Clippable Portable Fans

[mountain8778]

Anyone every bring small portable fans that can clip onto a stroller for little ones? What did you use and what would you recommend? I am looking to keep my little ones cool during the hot summer. Thanks!

I ordered two this weekend from One Step Ahead, don't know yet how they work but they did get good WDW reviews!

CVS has one that is a clip on with soft blades. Pretty inexpensive too. It was difficult to find but I did find it. Babies R Us has one too.

There was a post on here a few weeks ago and someone had spent the 20 or 30 dollars on the mickey one they sell at the parks and said it was a waste of money and the CVS cheap one was better. I have not used it yet so I can not tell you my personal experience with it.

i know at disney (if they still have it) they have i think donalds sumbarine thing. which would be good for your lil ones get them wet. id buy fans too. just all depends on when your going to. and it worse comes to worse the rain can cool all you guys down.

I bought a couple of fans at walmart yesterday. They had big ones and small ones. I bought the bigger ones (only $6), but now I'm wondering if they will be too big. My concern with the small clipon fans was that I would have to constantly refill them with water. Anybody else have that problem?

I bought 2 from one step ahead. I bought 2 because I thought they looked small. They are pretty small, but they work pretty well. I know my 2 year old will love them when we are at disney next month. they cost about 15 each, which beats buying them at the park for 30 dollars. We also have one of the spray bottle fans that we took last year. It was a lifesaver in the heat. Again buy them at walmart to save tons of money. Also there are tons of water fountians to fill them up at so that was never a problem.

We use the O2 cool misting fan. In the past, I have seen them at drugstores and Walmart.

Everyone in my family gets one (they have different colors) and we refill them at drinking fountains through the day. They work great.

I bought 3 small fans at Wal-greens last week. They were $3.99 each. They are on a necklace like string. They take 2 AA batteries. They work pretty well for the price, and if the kids break or loose them...I am only out a few $$$ instead of $30!

I really wanted some clip on fans for their strollers, but couldn't find any...

I picked up two of these yesterday at Walmart for $3 each. The kids seem excited about them.

I bought the misting fan in the park and it didn't cost $30. It was exactly $17 with tax. I bought it because it was super hot when I was there and I had left my cheapy walmart one in the room, afraid the battery compartment would pop open and I'd lose the batteries. It wasn't a clip on fan, though. Did they sell a different one?

I saw them today at Buy Buy Baby. They were $16.99 but you can use the BB&B or BBB coupon for 20% off. There were also a bunch at WalMart but I think DS will just be interested in unclipping it all day.

Try near the regular floor or desktop fans or where they sell things like beach towels or sun screen.

We used these when we went a few years ago. We rented a Graco stroller from A Baby's Best Friend and used the baby links from home to attach the fan's caribiner to the stroller so it wouldn't be lost.

We also took 2 stroller fans from CVS (under $10 each) and they worked great (actually we never even took the second one out of the package). We clipped it onto the stroller shade, especially when DS was laying down.

We also kept a few folded wet paper towels in with our frozen water bottles and wiped down with those throughout the day.
