Why do car seat headrests lean forward?

Sep 14, 2023

I believe everyone feels the same. Regardless of the brand, model, or seat style, all car seats have anti-human headrest designs. It is not like the ergonomic chair we sit in the office or the sofa at home. It has a headrest that perfectly fits the head and neck. The headrests of car seats actually buckle forward. Your head is pressed against it, making your neck uncomfortable, and the angle cannot be adjusted.

Car seat headrests lean forward mainly for the following two reasons:

1. Safety: Car pillow plays a safe role, if the pillow is not adjusted well in the occurrence of traffic accidents, it will be easy to hurt the neck, according to the statistics of relevant departments in many accidents the chance of neck injury reached 70%, you can imagine how important it is to protect the neck, car pillow can bring a certain buffer to the neck when the car crashes, play a certain protective role. The same reason as the airbag, of course, it must be adjusted when it is used, and it must be ensured that it is in the neck position.

2, comfort: the main thing is to drive back when you can have something close to the neck, especially when driving long distance, the neck also needs to have support to be comfortable, and the driver with cervical spondylosis is a good thing.

Principle of action: At the moment of rear-end collision or other accidents, when the head of the affected person violently leans back, to avoid the cervical vertebra under the action of the huge head acceleration, the spot is broken or seriously injured and killed. Therefore, when designing the headrest, the most important consideration is the safety issue, the headrest Angle is tilted forward, and it is hard and firm, and the head is prevented from violently falling back to the maximum extent, so as to protect the safety of the head and neck of the car personnel.
