hi wendy!!!

i have a 3yr old son so i dont need them yet, but i did a search for

you and came up with 2 sites for you to check out-

www.pedalextender.com and www.ksginfo.org/othersrc.html the

second site has links to different aids that a short statured person

may need, including furniture, clothing patterns, and pedal

extenders.

good luck!!!

-Hi wow to think of our kids driving UGH!! Well the only thing I

know of is not pedal extenders but the Nissan makes a Suv that the

pedals move forward to reach your feet, I thought that was really

cool if they even have them around when he get's older, I think it

is an Exterra, well Good luck on your reasearch let us know what you

find out please.

Hi -

Your kids may also want to " shop around " because they might fit cars

that the " fit " into without any adaptations or extension. I'm an

RSS adult who is 4'6.75 " I drive a Ford Explorer Sport Trac with no

adaptations and am able to drive Volkswagens without adaptations as

well. On the other hand, I can not drive ANY Toyota because their

dashboard is too high. Before making adjustments for a car that

doesn't fit at all, I'd recommend a lot of " trying it on for size "

to see what works and what doesn't.
