I was having the same problem with her not being able to reach the bottle. We were remedying it by me handing her back a bottle while we were in motion. In retrospect, that's not really ideal. I'll be on the lookout for that attachment.

There is always the
DXP bag which is 1500 ci instead of the DX bag's 800 ci. I went with the
new 2008 model DXP bag which is only 1220 ci. Mainly because I just really liked the look of it and the updated materials.
Considering you would need to somehow get your hands on a bracket to make that crate modification, you may just want to shell out for their
MTX rear basket. Probably would look a lot nicer too
