Recommendations for Stroller Fan: USB or Batteries?

[Amy Wiktor]

What stroller fan do you love? Do the fans that charge via USB actually work for hours? Or should I stick w/ a battery one? Thanks!!

I have a usb one that we could use for an entire day before recharging. It was from amazon. I actually left our battery operated one at home and panicked, so I ordered one from amazon on the car ride to FL, and it came the next day. This summer at our local parks, zoo, etc, I’ll be using the USB one.

We have this USB fan. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FFWG0I8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We found it lasts all day at the parks. We always recharge it every night though. We could probably recharge it with our battery charger, but we have never needed to do that.

We've had both and prefer the USB ones. I'm going to buy some more and my SIL keeps 3-4 in rotation. They feel a little stronger and much easier to recharge.

I'm not sure which actually lasts longer, but for us the battery ones have always been a hassle. They die at inconvenient times and you have to lug around spare batteries.

I'd like to piggy back on this thread. We have a 10 month old and a 4 year old and are renting a double stroller. DS4 only sits in strollers at home for big walks or day trips, and after a significant amount of walking. DS10 months easily sleeps in a stroller, DS4 hasn't for years. So based on this scenario, would you buy 2 stroller fans or 1 to share. We'll be going in September (hot hot hot), but have no real use for this in our everyday lives (Canadian, lol). Thanks so much!!!!

I don't have experience with 2 kids, but can tell you that for Sept heat, you will want 2. Maybe three and keep one for you!

Lol! Been a while since I've been in September, how quickly we forget!
