Clip-on fan for stroller

[Iluvpooh&mickey]

I am considering purchasing a small clip-on fan to attach to my 1 1/2 year old's stroller. We will be going to WDW the first week of June and I thought it might make him a little more comfortable in the heat. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which kind to buy? Thanks!

WE had this one and LOVED it, my neice uses it now so it was worth the $$

I also used a clip on umbrella in addition to the sunshade on the stroller. It was nice because you could position it where the sunshade didn't cover for extra sun protection and shade.

Like this but much cheaper at babies r us

We just received our clip on fan from One Step Ahead. It works great. My only complaint is the batteries fit in there soooo tight that I'll have to take along a pair of tweezers to take the dead batteries out. I read on another thread to take one pair of batteries per day for the fan.

We also ordered a sunshade for our Maclaren stroller. The Maclarens have such a tiny sunshade. I learned about this one here on the DIS. It's a Protect-A-Bub Black UPF 50 Stroller Sunshade. If you go to Babies R Us website, type in Protect-A-Bub. My ds is never going to keep a hat or sunglasses on. At least this sunshade will help.

We have the fans and love them! We wouldn't go to Disney without them!

That fan is awesome(somebody stole one of ours last year though) We had 2 on a double stroller. The other thing to mention is that they eat batteries. We went through batteries about once a day.(we were there in july and had them going almost non-stop though) I will be buying one more to replace the one that disappeared last year and buy it early because in the summer they are impossible to find. I was at the right start store in our mall and they said they would be getting them in a few weeks if you don't want to mail order them. But I give them a huge 2 thumbs up Kept our kids actually cool in 100 degree heat!

I forgot about the battery issue, turn it off when you can!! We use rechargables and between pal mickey, the digital camera and the fan we went through them like crazy. Plus the mister fan and the necklace fan my older dd had. I had purchased a large package of the AAA's from BJ's before the trip just in case we ran out of charged rechargables but we didn't need to many. If you end up needing to buy them at WDW they are very expensive so do pack rechargables or extras or both.

I was wondering if they ever get stolen. That's too bad one of yours is gone. I think since they are so easy to clip on and off, I may just put mine in my tote bag each time we go on an attraction.

Thanks for the info.

You know we put them in the basket below our stroller everytime- except once. and that is the time it disappeared. So I think even just placing it below is a good idea. They were bigger than I imagined.

Thanks for all the replies! I had been wondering if they would be stolen. I will have to remember to hide it when we go into an attraction. Thanks for the suggestion on getting a sunshade addition. I am also planning on purchasing a rain cover for the stroller. Thanks again everyone.

I bought one off ebay for about $9.xx including shipping. Just search for stroller fan. We haven't tried one at WDW yet but based on the posts we thought it might be a good idea.
