Whiplash - how to fit head-restraints (not head-rests!)

It seems idiotic to me that so many older cars don't have rear head restraints fitted whilst the driver and passenger gets them! The wife insists we cannot afford to replace our 2004 Fiat Punto. So I'm going to have 2, possibly 3, rear head restraints fitted 'at a cost of several hundred pounds'. It will cost a bomb according to the local Fiat dealer! Why are rear seat passengers so prejudiced against with regard to their safety? How can our childrens necks and life be quantified?!
