  • Publication number: 20060289713
    Abstract: The cup tether is an elastic strap having a first end and a second end and a childproof fastener at one end forming the end into a loop and an elastic loop on the other end. The tether is designed so that one end is attached to an anchor such as a frame of a toddler's seat, a car seat, a stroller, a highchair, or other somewhat stationary object, and the elastic loop end is attached to a drinking container, e.g. a child's sippy cup, and baby bottle. One end is secured around the anchor by wrapping the end portion of the strap around the anchor and securing the strap in place with a fastener, preferably a childproof buckle. The container is secured using the elastic loop and the cup is slipped in or the loop is adjusted. The buckle with the fastener and a second buckle for the elastic loop side permit the size of the loop to be adjusted. The cup tether limits the distance the drink container can be thrown and permits easy retrieval of the container.
