Rapido 741F - Front Passenger Seat Height -Foot Rests ?? Forums

Coulstock

I've just bought a Rapido 741F and on our first outing ( outbound) my wife (she's 5' 00 or so) complained about her feet not reaching the passenger floor giving rise to 2 very puffy feet on arrival. The swivel seats are set to a height that on facing aft ( old Naval term ) they are at a good height to use as "eating seating". On the way back she used a small foot stool in front of her seat which was reasonable but not desireable. Anybody came across an engineered solution to provide foot rests on swivel seats ???

Hi coulstock,
My wife has this problem and I have been looking for a solution. ALDI are selling, on Sunday 7th September a WEDGE CUSHION in blue or grey at £2.99 which I might try.

My wife has this problem too in our Hymer van, which is based on a Transit
Lidl have the same wedge cushion but it doesn't seem firm enough - I've been wondering about typists footrests like these:

but I'm not sure what will fit in the footwell of a transit

Don't laugh. We bought a strong cat litter tray, upside down it's perfect!

I had bought some carpet for the cab floor, as van was supplied with rubber mat only, so I covered the tray with matching carpet. It sticks to the floor with velcro and doesn't notice too much. also handy to keep a couple of maps underneath!

I made a small box from mdf for Suzy, as a temperary measure, but it works so well we haven't upgraded!
Seems to be a common problem for the more petite among us.
