According to statistics from relevant departments, neck sprain is one of the most common injuries in car accidents. The data shows that in 26% of rear-end accidents, the driver's head or neck will be injured. Under the same conditions, the probability of driver's neck pain is reduced by 40% when using car headrest correctly, and the probability of neck injury is reduced by 24% when using good quality headrest compared with poor quality headrest.
In the event of a traffic accident, the huge impact force generated by the collision is all squeezed on the fragile neck, which may lead to spinal injuries of drivers and passengers, even nervous system problems and even life-threatening. With the existence of the car headrest, it can effectively buffer the huge instantaneous impact force when an accident occurs, thus protecting the fragile neck bone, reducing the probability of neck injury 1, correctly adjusting the angle between the body and the chair, and making the back as upright as possible. The angle between the neck and the body tends to be gentle, which can reduce the degree of injury during collision.
2. The distance between the back of the head and the headrest should be as small as possible, preferably not more than 10 cm. This can cushion the neck when chasing a collision.
3. Due to the different height of the occupant, the adjustment range of the headrest is different. It should be adjusted according to the specific situation.
4. Adjust the height of the headrest correctly. The headrest should be installed at least parallel to the upper edge of the ear or about 8.89 cm below the occupant's head. After the headrest is adjusted, firmly fix the headrest so that the headrest will not shake.
5. The protection effect of fixed headrest is much higher than that of adjustable headrest.
6. It is best to install a headrest in the back seat of the car.
7. In vehicle collision accidents, the probability of head and neck injuries of women is 1.8~2.2 times higher than that of men. Therefore, women should pay more attention to adjusting the height of the headrest and lean forward as far as possible when driving.
At present, the common headrest fabrics on the market are mostly high-grade silk wool, suede or pure cotton, which is filled with fluffy cotton. It is recommended to choose elastic and comfortable products when buying headrest. In addition, some inferior headrests are filled with "black cotton", which is harmful to human health and should be paid more attention to.

JD.COM Mall, Dangdang.com and other large-scale comprehensive online shopping malls, as well as Qiqi.com and other professional car accessories shopping malls with good reputation, will have professionals to answer related questions, and I believe they will help you buy a suitable car pillow. The headrest is mostly connected with the seat through two thin columns, and the installation is relatively simple. Even so, some riders don't know how to load and unload in daily use. Now I will share this method with you.
First put down the front seat → push the headrest up to the head → pick them up when you see two disks under the steel pipe → see a circular clip at the root of the steel pipe, press the outermost movable part of the clip with two screwdrivers and push it inward, while the other person pushes the headrest up at the same time.
Note that this may take two people.
