L.S.
I have a regent and don't see how the above cupholder would work frankly. But then the close up shots aren't loading so I could be wrong. We had a cupholder on our old Graco and my son used it. I thought it might be an issue, but it hasn't been. He keeps his sippy to the side or between his legs when I drive. Also, there is a mesh pocket on the side that he will sometimes use.
Really, the Regent is so worth it even without the cupholder. You won't regret purchasing it.
