If you happen to own a Frank Green drink bottle, a Hydro Flask or any other reusable bottle brand that carries more than a litre of hydration, then you’ll know just how painful it is to put your drink bottle into one of your car’s cup holders, only to find it doesn’t fit.

While we aren’t exactly opposed to storing it in the back seat, it’s not our first preference, given it requires making that awkward backwards gymnastics move just to take a swig of liquid — all before the red light turns green again. So, to avoid this saga entirely (without having to buy a new drink bottle), the best way to level up your single cup holder is to buy a car cup holder extender.

These little devices are making the rounds on TikTok, with many users showing off how great they are at storing both big drink bottles as well as soups cups, noodles, bubble tea and more. Some even offer four cup holders in one, so for all of you who like to have coffee, water and a juice on-the-go at once, you can finally rejoice.

Our top car cup holder extender picks 

Adjustable 2-in-1 Car Seat Cup Holder, $12.60

This handy little addition to your car will not only take your single cup holder to the next level by allowing you to store two cups at a time but it’s designed to extend out to make storing bulkier items (like that emotional support water bottle of yours) much easier.

All you have to do is set the initial cup down and twist out the second holder. Our hot tip is to ensure that you have something in the base holder before you take that secondary holder for a whirl because it’ll ensure it weighs down the attachment, resulting in no leaks or spills.

Similar to its predecessor, this baby does the exact same thing. Only you’ll get four cup/ water bottle holders instead of just two. This is perfect for big families or for those of you who like ~variety~ while driving.

Relatively new to the scene is this lil’ drink bottle holder that we found via TikTok. While it doesn’t offer any multi-cup storage like the other options, it’s a good single-cup expander to carry your chunky drinks if that’s all you need. It’s also been made with Frank Green and Hydro Flask bottles in mind, so rest assured that you’ll finally be able to bring them along in the front console.
