The Portable Pram Fan from Amazon, usually priced at £14.99, is currently on sale for £12.74 until August 22, offering parents a way to keep babies cool during the heatwave. The black version is reduced, while a baby pink version costs £13.29 (down from £17.99).
Flexible design for prams, cots, and more
Unlike most handheld fans that come with a mini base, this fan features a flexible claw-type attachment at the bottom that can be moulded into multiple positions. It can be spread out like a tripod for flat surfaces or wrapped around pram handles, cot edges, or car headrests, allowing precise angling for a steady stream of cool air.
The fan is designed for use around infants, with gaps on the cover measuring just 5mm apart to prevent little fingers from getting stuck. It charges via USB and can be used while charging, with a battery life of between 4.5 and 15 hours depending on the speed setting. Three speed modes are available, and it is designed to operate quietly to avoid waking sleeping babies.
Shopper reviews praise cooling power
The fan has been a hit with Amazon shoppers. One reviewer said: “Very good pram fan, lasts for very many hours (I used it for 2 days in a row without charging), power is amazing, cools baby down quickly.” Another added: “Purchased this for the heatwave in the UK and the fact that I have a 4 month struggling in it. The build quality so far has been solid and I will be sure to update this review later down the line. The fan has 3 power settings and it has lasted me around 3-5 hours depending on the mode I am using. It keeps my wee boy cool also, it’s a life saver.”
However, some users reported issues. One said: “Working fine but does move around a lot.” Another noted: “I loved my fan but one of the legs has fallen off and won’t reattach to the pram :( gutted as we loved it! Only used on our holiday! Would love a replacement if possible.”
Alternatives from Boots and Argos
Other options include the Munchkin Stroller Fan from Boots for £19.99, which has flexible legs, four fan speeds, 360-degree pivoting, an eight-hour battery life, and multi-colour LED lights. Argos offers the Dreambaby Deluxe Pushchair/Home/Office Flexi Grip Fan for £12, which runs on two AA batteries and can also be attached to various surfaces.
