I know that with the system pictured above, my 3-year old, sitting in his carseat, would use the screen as a foot rest.

However, the main drawback to the headrest mounted system is that you lose the adjustable headrest "pillow" that comes with the multi-contour seats. I don't know how much of a loss that is since I've never had it, but I do wish I had it nevertheless. So neither system is perfect.
You cannot have a system mounted into the headrests for Active Headrests, which a lot of drivers are now taking up due to the low cost option and massive safety feature. This system has been designed with that fact in mind.
I beeive that you'll see most manufacturers coming out with these options in the future
(+ you can swap to new vehcile at a later stage)

I just want Blu_Ray DVD to be standard!!!!!!
