    I have tried pushing the button... trust me. It will not budge, even with some motivation. Anyone else had this happen? How did you get it loose?

    It's a bastard, fold the seat down and pull up the seat back. Inspect the mechanism.

    Is the headrest in backwards? That is usually the case.

    Which button? There’s one at the bottom right at the top of the seat. Not the one that normally lets the headrest be removed.

    This also. Even when there not in backwards they can be hard to remove.

    Not the one that flips it. There is a button on the inside of the one of the plastic things that are on top of the seat.
