This is interesting as I have a friend who is a smidge under 5ft. Her driving is shocking and her DH likes her (he buys it - she barely knows the make and model!) to have a big car, to withstand any bumps and cope with the country lanes where they live - so she now has a brand new hybrid/electric Discovery. Obviously, she has the seat as far forward as it will go, then a pair of old sofa squabs on it and a couple of cushion behind her back.
How the Hell she hasn’t had or caused an accident remains a mystery, as she’s out and about every day. Any residents around the Sedgefield area, be aware, very aware!

I am Just about 5’ and when driving can’t see the bonnet of my small car so have been looking for something to raise me up a few inches but finding nothing suitable.
A child’s booster seat would be perfect though might be a bit hard, but my haunches need more width.
Can anyone suggest anything ? I can’t be the only short gran , what do others do?
