just below the armrest level, so it won't interfere with your child's elbow or the seat belt path.

If you have multiple Olli seats, you can easily move the drink-thingy between them. Just unclip and reattach. This makes it a versatile accessory for families with more than one child.

• Use the attachment points on the side of the Olli
• Ensure it clicks securely before use
• Move it between seats as needed

Tips for Using the drink-thingy Safely

While the drink-thingy is designed with safety in mind, there are a few tips to keep in mind. Always use a cup or bottle that fits snugly in the holder. Loose or oversized containers may tip over during sharp turns. Also, avoid attaching the drink-thingy in a way that obstructs the seat belt or the booster's LATCH connectors.

For younger children, consider using a sippy cup with a spill-proof lid. This minimizes messes and keeps the drink within easy reach. For older kids, a standard water bottle works well. The drink-thingy is also easy to clean—just wipe it down with a damp cloth or remove it and wash with mild soap.

Remember that the drink-thingy is not a toy. Teach your child to use it properly and not to play with it while the car is moving. With proper use, it will serve you well for years.

• Use appropriately sized cups
• Keep the drink-thingy clean
• Instruct children on proper use
