Back pain in Frontier 80?

Dd and I drove from Toledo to Chicago yesterday, and she complained for HOURS about her back hurting. We've had the seat for 3 years and have used it on countless road trips (this is one of the shortest) without her complaining. We stopped at the halfway point, and she had plenty to keep from getting bored. The Frontier seems like a fairly comfy booster, so I was surprised she was saying she was uncomfortable. Has anyone else heard this?

Maybe she needs a footrest? If her feet are dangling it can cause some back strain. Some stacked pillows or something else lightweight for her feet to rest on might help.

Maybe her legs are just now long enough to bend better with the deep seat and need more support.

Thanks! That's probably it--I was noticing last night that her knees are closer to bending over the edge of the seat. We'll give it a try on our return trip today!
