This organizer works fine with my Maclaren stroller. My only complaint is that you can't put drinks (except for water bottles) in the drink holders. Besides that, I really like it.

I bought this stroller organizer to add storage space to my Maclaren Quest. If I bought it to hold water bottles only, I would give it five stars. Overall, it does not meet my needs for organization.

The organizer was easy to install, but I find it gets in my way when I am using the stroller. It blocks my view of the levers to close the stroller, because of how low it hangs. I find it to be too deep to hold anything I want to reach easily. I may sew it so it is several inches shorter, but as it is, I keep the raincover for the stroller in there, and nothing else. I do like having a place for my water bottles, and I can put a can of soda in the cup holders as well. In my opinion, they could have made a better organizer, and it probably should have been included in the price of the stroller.

The drink holders on this thing are pathetic unless you have a little tiny water bottle. Forget about putting a paper coffee cup in them because first of all it takes 2 hands to squeeze it in the holder and who has 2 free hands with a baby? Secondly, due to the soft design the cup tips over so unless your beverage has a lid that closes you end up with half the beverage all over the place.

The only good thing about this overpriced bag is that it provides a little more space to carry stuff since the basket under my Maclaren stroller is quite small.

We bought this organizer because my diaperbag was too heavy for our stroller maclaren. It can hold on only a small bottle of water or a baby bottle (forgot your soda or coffee!). It's design for like stuff like soft toys or extra clothes. Personnaly it works for me. Really depend what you are looking for.

Although this product certainly serves its function for us (and as others have said, really it's designed for skinnier water bottles with tight fitting caps, as opposed to your Venti Chai Latte).

My biggest beef with this product is that it does not function as the image would lead you to believe. The photo shows that the bottom of the mesh sack attaches to the stroller frame ... it does not. It appears that there are two black straps, but the actual product does not have this. They may have used velcro or a different version of the item for the product shot.

Since it does not attach to the frame, the mesh bag sort of dangles off the back of your stroller. When you collapse and fold the stroller, it still dangles and flops backwards when you toss your stroller into the back of your vehicle.

Aside from this, we love the fact that we now have a spot to stash our mobile phone, camera, and water bottles when we're taking a walk or making our way through an airport.

UPDATE: it appears that the product image has been updated. The original image showed the base of the organizer attached to the stroller instead of hanging free, flapping around.

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I could not fit anything in the cup holder but a baby bottle. I found this product completely useless for my needs. My McLaren already has a pocket that I can put small things in. I would skip this one.

One of the things that I really like about the maclaren stroller is that it has the carrying strap when it's folded. This strap gets in the way when you want to put something in the large pouch. I agree with the other reviewers that it is not good for drinks that don't have lids, but primarily drink water so it is good for me!

Got this for the Maclaren Volo. Does everything it's advertised to do, but I tried putting non-bottled drinks (like from McDonald's) in the cupholders...it doesn't work though; the cupholders are too narrow and your cup will be too top-heavy and spill everywhere. Also, you can't put much in the bag because when you take your kid out of the stroller it will tip over backwards. OK if you're only putting a couple of LIGHT toys inside but not worth the money, considering there's a small basket under the stroller anyway.

I bought this caddy to go with my McClaren Triumph Stroller. The cup holders are really hard to use and not very stable. My drink either falls through the bottom or tips over and makes a mess. The velcro straps start to come undone if you have a lot of stuff in it. Overall it's not a very well made product, you could probably find a different product that works better.

I found this item to come in pretty handy. I mainly use it as a key and wallet holder when I don't feel like bringing a purse in the mall or just while I'm out and about. I would love this product much more if I could fit more than just water bottles in the holders. I would definitely NEVER put any hot liquids in these 'cup holders.' If the cup you have is over the size/weight of a water bottle, it will probably tilt and pour out of the container. Other than that, I believe it's a pretty good product.
