Sit on one in July and the heat your body makes has nowhere to go, so it sits between your back and the upholstery until your shirt is soaked through. Cabin air conditioning cools the air in front of you; it never reaches the two surfaces you are actually pressed against. This cushion does: it lifts you off the upholstery on a perforated mesh and runs fans underneath it, so cabin air moves across your back and thighs instead of stalling there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a \u003cstrong\u003eseat topper\u003c\/strong\u003e — one piece of ventilated mesh that lies on the front seat you already have. A tall panel covers the seat back, a hinged fold takes it over the seat edge, and a second panel covers the seat base. You lay it on, pass the elastic strap around the back of the seat, buckle it, and run the cord to the power socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ge-check\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is not a child car seat.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing here restrains a passenger. It is a cooling and massage cushion for the driver's or front passenger's seat, and it is not a substitute for a child restraint, a booster, or any part of your vehicle's safety equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the cooling works — and what it is not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no refrigeration in this cushion and no coolant. Small blower fans are sewn into the panels and push air out through the honeycomb perforations you sit on. That does two things: it carries away the humid layer that builds up between you and the seat, and it keeps the seat surface from acting like an insulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you feel is \u003cstrong\u003emoving air, at cabin temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a hot day with the AC on, that is the difference between a dry back and a wet one. On a hot day with the AC off, it moves hot air. Anyone selling you a number for how many degrees a fan cushion drops your seat temperature is guessing, so we are not going to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much you feel through the mesh also depends on what you are wearing. Through a cotton shirt it is obvious. Through a thick jacket, much less so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe massage is vibration, at the lower back\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo vibration motors sit behind the mesh in the lumbar section of the backrest panel — the part that meets the small of your back. They buzz. They are there to break up the stiffness that sets in when you have not moved your hips for two hours, not to knead you like a massage chair. There are no rollers, no kneading heads and no heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fans and the massage run independently. Each has its own button on the pad, and each has its own indicator light, so you can run air only, buzz only, or both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eControls and power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small oval pad sits on the outer side edge of the seat panel, where your right hand falls. One button runs the fans, one runs the massage; the buttons carry symbols rather than English words, and a colored LED next to each tells you what is on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower comes from your car's \u003cstrong\u003e12 volt accessory socket\u003c\/strong\u003e — the round one you would put a phone charger in — through a corded plug on a lead that leaves the lower side edge of the cushion. It occupies that socket while it runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panels are shaped for a standard front bucket seat.
