Consumer Description

THE NEW HEAD RESTRAINT POSITION ON THE CARS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR COMFORTABLY. SHE HAS SHORT ARMS AND LEGS, WHICH REQUIRE THE SEAT TO BE FORWARD AND UPRIGHT. THE HEADREST IN THIS POSITION IS PLACES HER HEAD TIPPED DOWN TOWARD HER CHEST. AGAIN, UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. TO GET THE SEAT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE TO DRIVE, AND HER LOOKING STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDSHIELD, THE HEADREST NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND/OR INSTALLED BACKWARDS. THE BACKWARDS POSITION IS A SAFER OPTION. A HEADREST WITHOUT AS MUCH OF A PITCH FORWARD IS NEEDED. HER 2002 FOCUS WAS NO PROBLEM, BUT REGRETFULLY THE HEADRESTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. *TR
