6 of the best pram fans, for all types of pushchairs and buggies in 2025
We’ve rounded up an array of pram and pushchair fans from budget buys to bladeless fans to find the safest and most reliable option for your child
When temperatures soar, you'll want to be sure that your baby or toddler is as comfortable and cool as possible while you're out and about. Pulling down the hood on your carrycot or stroller seat will keep them in shade, but you may want to go one step further by investing in a fan to attach to your pram. A clip-on or mini fan fastens to the frame of your pushchair (usually on the hood, handlebar or bumper bar) and angles towards your child to circulate air and create a breeze.
Although they all serve similar purposes, there are a number of features to look out for in these fans. A rechargeable or USB fan saves you from having to stock up on batteries, while a bladeless design is great if you can't easily mount it out of reach. You might even be able to find a fan with water, or one that has multiple blades to reach different angles.

Best pram fans to keep your child cool this summer
1. Skip Hop Portable Bladeless Stroller Fan, £24.99
- Best bladeless pram fan
Power: USB Charging | Speed settings: 3
Pros:
- Bladeless
- 3 speed settings
- Universal mount
- Rechargeable battery
Cons:
- Battery doesn't last long
- Expensive compared to some others
This simple fan is designed to attach to a range of pushchairs using a universal mount that can be tightened easily to ensure it is secure. It's small and compact, around the size of a phone. The bladeless design is ideal if your child has a tendency to grab at anything on the pram, and it's easily adjusted to help find the perfect angle.
There are 3 speed settings that will help you tailor the breeze to your child's preference, and the pram fan is rechargeable using the supplied USB cable – though there's no plug supplied.
Available from: Amazon
2. Winique Stroller Fan, £19.99
- Best flexible mounting pram fan
Power: USB Charging | Speed settings: 3
Pros:
- Flexible mounting options
- Quiet motor
Cons:
- Gaps in the cage are quite large
- Bulky and quite heavy
The ‘Octopus tripod’ mount on the Winique Stroller Fan means you can securely attach the fan to a wide variety of surfaces without worrying about it falling off, just twist the multiple 'legs' around the pushchair frame, hood or bumper bar.
The fan charges by USB, and has a quiet motor that it claims helps to keep noise below 57dB. It also has a built-in LED light that may not be helpful when facing your child, but may be useful if you want to use the fan in other places too.
While the fan does have plastic blades, they are contained within a cage with a curved mesh cover to prevent children touching the blades - though you'll still want to mount this out of reach if you can.
The adjustable tripod means this'll fit on virtually anything, and can be quickly angled or adjusted. During the heatwave it has been a godsend.

3. Munchkin Pushchair Fan, £20
- Best 360 degree pivot pram fan
Power: Rechargeable | Speed settings: 4
Pros:
- Up to 8 hour battery life
- LED lights
- 360 pivot
- Easy to use
Cons:
- Gaps in the cage maybe too big for small fingers
Another fan with flexible mounting arms, Munchkin's design a little more streamlined with only two arms, which reduces the overall weight making this a good option for lightweight and compact strollers. It has a 360 degree pivot to quickly manoeuvre the fan to find the best setup for your child, or you can always use this to point it at yourself for a bit too.
This model is also rechargeable, with an impressive battery life of up to 8 hours, and 4 speed settings. There are also gentle coloured LED lights designed to provide entertainment for your child.
Available from: Argos
4. Dreamegg Baby Pram Fan, £34.99
- Best hidden blade pram fan
Power: USB | Speed Settings: 4 including eco mode
Pros:
- LED display
- Timer settings
- Hidden blades
Cons:
- Expensive
- Limited battery life at higher speed settings
Dreamegg's premium pram fan has a whole host of smart features, from the LED display that helps keep tabs on battery life, to the eco mode that extends battery life to over 12 hours (from 3 at its highest speed).
However, the features most parents will value are hidden blades at the front and a very tightly-spaced grill at the back, making this a safe buy for curious children. Dreamegg claims it's safe enough to be chewed – and the silicone used in its construction is food grade for this reason.
The fan also comes with built-in lights and 3 timer settings, and is designed to be used beyond the pram, on a cot or car seat too. Although expensive, if you're looking for a multipurpose option that'll become part of your daily routine, this could be the one.
Available from: Amazon
5. Dreambaby USB Deluxe Rechargeable Clip-on Stroller Fan, £15.99
- Best clip-on pram fan
Power: USB | Speed settings: 3
Pros:
- Easy to use
- USB charging
- Sturdy mount
Cons:
- Clip may limit where it can be attached
- Mesh cover gaps are wider
The Dreambaby USB fan is a great option if you’re looking for something that can be clipped on in seconds and moved around easily. If you're looking to fasten your fan onto the hood of your pram or pushchair, this will be a more suitable option than a fan with flexible legs/arms which may not grip well onto fabric.
There is a cage around the blades, though the gaps in the plastic mesh aren’t as small as they are on some other fans so supervision is key. The fan charges quickly via USB, and there are 3 speed settings.
It has a very sturdy grip so it’s very easy to position onto the buggy and my 3 year old really enjoys the cooling breeze.
Available from: Amazon
6. Dreambaby Portable Stroller Fan, £6.99
- Best gentle pram fan
Power: 2 AA batteries | Speed settings: 1
Pros:
- Foam blades
- Colourful options
Cons:
- Mount isn't super secure
- Foam does limit power
Rather than having three flexible mounting arms, this option has a clip with a flexible stem, so you can twist and bend for the right angle. The fan has soft foam blades, so if little fingers do manage to stretch enough to reach them, the risk of injury is much lower than with more solid options.
The downside of this, of course, is less overall power, but that's reflected in the price, and together they make this a great choice for very small babies who need something more gentle. You can then consider upgrading once your baby becomes a toddler.
As another plus, this fan comes in multiple colours for a bit of added fun.

How to use a pram fan
A pram fan is an incredibly useful piece of parenting kit but, like anything attaching to your child's pushchair, there are a few safety considerations you should be aware of before making a purchase.
First and foremost, it is important to always follow the manufacturer's instructions so you can ensure tiny fingers are kept safe. Each fan comes with different specifications, so it's important to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the one you purchase.
We’ve made sure to select products with narrow gaps, bladeless operation or concealed blades, but it’s always important to make sure your child's cannot fit through the cage before securing it to their pram.
Different pram fans have different mounting options, so make sure that the fan is fastened securely and checked regularly to ensure that there's no risk of it falling off. What mounting option you choose will depend on your pushchair and where you plan on positioning the fan.
Avoid positioning it near any long hair that may become caught and, where possible, tie back your child's hair to prevent it becoming tangled. It's also worth noting that pram fans are only intended to be used with adult supervision, so never leave your child unattended with the fan.
As much as fans can help to keep your child cool, babies can still overheat in the warm weather. See our advice on how to help your baby sleep safely in hot weather and make sure you're aware of all the signs of heat exhaustion in a young child.
Using a pram fan in combination with a sunshade, cover or parasol and an SPF 50+ sunscreen will ensure your child is safe and cool in the warm weather.
