Yes, it is advisable to adjust the vehicle's head restraints to the occupants' build, because this helps keep passengers safe. According to the General Vehicle Regulations, restraint devices such as head restraints must be fitted so that neck injuries are minimised in an accident. Correctly adjusted head restraints can prevent excessive forward movement of the head, which is crucial to prevent serious neck injuries.
