How to Adjust a Headrest in a Car

Model: (Various brands) Various

Adjusting the headrest in a car is very important for safety as it can often prevent whiplash in the event of an accident or collision. The driver's seat backrest should be as vertical as possible. Additionally, the distance between the head and the headrest should not exceed 2 inches (5 cm), which is roughly the distance of two or three fingers. It is also crucial that the headrest is high enough, with its top edge level with the upper margin of the head, to provide the best possible protection.
