This clever car cup-holder extender holds your extra-large coffee and muffin while you drive

Can you believe there was a time when cars did not come with cup holders? It's true. People used to drive without a cup of coffee, soda or their emotional support bottles! I get parched just thinking about it. But some people are thirstier than others and need a bigger beverage than what can fit in a standard cup holder. Like the savvy shoppers that they are, Amazon customers have discovered the ultimate solution: The Seven Sparta Cup Holder Extender and Tray. This little gadget lets you get your extra large sip on while you're on the road and gives you extra space for a sandwich on the go and right now you can get it for $24 (was $30).

Cup Holder Expander with Tray

$27

This gadget is designed to expand on your car's cupholder — not only does it give you room for a large cup, but it also has an attachable tray where you can put food or any other driving essentials you need to keep handy.

This problem-solver has nearly 2,000 five-star fans and it's really easy to see why. The extender fits inside most cars' cup holder (a 3-inch diameter) and uses it as a base to hold large bottles and tumblers (3.4 to 3.7-inch diameter). That alone has made many Yeti tumbler owners very excited.

"My new car came with really tight cup holders that wouldn’t accommodate my large Yeti," wrote a rave reviewer. "This solved that problem."

The extender features a ring that's used as the second, standard-size cup holder and holds the tray. The tray swivels 360° so you can adjust it to a position that's safe and comfortable even if you need to eat your breakfast at the wheel.

"My husband loves it! He was able to hold two cups (his yeti and Starbucks) and have a tray for his breakfast to boot," shared a happy shopper. "He is traveling to different work sites often and this keeps things organized and mess-free."

"I usually eat in my car on the way to work every day," shared another five-star fan. "Before having this I was struggling with the food and had it spilled several times. Now no more. I enjoy eating my breakfast even more."

Shoppers who spend a lot of time in their cars say it's a game-changer for keeping the cabin neat and organized.

"I am a home care nurse," reported a rave reviewer. "I pretty much live in my car 8-10 hours a day. This is exactly was I needed. It holds a portion of my lunch. It will hold my coffee or soda drink in a reusable or not cup. I have emptied my pockets onto the tray and it holds up well. I'm telling you, it is the best!"

"I travel all over my state for work," shared another nurse. "Always have the passenger seat with my laptop. Now my fries and burger have their own place while I’m driving. And as a nurse, that large cup holder holds a pump of hand sanitizer. Worth the money."

Another driver calls it a 'life saver': "I'm busy all day and before I had my food all over the place. My food holds pretty well on this."
