The car headrest is a kind of protective equipment on the seat, which plays the role of cushioning and protecting the cervical spine. The car seat headrest needs to be adjusted according to the seat height to avoid injury to the cervical spine in an accident. So where is the best position for the car seat headrest? What is the reason for not being able to get stuck?

Why can't the car seat headrest get stuck?

The most direct cause is that the headrest buckles have aged and lost their working effect due to years of use of the vehicle, or the headrest buckles have broken and damaged due to violent adjustments in daily life.

When this problem occurs, the only way is to replace the buckle parts. If it is manually adjusted, the price is not too expensive. If you are good at hands-on, you can buy the parts yourself. If it is electric adjustment, the price is higher and it will be determined according to the vehicle.

As the temperature continues to drop, the plastic parts in the car become more brittle, so everyone must be gentle when adjusting the headrest buckles or seat height and other parts.

What is the appropriate position for a car headrest?

First of all, you must ensure that the back of your seat is in close contact with your entire back when you drive normally. If this cannot be done, it will be useless no matter how correctly you place the headrest.

With the backrest and your back basically upright, the softest part of the headrest should be aligned with the back of your head; the distance between the headrest and the back of your head should be 3 to 4 cm. Use your hands to shake, push, and press down the headrest to ensure it is secure.

The most suitable position for adjusting the headrest is that the soft part in the middle of the headrest is parallel to the upper edge of the ear, so that in the event of a rear-end collision, it can also protect the back of the head and cervical spine. If you buy a headrest yourself, you usually put it in the middle of the neck, which can play a comfortable role.
