Headrests for the second row captain's chairs.

[WhisperingWillow]

Greetings

Visited the dealership today to inquire about upgrading our CX-9 to the 90 model. However, I noticed that the headrests on the second row seats excessively press my children's heads forward. There seems to be no available method to modify the angle, and the dealer said that some individuals have declined to proceed with the purchase due to this issue. Therefore, I would like to inquire whether anybody in this forum is aware of a solution. Various options that are suitable? Aside from that, I really enjoyed the automobile.

Thank you for any recommendations.

I agree with the sentiment, as many seated in the second row have expressed similar opinions.

An alternative is to eliminate them.

Another option is to slightly deform the metal posts to improve their alignment, however one should carefully evaluate the potential impact on the safety features of the headrest in the event of an accident.

Does adjusting the seat to a slightly reclined position have any beneficial impact?

[nickoyster4]

Although it provides some relief, the discomfort persists.

I must admit that even the front seats are not very pleasant. At my current stature and sitting position, the prominent section is where my head sits. It is vexing that these sections do not possess the capability to tilt.

I agree, the chairs are underwhelming. There are very few automobiles available at a price point that I am willing to pay, which come equipped with tilting headrests.

I recently reversed their orientation by uninstalling and reinstalling them. The seats remain available for use by adults, without causing forward displacement of my child's head.

The first modification we made was to ensure that the booster seat back could securely rest against the seat back. We replaced this item on the dealer's premises when we collected it. It seems as if Mazda's production line instructions are reversed. Additionally, my in-laws, who are over 70 years old, also like to have them reversed in order to avoid straining their necks.

Initially, we modified the booster seat to ensure that its back would securely rest on the seat back. We replaced this item on the dealer's premises when we collected it.

It is not a problem for my kid, since her head does not exceed the height of the seatback. If there is an adult sitting, I reverse its direction.

For the sake of your own safety and the protection of your loved ones, refrain from modifying the head restraints. The purpose of their presence is not to provide comfort, but rather to serve as a safety precaution against head whiplash in the event of an accident. If the protrusion of the seats causes discomfort, consider modifying the angle of recline of your seat.

Furthermore, please refrain from deleting or inverting them.

If someone forcefully pushes your head forward in an unnatural manner, it indicates a lack of adequate design, and there is no more explanation needed. I have not encountered this problem in any other car I have been in. If this problem had occurred in the front seat, I would not have bought this car.
