Yukai Engineering, maker of the weirdly cute Mirumi robot<\/a>, has another interesting gadget at CES 2026. Baby FuFu is a portable fan for babies that attaches to strollers.<\/p>\n

Baby FuFu is modeled on the company’s smaller (but otherwise identical-looking) drink-cooling gadget, Nekojita FuFu. “Baby FuFu grew out of Nekojita FuFu fans’ feedback that their children love not only cooling their food with it but also playing with it, pretending to fan their faces and blow-dry their hair,” Yukai Engineering CEO Shunsuke Aoki said.<\/p>\n

The company says the fan blades are concealed behind a slit plate that blocks even the tiniest fingers from entering. The cat-like fan\u2019s “hands” and “feet” are designed to latch onto stroller handles. Parents can angle Baby FuFu to aim airflow at the child’s face (or anywhere else). It has three airflow settings, adjustable with a single button. It charges via USB-C.<\/p>\n

Yukai Engineering plans to launch Baby FuFu in mid-2026 for somewhere between $50 and $60. It will join the company’s “shy” Mirumi charm robot, which has raised over $250,000 on Kickstarter. Mirumi’s crowdfunding campaign<\/a> expires on January 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yukai Engineering, maker of the weirdly cute Mirumi robot, has another interesting gadget at CES 2026.
