Adding rear seat cupholders?

[ItalianAmerican]

Hi Folks, brand new Grenadier owner here with a question. I'm ok without the center fold out armrest in the rear, but the kids and wife are on me about the lack of cup holders for the many long trips we take. And the ones I've seen seem to make it impossible to have three people in the rear, if need be.

Found this option of a pop-out recessed cup holder, see link below, but wondering if anyone who is more engineering minded could tell me if it could/would work? In lifting up the seats and looking, it seems possible but not a simple bolt on solution. I'm mechanically inclined but looking to understand design issues that I may not be thinking of before I buy it.

In Australia your kids have to be over 18 to drink... legally of course.

Why did I know that the cup holder thread has been started by an US American

I have been meaning to post about this same thing.

Yes, I’m American, but having cup holders for kids in the rear saves from having spilt drinks everywhere. The door side pockets just don’t do the job.

I didn’t mean any offence. It’s just a topic that for whatever reason mostly is started in North America.
When we travel with the kids they all get one bottle of plain water, which can be stored without problems in the door pockets.
However they still make a mess as soon as the start eating .
Happily the grow up and it isn’t that bad anymore.

Damn that seems pricey.

No offense.

It is stupid, but kids in the US have these big metal cups they reuse and it is a bit of a status symbol. They don’t fit in the side pockets. First world problems, no doubt
