A bottle holder for an automobile. The bottle holder includes a cradle or similar structure for securing a bottle in a predetermined position, a clamp for securing the bottle holder inside the automobile, and a partially rigid neck connecting the clamp to the cradle. The neck includes a frangible joint which shears in the event of a collision. The cradle and bottle are thereby no longer bound near the feeding child. The frangible joint preferably comprises a prescored tube, which breaks along a predetermined circumferential inscribed line in a collision. The frangible joint is manually removable and installable to the neck, so that it can be renewed should it break. Optionally, a flaccid tether is provided to restrain the freed cradle and bottle from being thrown uncontrollably about the automobile cabin.

A bottle holder for maintaining a bottle in place proximate and accessible to a feeding child, said bottle holder comprising: a cradle and means for engaging a bottle and securing the bottle within said cradle; a clamp for releasably engaging an environmental surface; and a partially rigid neck connecting said clamp to said cradle, said partially rigid neck including a frangible joint and a remaining length, said frangible joint being of predetermined strength of less magnitude of the strength of said remaining length of said partially rigid neck, whereby a shearing force applied to said partially rigid neck will cause said partially rigid neck to break at said frangible joint, said frangible joint comprising a tube having first threads and second threads, said partially rigid neck including third threads cooperating with said first threads of said frangible joint and fourth threads cooperating with said second threads of said frangible joint, whereby said frangible joint is disposed serially within said partially rigid neck and is connected to said partially rigid neck by mutual threading.
