Why Clip-On Fans for Baby Strollers Are a Summer Lifesaver

One of the most concerning seasonal challenges parents must face is the incessant heat affecting your young children during the summer. Shade from a stroller canopy can provide adequate protection from harmful UV rays, but if there is no air movement then concerns about heat stroke may arise. Heat stroke is life threatening and one of the leading causes of non-vehicle-related child deaths under 14 years of age. While heat stroke is the extreme, general discomfort is the main concern for babies in the sun extended periods of time. The challenge for parents is realizing that there will be times when the nanny isn’t available, and you must buckle your baby up in the stroller in order to get the errands done.

Cool on the Go’s Baby Stroller Fan Solution

Cool on the Go has developed a solution for air circulation within a stroller canopy with their clip-on fans for baby strollers. The concept of the clip-on baby stroller fan was developed in South Florida, a state well accustomed to the heat, during the summer of 2010 by founder Rey Cantin. The clip-on fans have gained popularity through our well-thought out product design, which provides the safety and functionality necessary for parents to rely on daily throughout the summer months. If you live in a warmer state, such as Florida or Arizona, our clip-on fans for baby strollers are helpful all year round. If you are planning a family vacation to somewhere tropical, bringing the clip-on stroller fan is a necessity.

Flexibility of the Clip-On Stroller Fan

Our stroller fan can easily and safely be clipped onto the edge of the stroller canopy or the stroller itself. As a safety precaution, Cool on the Go recommends the stroller fan is only clipped on those locations rather than above your child’s head to prevent it from falling. The clip is very large and sturdy, gripping the canopy tightly without falling off. Aside from the clip option, the fan also contains a belt loop if you decide you’d like to secure it to the stroller with a strap. The fan comes with a lanyard that you can secure to the legs of the stroller, or secure to the canopy as well. If you’re carrying your child, you can sling the lanyard around your neck which provides some breeze for yourself. The lanyard measures 18.5 inches long but is adjustable to any length. Cool on the Go truly designed our clip-on fans for baby strollers with flexibility in mind; we understand that not every stroller is the same and the more options for securing the fan, the better.

Prominent Design Features

The fan weighs less than 2 lbs, with a length of 6 inches, a height of 2.25 inches, and width of 4 inches. We have created our stroller fans with adjustable speeds and up to four hours of continuous battery life. The clip-on fan operates without batteries and can be charged through a wall D/C input. As a backup or for extended life, four AA alkaline batteries can keep your fan running longer than 4 hours until it can be charged again. A/C Adapters, a Goose Neck Mount, and USB Car Adapters are other options sold separately to make charging and device mounting even easier.

Cool on the Go has designed the stroller fan’s blade to be hidden behind a plastic cage to prevent your child from injuring themselves. Cheaper fans usually have sharp blades moving too quickly for young babies, or they operate so slowly that it doesn’t provide much effect. The advantage of our design is that you and your child can safely pick up the entire plastic frame without ever touching the blades, also allowing the adjustable speed to be faster than a normal handheld fan. The clip-on fan can be easily stored in the pockets of your stroller or in a diaper bag for easy access.

The color caps on the unit are color customize-able with blue, red, purple and green covers to match your stroller or baby’s outfit. The case covering the internal fan is off white and can easily be wiped clean. You can personalize your clip-on fan for baby strollers with a photo, logo or customized name.

Why Purchasing a Baby Stroller Fan Truly Matters

When it comes to children, risk mitigation is one of the smartest ways to keep them safe. Babies and infants have no way to verbally express the signs of heat stroke, so unless you are monitoring their temperature there may be no way of telling if they are getting too warm in their stroller. Our clip-on fans for baby strollers give you, as the parent and protector, peace of mind when rushing out the door on a warm day. Caregivers and nannies can also benefit from our product by purchasing one to stick in your car for hot days.

Cool on the Go’s clip-on fans for baby strollers have one of the most versatile designs on the market, with many different options for clipping or strapping it onto the sides of your stroller or the stroller canopy.  With all of the features and included accessories, our fan is very cost effective and works better than the cheaper, flimsy models with uncovered blades. Consider Cool on the Go’s clip-on fans for baby strollers the best summer accessory to keep your baby comfortable in the heat.
