A head restraint unit is configured to restrain the movement of a head of a user, and to be fixed to or to be integral with a vehicle seat. The head restraint unit includes a headrest member and two side portions extending therefrom. A restraining member is pivotally coupled to the two side portions to allow rotation between a maximal upward position and a maximal downward position. The head of the user is intended to be positioned within the confined space that is formed within the loop defined by the back portion, side portions and the head restraining member. In result to an extreme maneuver of the vehicle, the head of the user can maneuver in a non-safely manner that can damage his/her head or spine. The head restraining member is configured to restrain this extreme movement and to reduce of its risk.

A head support apparatus provides support to a persons head while the person is seated. In some embodiments, A seat strap passes around the seat back of a seat and is adjusted tightly enough to maintain itself in position. A support strap attaches in a least one place to the seat strap at the back side of the seat back. The support strap passes up over the top of the seat back and presents a sling at the front side of the seat back to support a user's head. The seat strap, support strap, and sling are adjustable. In other embodiments, a sling has spring powered reels associated with each end. A strap extends from each reel. Each strap has a coupler at its exposed end which may connect directly to a seat. Some embodiments include a seat having complementary couplers complementary to the couplers on the straps.
