    When the seat is comfortable for my wife to drive, the head rest (which tilts forward anyway) hits her head. Is there a 3rd party headrest that is more straight up than tilting forward?

    Thanks

    Head rests - 2013 Prius v owner. Be careful about turning head rests around. They slope so much to the rear that one needs to be concerned about the effectiveness in the event of the rear-end collision - the head movement backwards being too great and resulting in the whiplash we are trying to avoid. Not sure what the problem is. I am 5'6'' tall & wife is 5'1'' tall - short enough that we use Costco car seat cushions for added height. Head rests are not a problem, although, we do 'rake' the seat backward a little bit - enough so are arms are slightly flexed at the elbow. Some people really crowd the steering wheel (not safe do to air bag function) and that would cause the head rest problem.
