Anyone managed to set a chimy up for a vertically challenged individual? Wife is 5'1" and stuggles with the pedals, and thinks a cusion on the seat is only for people with piles.

She's a good driver, having been a carting demon in the past.

ps She hasn't tried the handbrake yet!

I am 5'3" and manage to drive the Griffith OK. I have to put a cushion behind my back and I also sit on a cushion. The car was previously owned by an oriental gentleman and came equiped with pedal extensions.

I keep looking for a custom made booster seat, but the only way appears to adapt a child seat or use cushions.

In our old Chim, Chrissy needed the Leven LONG pedals and the facory seat booster that goes over the back and moves the person forward about 4 inches.

She was 4ft 11in tall
