integral child seats headrests

[vickisulli]

Hi,
We are using the two integral child seats in the middle row which are great. The only problem is with the child headrests. Both my children are still way under the limit to use a child seat but their heads stick out the top of the headrests. When I try to move the headrests up, as you would the normal headrests, they simply sink back down again. I'm worried that it's not safe for them to be taller than their headrests but I've also heard that booster cushions without side protection round the head are not safe so I don't want to just take the child headrests off. I'd also much rather use the integral seats than put in separate child seats and ruin my leather seats.
Does anyone else use the child headrests and is there a way of making them stay up higher? Is this a fault or are they just designed to only work at the lowest level?
Thanks
Vicki

Hi - I've just been out and had a look at mine.

They are exactly the same as yours, in that there's no way of securing them when they are moved anywhere other than the fully down position.

Looks like that's just how they're designed to be.

Thanks. That's a bit daft isn't it? I'm not convinced the seats are safe for my 6 and 8 year olds with their heads sticking up above the top.grr
