Summers in Dallas aren't for the faint of heart! Just ask Alex Drummond, who's an expert at staying cool in the warm (read: sweltering) weather after living in the city for so many years. While she, Mauricio, and George might be used to the heat, their newest little family member is experiencing her first Texan summer—and she'll need all the help she can get to stay comfortable. Luckily, Alex already found just the thing to keep baby Sofia happy and cool: a portable stroller fan.

If you've seen Alex's recent Instagram stories, you've probably spotted Sofia relaxing comfortably in her stroller, the little pink fan keeping her cool on their neighborhood strolls. Because walks around the block are so much better when you're not melting into a puddle!

This handy fan isn't just for strollers, though. The flexible tripod legs bend easily around practically anything, so it's perfect wherever your day takes you. Clip it onto a golf cart when the sun is blazing, wrap it around your beach chair during family vacations, set it up on a table while you're dining outside, or attach it to your treadmill to make indoor workouts less sweaty and a whole lot more enjoyable.

Here are the details: It has three speeds and rotates 360 degrees, so you can angle the breeze exactly where you need it most. There's even a protective cover to keep curious little fingers safe. Plus, it's rechargeable, with a battery lasting anywhere from two-and-a-half to ten hours depending on the speed you set the fan. That means you'll easily get through a long walk, a visit to the zoo, an outdoor dinner, or even an evening at the rodeo without worrying about recharging.

The fan comes in pink, blue, green, and black, so there's a color that'll fit right in wherever you use it. And for just $23, it's easy to see why Alex and Sofia won't be leaving home without it this summer.
