These ratings only allow the comparative assessment of a seat's ability to protect its occupant in a typical crash. They cannot be used as a guide to whether a particular injury is more or less likely, since we still do not know enough about the mechanisms of whiplash injury to state this confidently. It is important to remember that all occupants must adjust their head restraints correctly whether they have a "POOR" or "GOOD" rated seat. No head restraint can offer full protection if it is incorrectly adjusted. The ideal adjustment is as high as the top of the head, and as close to the back of the head as possible - touching is best.
NOTE: Seat ratings indicated with * are supplied in association with Euro NCAP, of which Thatcham is a member.
