Possibility of head rests in the back on a '01 TJ?
Hi, we just did a long trip in our TJ with our four year old son in the
back. I noticed that he has no head support, should we be rear ended. Its
funny I had never noticed it before, oh well..
Now the question is, how can I add head rests to the back bench seat? Our
son really enjoys his rides in the TJ, but I can't have him in the front
because of the air bag and now I am hesitant in the back because of no head
rests. As per local law in NZ, he is on a booster seat, but that also
lacks back/head support.
Any help or push in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
TW

I don't know about NZ, but they sell high back booster seats for kids in the
US. I would probably look into doing that. Adding a head support to the
fold and tumble seat would be quite a project.

Re: Possibility of head rests in the back on a '01 TJ?
Along the same lines, has anyone replaced the back fold and tumble seat with
bucket seats? I'd like to provide head restraints and a little more leg room by
moving the rear seats back a bit.

Well, that was the other idea I had in mind. We have not folded the seat
in our TJ even once. If there is a need to carry more stuff, we can use
our other car (Honda CR-V). I would be interesting to see what the replies
suggest. May be some aftermarket car seat maker makes such a replacement
seat. In our case, the seat does not have to be moved back at all.
Cheers,
