Abstract
A headrest includes at least one cushion movably mounted in a recess in the seat back for movement between a deployed use position extending forward of the seat back to a non-use position contained within the recess. The cushion may be mounted on telescoping slider members which pivot when in a deployed position to angle the cushion downward about the user's head. Alternately, a pivotal cushion is removably or fixedly mounted on a child car seat for movement between an upward and rearward extending non-use position, and a forward facing use position encircling a seat user's head.
