[3COINS] The back seat is cool too! The back seat twin fan circulator is just right for family drives

The troublesome heat issue in the back seat during summer drives. Can we expect a dramatic change with 3COINS' back seat twin fan circulator? Here's a report on the actual usage experience tested in an Alphard.

The back seat is just hot... How to solve the problem of summer drives?

Every year during summer drives, I feel the issue of "the front seats are comfortable, but the back seat is stuffily hot." Especially for families using child seats, it's concerning whether the child in the back is sweating. So, I decided to try the rear twin fan circulator I found at 3COINS.

Easy to install and adjustable angle

This item is a type that can be easily attached to the headrests of the driver's seat or passenger seat, and it comes with a fixing arm. The two fans can each be independently adjusted for angle, allowing airflow to be directed to either side seat. The airflow can be adjusted in three levels and operates on USB Type-A power. The price of 1650 yen makes it an easy item to test.

When I actually tried it in the Alphard... my impression is

This time, I installed it in the Alphard to verify how usable it really is. In conclusion, it definitely fulfilled the purpose of "sending wind to the back seat." However, there are a few points to be cautious about when using it.

Be careful with the power supply! Check Type-A and Type-C

This twin fan circulator for the back seat is compatible with USB Type-A, but it did not work with the car's AC100V outlet and adapter. It was likely due to a mismatch in output specifications.

So, I used a Type-A to Type-C conversion adapter and connected it to the Type-C port in the Alphard, and the power turned on successfully. Depending on the vehicle model, using a USB adapter for the cigarette lighter socket might work more smoothly.

A perfect comfortable feature for family drives.

The airflow can be chosen from three levels: weak, medium, and strong. If you set it to maximum, you can definitely feel the breeze in the back seat, enhancing comfort even in areas where the air conditioning airflow is difficult to reach. The size is also compact, not obstructing your view, and the operational noise is relatively quiet, so it didn't bother the passengers.
While it doesn't cool dramatically, I think it's a worthwhile item for those who want to "send at least a bit of airflow to the back seat" or "ensure that children and passengers can stay comfortable." Despite its reasonable price, the 3COINS back seat twin fan circulator supports comfortable family time. How about trying it on your summer drives?
