Abstract

A bottle and / or can holder including a strap of nylon webbing looped at one end through a square ring and back through a cinch buckle for length adjustment. The ring is also connected to a short loop of webbing that encircles a Velcro-adjustable cuff for attachment to a child carrier, car seat, wrist or the like. The other end of the strap is sewn to a larger Velcro-adjustable compression cuff for attachment around a bottle, can or the like. The compression cuff has a non-slip rubber (neoprene) strip sewn into the cuff to securely grip the container that it holds. An alternate embodiment of the invention comprises a bottle / can tether including a fixed strap attached to a triangular carabiner at one end, and to a Velcro-adjustable cuff at the opposing end. This cuff is for attachment around a bottle, can or the like, and it has a non-slip rubber (neoprene) strip sewn into it to securely grip the container that it holds. When applied, the devices will securely tether a bottle or can and prevent ground contact and spillage if, for instance, a baby throws his bottle.
