What is the optimal height for car seats?
1 Answers
Car seats should be adjusted to the following position: leave a gap of 1-2 fists between the top of your head and the car roof (this may vary slightly depending on the vehicle model), ensuring that your eye level is positioned slightly above the center of the vertical distance of the front windshield. Below are relevant details: 1. Car seat adjustments can be manual or electric, and the available adjustment functions may differ based on the vehicle's configuration. After entering the car, the first step is to adjust the seat height. The seat height should provide a clear forward view without being obstructed by the steering wheel while allowing clear visibility of important gauges and street signs. 2. If the seat is too high, sudden braking or uneven road surfaces may cause the driver's head to hit the roof. If the seat is too low, even with the correct fore-aft adjustment, extra effort may be required to operate the pedals, making it inconvenient. Additionally, a low seat position hinders the driver's ability to observe the road ahead.
