Driving without back pain: the best tips and tricks | 5 The most important tools for a good car seat 1. The basic structure of the seat must be stable and the backrest must follow the natural shape of the spine The firm basic structure of your seat increases your safety and can provide sufficient support for your body. You can recognise that the backrest is shaped to suit the spine when you look at the backrest from the side. You should be able to recognise a slight S-shape here. Also make sure the backrest is high enough - your back should not protrude over the backrest. 2. Seat height, seat tilt and seat spacing must be adjustable with sufficient adjustment travel. The depth of the seat can also be adjusted The basis for the adjustability of your seat is the seat height adjustment and the adjustability of the seat distance to the steering wheel. By adjusting the angle of the seat, you can also ensure that your thighs are well supported. It is also very important that you can adjust the length of the seat - also known as the seat depth. If you adjust the seat depth to your thigh length, the seat pressure is optimally distributed over your buttocks and thighs. This makes driving much more comfortable for you, especially on long journeys. Electric or manual - the main thing is adjustable Tip An electric adjustment further improves ease of use on your tour. Did you know that doctors recommend making small adjustments to the seat position for longer journeys? This would also be easy to do! © Volkswagen
