Seating problem

My wife is five feet tall. Her legs do not quite reach the floor of the car, especially when sitting in the from passenger seat. What do people recommend to fix this problem?

Thanks

I don't think there's much you can do unless you want to remove the seat and cut up/ fabricate a new mount for the seat...

Try installing a chevy cobalt passenger seat. I think I have read on here where people have swapped out seats. Cobalt seats should be closer to the floor.

I'm assuming, because your wife is short, that it is uncomfortable with her feet "dangling" over the edge of the seat. My MIL had the same problem in one of the vehicles and she used a formed hard foam pillow on the floor (used a soft item in the event of an accident).

New wife: after 36 years, I don't want to get used to anew set of quirks.

I think the foam pillow is the answer. Thanks
