Tips for Maximum Headrest Safety
- Adjust the height so the top of your headrest is level with the top of your head.
- Keep it close to the back of your head (2–4 cm away).
- Ensure the metal rods are fully inserted and locked; don’t leave them loose.
- Check after seat adjustments — moving your seat forward or backward can misalign the headrest.
- Never remove the headrest unless absolutely necessary, and always reinstall it properly.
Beyond Cars: Safety by Design
Those tiny metal rods are part of a broader engineering philosophy: safety through subtle design. Car manufacturers have spent decades perfecting systems that work quietly in the background, protecting drivers and passengers without requiring constant attention.
Next time you buckle up, take a moment to check your headrest. That simple adjustment, supported by two unassuming metal rods, could save your neck and your life.
