I notice on the options list for the S that 'Adjustable Rear Head Restraints' are a €60 extra. Does this mean the standard car has no rear head rests or that they're just not adjustable? Should I be ticking the box?
General Rear Head Restraints - an extra??

Perfect, thank you. I prefer that.

Mine came with rear head restraints as standard in the uk with split rear seats!
Personally I'd rather have them, nice whiplash for passengers in an accident without them!
Passengers ! Not in my car ! and yes I resisted the temptation to put "pussies " at the end...
Ummmm ok. I don't have passengers 99% of the time, but if i do it's nice to keep everyone safe
hmm interesting, I just read the options list again and it also sais further down that split rear seats with adjustable head restraints is standard on both TA and 1.2 S.
Strange that Ell4ever's doesn't have either then. Maxi's right - you'd think they'd have to be standard from a safety aspect.

I thought some sort of law came into force that all cars must be supplied with rear head restraints. Can't believe they ain't standard (in 2013! My 1997 Laguna had them?!)
Nope, never been the case.
In 1997 your Laguna was a large family car, just like any large family car today which will have them
According to the Fiat configurator the split seats and head restraints are standard on the S, but this is the Fiat configurator remember....
They were standard on my 2008 500 lounge
My Pop is new and it came without headrests, however, the caryard called me about a month ago and said it has to have them fitted so book it in. I haven't done so yet. I don't know how the heck I will see out the back window with them in. But yes, it is a safety feature. I quite like it without them.
I'm pretty sure you can slide them down and retract them, so they hardly block any of your rear vision. At least, that's how it works on my 500C Lounge.
Yes mine slide down and I keep them down all the time unless needed.

I had the old 1.2 sport and it didn't have them, when I ordered the S I was concerned, but they slot over the seat and hardly noticeable! The only time I'd have them up is with passengers and their heads would be in the way anyway! The only issue I have is that when I have to put the seats down, the head rests have to be removed completely!
