Description of the problem | I own a 2001 ford f150 lariet off road pick up truck with a supercab. The rear seats in the truck do not have any headrests. My seven year old daughter constantly hits her head on the rear window because there is no headrest. I am very concerned about what could happen to her if my vehicle was struck from the rear with her in that seat. I can't allow her to sit in the front seat as of yet and can't find any headrest alternatives to correct the problem. I believe that this was a poor design by ford and i think they know it too since all of the newer models have rear headrests. I never even thought about it until after i purchased the truck. I just thought you should be aware of the problem and wondered if you had any similar complaints. Thanks! *nm |
