iPad Mount for 2nd Row Seats

Has anyone found an elegant way to mount (temporarily) iPads for kids in the 2nd row. I have a set that attach to the post of the head rest, but the head rest for these seats recess into the backrest of the chairs, so if the headrest are all the way down, you can't access the headrest post from the 2nd row. I've seen people with Tesla use mounts that have a clip that can slide between the hard plastic on the back of the seat and the leather, instead of attaching to the headrest. Has anyone used something like that, or found a good solution?

Have no experience but maybe this:

And this taps into a floor bolt like you might see in a police car.

Thanks, but this accessory is meant to be inserted into a connection on the back of the seat that my car isn't equipped with.
