A headrest is an important and indispensable accessory in a van seat, which can protect the driver and passengers from whiplash in case of emergency braking or vehicle collision. But many people will be curious, is it okay to remove headrest from a car?

Xiamen Van Seat, a leader in automotive seating innovation, understands the role of headrests in the safety of a car ride, and we hope to help you answer this question by sharing the following.

The significance of headrests

Head restraints can prevent whiplash in rear-end collisions, can support the head and neck well, avoid or reduce the risk of serious spinal injuries, and are an important part of the vehicle safety system.

Under what circumstances will the headrest be disassembled?

1、To improve the view inside the car, especially for compact cars.

2、In order to install a child car seat

Users make modifications or seatback angle tilt adjustments.

What happens when the headrest is removed?

1、User's head is not supported, and his/her neck is easily twisted in low-speed collision or fast collision, which increases the probability of injury.

2、Private removal of head restraints may lead to the appearance of non-compliance with safety regulations, which affects the liability for accidents (legal, insurance)

3、Modern headrests are designed to match the riding position, and the removal of headrests can lead to neck sprains when driving long distances.

Xiamen Van Seat wants drivers and passengers to recognize and understand the importance of headrests, and does not recommend that you remove the headrests from your car unless you need to make child seat installations, or seat back angle tilt adjustments. We need to comply with safety standards to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.
