The 8 Best Fans For Strollers

This wiki has been updated 22 times since it was first published in November of 2018. It's hard to enjoy the outdoors if your little one gets hot and sweaty while taking a ride in the pram, so consider one of these portable fans, which move a surprising amount of air given their small size. Most of these models can run either on battery power or while plugged into a USB port, and their clips will keep them in place no matter how much your stroller handle jiggles and bounces.

1. Comlife F150

With its high-capacity batteries, the Comlife F150 (appx. $23) can blow for up to 32 hours on a single charge. It even features a USB output port, so that you can use it as an emergency power supply for your phone. And the clip opens wide enough that you can attach it almost anywhere.

Includes usb cable
Charges fully in 4 hours
Can use as an essential oil diffuser

2. Puaida Mini

Small enough to fit in a purse or diaper bag when not in use, the Puaida Mini (appx. $19) is a cute little option that will unobtrusively keep your baby cool. Its housing swivels 360 degrees on both the horizontal and vertical axes, so you can point the breeze anywhere you like.

Virtually silent

3. SkyGenius Clip-On

The SkyGenius Clip-On (about $19) features a multi-swivel operation, so you can point the airflow anywhere you want, and a brushless motor that makes it nearly silent. Its battery delivers up to 6 hours of use on a full charge, and sports a cute sky blue color.

4. Accering Portable

You can be sure to find the right angle and placement with this Accering Portable (appx. $17), which can bend and twist to direct the air exactly where you want it. Its built-in battery keeps the blades turning for up to five hours, or you can use it while plugged in.

5. Gazeled 5-Inch

7. Opolar Clip-On

With its high-capacity battery, you can get up to 48 hours of operation with the Opolar Clip-On (appx. $25), which is among the largest USB models. Even on its fastest speed, you should get as many as 7.5 hours of use on a single charge, and the airflow is impressive.

Three speed settings

One of the highest-priced options

8. Livion Fanimal

If you want something that will catch baby's eye as well as keep her cool, then the Livion Fanimal (about $25) might be for you. Available in nine adorable animal styles, it features a long goose neck that you can bend into position and a strong clamp for secure placement.
