The Villages Golf Car Store at Lake Sumter Landing sold us a cushion for this purpose. It was called a Back Buddy. My wife loves it!

Pedal extension, back "pillows" or replace your seat(s) with an adjustable seat.

Few dollars to thousands of dollars.

I bought a back cushion and a pedal extender at the Village’s golf cart store in Lake Sumter for my mom to use. My mom is 4’10”. The back cushion has Velcro straps so it stays in place while driving. The pedal extender snaps on to the pedal and is easily removable if needed. I probably could have bought these cheaper but I liked what I saw.

Find the latest phone book that was delivered to your driveway. Works perfectly with duct tape wrapped around the right foot of your wife. Please remember to take if off before she goes dancing in the square.

The problem with that extension is that it only goes on the gas pedal, not the brake pedal.

So if you're driving along, your foot on the gas, and have to brake, it's very awkward to lift your foot from the gas pedal and then over AND down to reach the brake pedal. It's harder for your leg to shift like that.

If you move your body forward on the seat (with a cushion behind you) then both pedals will be in line with each other, and no adjusting needed from your leg/foot every single time you need to step on the brake.

With the cushion, my heel is usually on the floor of the cart, and the rest of my foot just turns a little to the right for the gas, a little to the left for the brake. Without the cushion, and the pedal block on the gas, I have to lift my entire leg up just to get from the brake to the gas, and stretch my leg and my entire body just to reach the brake pedal.

The whole point of needing anything at all, is to avoid having to sit in an awkward position to drive. They forget the brake pedal is needed for driving as well.

I purchased a seat cushion back cushion for an office Chair made from memory foam for lumbar support. The cushion back and seat are all one piece so that it doesn’t slide behind the golf cart seat..I also am height challenged and have short arms. I purchased it from Amazon. It is made by Dr. Comfy.

I bought a cover that goes over the gas pedal from Amazon for my golf cart.

I own a 2019 Yamaha and love my gas pedal extender. Village Discount threw it in for free but it only costs about $10 and is easily removed if needed

Longer screws and washers for the back of the seat to move it forward. Also take some flip flops, remove the straps and mount to the pedal. Use as many as needed. Soft and good grip.
