Sourcemobility Gas and Brake Pedal Extenders for Cars, Go Kart, Ride on Toys

We love them! They were originally purchased for my daughter, who is 4' 10" and just learning to drive, however I am 4' 11" and I am wondering where these have been all my life. We have put them on a 2014 Honda Odyssey Minivan and they work great! The installation was a pain for my husband and took a very long time, mainly because he kept having to readjust them to get them right for us. It was just a lot of trial and error. But, now that they are on, we have had no reason to take them off. My husband is 5' 11" and he is able to drive with them on with the seat all the way back. Would definitely recommend!

I never knew these existed, otherwise I would have had them installed in every car I have owned. Why did car salesman not tell me about these? I am 4'10" and have extremely short legs so the steering wheel was always right up against my stomach in order to reach the pedals. I found a make of a car (Mazda) that fit me better where I wasn't touching the steering wheel, but when I upgraded with my previous car a couple of months ago, it was designed just different enough to make it difficult to comfortably reach. I thought I was going to have to say "never mind" to my car salesman. But then I googled to see if I could rig something up and found these and ordered them within an hour of reading about them. Oh. My. God. I seriously cannot tell you what a life saver these have been. I for once can sit back far enough to use the armrest, reach my drink easier, and not feel that I would be crushed by the airbag if I ever was in an accident. Many people said there were no instructions, but my husband had them on my pedals in less than an hour and adjusting them takes less than 5 minutes (which we did several times to get me 100% comfortable). Some reviews said they were made cheap and flimsy...I have found them very sturdy. I don't even know they are there. To say these changed my life sounds so dramatic and over the top, but they actually have and I will never ever do without them again.

My wife has MS, and it was becoming difficult for her to drive her 2011 Chevy Equinox because the brake and gas pedals were so far into the well and of such different heights, requiring her to sit close to the wheel and lift her leg to get her foot from the gas to the brake, a move that fatigued her to the point she could only drive for about 15 minutes before having to stop and rest. She wanted the pedals to be lower to the floor, closer to the seat, closer together, and at the same level so she could use a heel-toe driving style without lifting her leg. The units came assembled but not in the configuration I needed, and the bolts that hold the brake extension onto the brake pedal were too long. The kit only included one of the shorter bolts for that application, so I had to dig up a second one from the bolt pile (always keep your leftover bolts!). The installation is a lot easier if you dissemble the extensions from the mounting brackets. Start with the brake mounting bracket, secure it onto the brake pedal, then do the same for the bracket for the gas pedal. The gas pedal mounting bracket is a bit funky, relying on little bolts you tighten with the small angle key provided to push down against the pedal against little bolts that catch on the underneath. So get both of those brackets tight onto the pedals first. Then put the extensions assembly onto the gas pedal loosely (hand tight). I moved some of the spacers around to get the gas pedal closer to the brake. Then I found a good position by holding it up in place that fit well. Did the same with the brake, using the bolts hand tightened to find a configuration I wanted. Once I had the rough positions set I put in the lock washers on the brake assembly bolts and tightened it up. The did the same with the gas pedal, getting it to align with the brake at about the same height and distance from the seat. My wife loves the new pedals and had me adjust the gas one a bit. She says she can drive a lot better without the fatigue that comes with lifting her foot each time. A week before we went to a place that customized vans for the handicapped and made adjustments like these. They had some pedal extensions but had nothing to bring the pedals closer together or lower to the floor like this unit did. They even suggested we sell the car and get one with different pedals! Other shops and dealers wouldn't touch the job with a ten foot pole due to liability concerns. Our only other option was to hire a friend who welds and does other fabrications to custom extend the brake but even then they wouldn't be aligned as well as I was able to get these to align. Besides, that would have hurt resale. It's not perfect - Criticisms I have with this setup: 1. The extensions for the brake pedal rely on tightness of the bolts in the extensions to keep it in place. A strong hard push on the gas could make it move out of position, but I tightened it up very hard to help prevent that. I'll have to check it every now and then to readjust it if it ever moves. In comparison the brake extensions are solid and could take a lot of abuse. 2. Lack of a second bolt to get the bracket to fit tightly on the brake pedal. 3. Instructions that came with it were useless and I threw them away. Other than that, pretty cool setup and wife is happy. Took me about an hour and a beer to do the install, taking two breaks to get the feeling back in my legs and feet.

