Positioning of Car Headrest
It is very essential to adjust the positioning of car headrest correctly. This can save you from a lot of pain if you are involved in an accident. Many vehicle headrests are not raised sufficiently high. As a result, the user cannot get the maximum protection in an accident. Usually the headrests are fixed too low and if the car is hit from behind, the user's head will actually be flipped back over the top of the headrest, and this can really cause a severe neck injury. It is to be noted while fixing the headrest on the seat, the top of the headrest should be in line with the top of the driver's head. You should not place the headrest just behind the driver's neck.

Materials
