AGR Booklet Adjusting the car seat

6 | Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. - Together for a back-healthy life 3. The headrest must be adjustable and should not rest against the head during the journey. It only has a safety function! When you try out the seat, you will quickly realise whether the headrest can be adjusted to suit you. You should not feel that you have to tilt your head forward uncomfortably. We also recommend a 4-way headrest. You can adjust these not only up and down, but also forwards and backwards. If you decide in favour of a seat with an integrated headrest, we strongly advise you to try it out. 4. An adjustable 4-way lumbar support must be available. This supports the area of the lumbar spine at approximately the level of the waistline. 5. During the journey, all important controls must be within easy reach, including those for seat adjustment The 4-way lumbar support offers adjustments for height and depth. A tip: If you adjust the lumbar support slightly from time to time on longer journeys, this can prevent fatigue and help you arrive at your destination feeling more relaxed. You like it even more comfortable? Then our experts recommend the following additional functions: ∙ Massage function ∙ Memory function ∙ Climate package (seat heating/ventilation) ∙ Adjustable side bolsters on backrest and seat ∙ Seat dynamics system ∙ Backrest head adjustment Tip Plan a break! Sure: You want to get to your destination as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, it is important to take breaks on longer car journeys, such as on holiday or to a business meeting, to get some exercise and fresh air in between. Therefore, plan a break of about 30 minutes every two to three hours! When travelling by car with a baby or small children, even more frequent breaks are necessary.
