One small thing.....

.... well not a 'thing', a new learner pupil who is just 4'9

She has been bringing a cushion out to sit on thus far to ensure she is able to look through centre of screen when travelling forward.... but is experiencing problems getting a decent view in reverse. I'd like to get one of the wedge shaped 'cushions' I saw at QEF when I went along on an open day. Can I just walk in and buy one, or can they give me details of where to shop?? Does anyone know where else I might be able to find such things?

You could always make one !!!

Hi Lin

You've probably got this sorted by now

We get wedge cushions from a company called Putnams. The 11 degree wedge with a cocyxx cut out is very useful.
Wedge cushions allow the pupil to be taller in the seat without taking their feet away from the pedals. It also provides a better seating posture than a standard car seat.
How is she on the pedals? A floor raiser often helps.

Hi Chris

Yes, it's all sorted now ta! Not sure of the company I used without looking at my records, but it was an 11 degree one with the cut out bit as you discribed. The pedals arn't an issue in my car, but we've had a look at her partners car, which she will be using shortly (no pun intended) for practice, and she will be needing a floor raiser for that! Same company had something that looked suitable, so we have ordered it. Havent tried it out as yet!