My daughter is 4'8'' tall so when driving she was very close to the steering wheel which is a risk if the airbag is deployed. She has a VW Jetta 2015, so I decided to buy these pedal extenders so that she can move the seat a little bit back. These extenders work perfectly, obviously some adjustments need to be done before doing the final installation, it is easy to move the pieces (or remove the unnecessary ones) to have the right setup, in my daughter case I only require to extend the pedals a few inches, so I remove one piece in the break pedal extender to have the right setup. The difficult part to install these extenders is the car where you are working on, because is difficult to work in the floor of the car under the car board, with the seat at your right, so I’ll recommend to try to determine the pedal setup before trying to do the final installation, test with the driver that is going to use them, until she/he is comfortable with the setting, then tight any pieces that are not related to the attach of the extender to the original pedals, and finally install them. Start with the gas pedal, I think this was the one that I spent more time working on just because to reach the original pedal, and tight the screws was a little bit difficult just because of the location and space to work on. The break pedal was very easy to install, I just have to change one of the long screws by one of the provided shorter ones. Be sure to tight very well all the screws!! I drove the car before my daughter just to be sure that the extenders were working correctly and just in case I didn’t do the right installation. After several tests, I let my daughter to give it a try, and she now is so happy!! She is now driving in a “normal” position and without any problems. Finally, be sure to have the right tools to tight your screws, that definitively will make the installation easier. So far these extenders are working perfectly, and my daughter feels safer not being so close to the steering wheel.

The gas pedal extender suddenly slipped loose while driving on the highway, almost causing an accident that probably would have killed us. The design of the gas pedal extender is EXTREMELY dangerous, as there is only a single "clamping" arm with one wobbly point of contact. No matter how much I tried to tighten or secure this item, it was incredibly easy to just pop off the gas pedal with bare hands and no tools with only a little bit of force. I bought this item because my pregnant wife's belly is pressed up against the steering wheel. The extra five inches or so of reach were supposed to help keep her safe in case of an accident. Instead, it almost caused one. We could have lost our baby, or even our lives. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! YOU COULD DIE. YOUR LOVED ONES COULD DIE.

My wife is slightly under 5 feet tall. Meanwhile, I am easily more than 6 and a half feet tall. This product is a miracle because both of us can now safely drive the same vehicle. With these, she can adjust the driver's seat such that she can sit back half way, instead of before where she needed to sit all the way up front. It's no longer super dangerous for her to drive. Since we only have one car, we both need to be able to drive our vehicle. Normally, I always sit all the way back anyway. However, I regret to inform you that these do not come off easily once properly installed. You cannot easily adjust them for different drivers. You will have to keep the same configuration for all drivers. This may cause some discomfort in smaller vehicles. It takes some getting used to if you're tall, and you'll have to put the seat all the way down and back, but it's easily usable for both a short and tall couple. We have the pedals extended to their furthest possible reach. They are slightly uncomfortable for a tall driver such as myself, but for my wife they are absolutely perfect which is all I care about. Just remember, you have to keep them there once they're in.

My wife is 4' 10" and requested pedal extensions, I got her these. I installed them myself. They are fairly easy to install, the challenging part is tightening everything while trying to hold them in place. After you get that done it took a few times to re-adjust them to her liking. However after that was done she loves having them. The sun visor works for her now that she sits further away from the wheel. Also I am 5'6" so if you are any taller you don't install on a shared vehicle. I say this because I must move the seat all the way back to drive her van comfortably. I would recommend this product to anyone with a verticality challenged lady.

I bought and installed 2 of these now for my mom and aunt who are only 4 11. They really like them and makes driving much more comfotable for them. The peddles also seem to be nice and secure which is something I was worried about. Here are my complaints. First off the instructions suck and are literally useless besides the bad picture on the front. There is no doubt that you will be pretty frustrated and it will be more time consuming that you think it will. Im a little worried about the peddles getting caught on something or in some way coming loose while one of them is driving but my mom has had her on her jeep for almost 2 years now and we havent had to mess with them at all since they have been installed.
