... is there any type of booster that an adult can use while driving?
The reason I ask is because my 80yr old grandma is sooo tiny (4'8" ish and around 80lbs max after a big meal), so she puts the driver seat streight up and as far forward as it goes. Her chest is literally 6" from the straing wheel, which is 2" above her lap. She drives with her arms bent and legs bent compleatly.
It really freaks me out because even in a minor accident if the air bag went off she would be squished! But she says thats how she has been driving sence she was 18 and thats how she can see best out all the mirrors.
I did get her to move the seat back a couple inches - but still, it just looks scary to me.
Im just wondering if there is something that we could put on the seat, so she can still see properly out the windows/mirrors but not be so close to the air bag.
She is a really good driver, very active and sharp - so she will be driving for a while still.
