Review on Squish Car Headrest Mount Holder: The Ultimate Universal Tablet & Smartphone Holder for Backseat Entertainment! by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really makes you think about your car's suspension.

First off, it's easy to install and does exactly what you need it to do. It holds smart screens as advertised and does so behind the driver or passenger seat. Handling the device is also fairly easy as all you have to do is press one side of the screen against your hand until it fits and you're done. In terms of installing some sort of smart screen as entertainment for your team in the background, this works amazingly. The downside is really only if your suspension is pretty stiff and tends to bounce on things like speed bumps and driveways. My suspension is to factory specs (2009 Lancer) and isn't overly stiff in any way, but when I'm negotiating a few bumps (eg in an overly residential area) heavier objects will pitch down on rebound with heavier baffles. (e.g. iPad). This may not be a problem for smaller passengers, as the screen is already tilted downwards, but slightly taller passengers will have to get used to bumpy rides after a while. This is largely due to the device's swivel mechanism, which keeps the hand in place - it works well, but it just doesn't feel like it's ever going to be solid enough to hold heavy screens. Pros: does exactly what it's supposed to; fairly cheap for use Cons: can lean over bumpy roads if you have a bit stiffer suspension Suggested Use: Helps keep kids (and kids only) entertained

  • Brackets
