  • As an anxious parent staying in a hot place without air con, I want to keep my kids cool at night so they don't die.

    Basically I want one or two fan(a) that will pack in a suitcase (have decent luggage allowance) in case the main fan isn't sufficient to keep my kids cool. I think it'll be fine, but for an easy life I need to find a secondary solution.

    USB or rechargeable would be good so we're not constrained by power points.

  • How hot is too hot? As an example, the kids in Valencia, Spain often sleep in the (very) high 20s in their apartments and at school and it is considered normal; ours (2.5y) only really struggles if it hits thirty.

    Also, instead of lots of fans, just freeze a tupperware filled with water and put it in front of the one fan pointing over the cot/bed. Works surprisingly well and lasts over the hottest part of the night.

  • Although if your child is like me, sleeping with a fan on and no covers is likely to result in a sore throat the following morning. A thin cotton sheet helps with that.

  • I guess 30° - 26°. It'll be fine Imo. But anything for an easy life. We've got one cool mat recommended by a hot friend (still waiting on the 2nd one the seller forgot to send).

    I've bought this:

    and will report back.
