What is claimed is: 1 . A vehicle seat comprising: a seat main body having a major surface facing a user seated; a first air passage extending from an air conditioning device of a vehicle toward the seat main body so as to guide air from the air conditioning device to the seat main body; an outlet provided to a side portion of the seat main body and opened so that air from the first air passage is blown out along the side portion of the seat main body; a second air passage having an inlet opened toward the major surface so that air blown out from the outlet is sucked from the major surface; and a blower configured to suck air in the second air passage. 2 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , further comprising a second outlet configured to blow out air discharged from the blower toward the user or a rear user seated on a rear seat located on a rear side of the seat main body. 3 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the seat main body has a seat cushion configured to support a hip of the user and a seat back provided to a rear portion of the seat cushion and configured to support a back of the user, and wherein a second outlet is provided in the seat cushion and opened forward such that air discharged from the blower is blown out to a front side of the seat cushion. 4 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the seat main body has a seat cushion configured to support a hip of the user and a seat back provided to a rear portion of the seat cushion and configured to support a back of the user, and wherein a second outlet is provided in an upper portion of the seat back and opened forward such that air discharged from the blower is blown out forward from the upper portion of the seat back. 5 . A vehicle seat comprising: a seat main body having a major surface facing a user seated and a seat outer periphery located on an outer periphery of the major surface; a first air passage extending from an air conditioning device of a vehicle toward the seat main body so as to guide air from the air conditioning device to the seat main body; a first outlet provided in the seat outer periphery and configured to blow out, from the seat outer periphery, air from the first air passage; a second air passage having an inlet opened toward the major surface so that air blown out from the first outlet is sucked from the major surface; a blower configured to suck air in the second air passage; and a second outlet configured to blow out air discharged from the blower toward the user or a rear user seated on a rear seat located on a rear side of the seat main body. 6 . The vehicle seat according to claim 5 , wherein the seat main body has a seat cushion configured to support a hip of the user and a seat back provided to a rear portion of the seat cushion and configured to support a back of the user, and wherein the second outlet is provided in the seat cushion and opened forward such that the air discharged from the blower is blown out to a front side of the seat cushion. 7 .
