Car Headrest
Headrests actually play more of a pivotal role than you might think. Before the 1960s, headrests were optional in cars and were mainly reserved for luxury cars as comfort features. But in 1969, headrests became a standard safety feature as they were proven to prevent injuries by five to 10%. So technically, yes, you do need headrests in any car as they now come standard, but they can also prevent a lot of injuries as well.

What Injuries Do Car Seat Headrests Prevent?
The main purpose of a headrest is to prevent whiplash for all of the occupants. After all, there’s a reason that there are headrests at every seating position in a car and, best of all, they are adjustable to cater to almost everyone’s height requirements. Whiplash can occur when a person’s head snaps, or whips, back unexpectedly and suddenly during a car collision.
Whiplash can lead to sudden effects like neck stiffness, decreased range of movement in a person’s neck, and even soft-tissue injuries. Other symptoms include difficulty swallowing, headaches, dizziness, and memory loss. 
Considering headrests can play an important role in preventing whiplash injuries, we can see why they are an important part of a car’s interior and seat configuration and also why they are referred to as “head restraints.”

Conclusion
Headrests are an essential feature in every vehicle’s car seat. Always ensure that the car you’re buying comes with one, as it has a lot of safety benefits.
