How safe are the rear 03 seats without head rest?

My son is still in a booster seat, but soon to come out.
How safe is it riding in the rear seat when these don't come with the head rests?

Thanks

Can't be safe in a rear end collision. My 02 Ford was the same way, I used velcro and a piece of high density foam on the back window when my kids rode in the back for a little more piece of mind.

Safe enough to pass whatever test they gotta pass to be considered safe by the ones who decide what safe, in 2003.

So they dont even have the little grommet/holes to install headrests in the seats? Thats crazy, if an adult were sitting back there their head would deffinantly hit the glass in an accident.

Thats what I thought. Makes me a little nervous without them there.

Maybe I should start watching Ebay For a used rear seat?
