Congratulations on getting your own Mother’s 3^rd Arm^TM “The Extra Hand Whenever You Need One!

Introducing Child To Mother’s 3^rd Arm^TM

It’s important to first patiently introduce Mother’s 3^rd Arm^TM your child by letting them play with it then let them see it mounted by them with their bottle, Sippy cup or container. They may reject it at first, but as long as you keep their milk or other favorite beverage held in it, once they are hungry they will begin to use it and the rest will be history.

Mother’s 3^rd Arm^TM is a safe way for parents to feed their children when there are other pressing things, which are just as important, which need to get done. It is specially designed to attach on most surfaces that are either flat, round, square and even oblong, as long as the surface is not larger than 3 inches.  It attaches to most strollers, car seats, booster seats, high chairs, regular chairs, tables or other surfaces. One must develop an eye for finding the right places to mount it. Once securely mounted, Mother’s 3^rd Arm^TM is used to firmly hold baby bottles, Sippy cups, food cups and drinking cups. It grows with your child. It then transitions to, or doubles as, a craft caddy, holder of paint, coloring pencils, bubble liquid, pacifier, toys and more. And if this was not enough Mom, or Dad, there may not be a more versatile cell phone holder in the car which you can adjust to the most comfortable position, a beverage holder as you drive or holder of other things that you need to keep within close reach. The possibilities are endless.

Mounting Surface Type

How to attach Mother’s 3rd Arm

Medium Non Slippery Round Surface: In case of a non-slippery surface, e.g wood surface. Turn the Clamp Screw counterclockwise until the mouth of Clamp opens enough to fit the round surface into the Clamp Mouth.   Turn the Clamp Screw Clockwise to close its mouth tightly around the round surface. For best results, use a scrip of rubber around the round surface to reduce slipping.   Example: Day time crib, bed or diaper change table.     Flat Round Type Plastic or Metal Surface: Wrap the rubber strip around the flat round surface. The rubber strip made of “Grip it” material strengthens the attachment and makes the mounting surface non slippery.   Turn the bottom knob Counter Clockwise to open the Clamp Mouth until the surface fits into mouth. Next,  turn the Clamp Screw clockwise until its mouth tightly grips around the round surface. Test its firmness as you tighten the clamp down.   Examples: High Chair, Stroller   Thin Slippery Round Metal Surface: Wrap the rubber strip around the arm to thicken the mounting surface.  The rubber strip made of “Grip it” material strengthens the attachment and makes the mounting surface non slippery.   Turn the bottom knob Counter Clockwise to open the Clamp Mouth until the surface fits into mouth. Next,  turn the Clamp Screw clockwise until its mouth tightly grips around the round surface. Test its firmness as you tighten the clamp down.   Examples: High Chair, Stroller   Any Flat Surface: Mother’s 3rd ArmTM can be easily attached to any flat surface without the need of any other accessories. Simply open the Clamp Mouth by turning the Clamp Screw counterclockwise until the table surface fits into the mouth and touches the clamp body, then turn clockwise until it is firmly mounted.

Attaching Mother’s 3^rd Arm to car seat

Infant Car Seat Attachment:

Many car seats will have a clear place to clamp the Mother’s 3^rd Arm,^TM others will not be so simple or clear. You must look for a place to mount towards the side of the seat (unless you have an armrest on the car seat itself as Minivans have) or the anywhere else it can mount. Initially you may have to try different mounting surfaces until you find the right one that both attaches firmly and places bottle holder in child’s reach. If you do not see a clear simple surface then it would be time to get creative as follows:

Mother’s 3^rd Arm^TM can be attached directly to infant car seat in one of two more creative ways.

1. It can be attached directly to the car seat itself; or,
2. It can be attached to the base of the car seat.



Step 1 Step 2

Infant Car Seat Attachment Step 1: Place the rubber strip to the arm of the infant car seat. (Your car seat may look different. Look for the best place to attach Clamp Mouth).   Since some infant car seats have thin sides, it may be best to place a rubber strip to thicken side and produce a workable mounting surface for the clamp to tighten down on.       Step 2: Turn the Clamp Screw counterclockwise until Clamp Mouth opens enough to fit the side and rubber into it then turn the Clamp Screw clockwise until it is tighten enough so the clamp does not move and is able to hold the bottle or Sippy cup. Attach Mother’s 3rd ArmTM to infant car seat arm along with the rubber strip as shown on the left. Turn the bottom knob  Clockwise to Close the clamp.

Step 1 Step 2

Infant Car Seat Base Attachment Step 1: Place the rubber strip to the base of the infant car seat. (Your car seat base may look different. Look for the best place to attach Mother’s 3rd ArmTM)   Since the sides of most infant car seat base is hollow, it is best to place this rubber strip to give you a better platform to mount Mother’s 3rd Arm.TM         Step 2: Turn the bottom knob counterclockwise to open the Clamp Mouth until it can fit the base into its mouth. Then fit the Clamp Mouth around the base and tighten Clamp Screw until you have secured a firm hold.

Toddler / Child Seat Attachment:

Many toddler seats will have surfaces that you can readily see where to mount clamp. Others will require you to be creative. If you have one that requires more attention, be prepared to try it in different ways until you finally get the right position that your child loves.

Booster Seat Attachment:

Regular Car Seat Attachment: 

*	Regular Car Seat Attachment:   Mother’s 3rd Arm can be easily attached to the arm of the car seat.   Simply turn the Clamp Screw counterclockwise until Clamp Mouth opens enough to fit the arm into it then tighten the Clamp Screw until clamp is firm.
