The front-seat headrests in my vehicle are tilted forward in a way that forces an unnatural seating position. A driver must slouch forward to avoid the headrest, or be forced to tilt his/her head downwards. Both options result in the headrest having significant long-term consequences for the health of the occupant's neck and spine, which ironically are the injuries headrests should be designed to prevent.
The driver and passenger head restraints push my head far too forward and downward. Being only 5', I added a seat pad and a lumbar pad, still no help. I have had to turn the head restraint backwards resulting in relieve but won't protect me in an accident.
