I'm a tiny lady, 97 pounds and 5ft even. At first, I didn't think this would help me much but I was getting backaches every time I went on a joy ride in my golf cart,.... "Let me tell you", this will save you lots of pain if you have to sit on the edge of the seat to reach golf cart peddles. It's made very well, firm but soft Support, comes off and on easily with velcro, just incase my husband wants to drive. Stitched nicely with satin fabric that doesn't feel to hot or cold...I'm very happy with it. To me, the Back Buddy was defiantly worth purchasing.

Can be best described as an overprice seat cushion. It is in essence the back of a chair, nothing custom or unique about it. Would be best used to help shorter people reach the peddles, it does not provide any special lumbar support for which is was described. The worst customer service you could imagine. Most inquiries are left unanswered, and only available via email. The most aggressive return policy I have found, meaning, if you don't love it, it would not benefit you to return it. They will claim you have to pay original shipping (which was free so they make up a number), return shipping, and a 30% restocking fee, which totals the amount or close to the full original payment. Buyer beware.

I bought the Back Buddy for my mom, who is 89 years old and drives a golf cart. She loves it ! It allows her to reach the pedals and provides her with comfort and back support. Thank you.

Gets me closer to the steering wheel and pedals. Our new golf cart is 3 inches further away from the steering wheel than our old golf cart. This cushion really helps. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it slides side to side. I think because of the shape of my seat back on our ezgo

considering what I paid for it, I don't think it fits very well on my club car seat. I think too that buckles would be better than the Velcro which is kinda hard to get to on the backside of the seat. I would not buy it again or recommend it to a friend.

My cart has a continuous back seat so only one band attaches. Hard to install securely.

I love my back buddy. Not only does it allow me to comfortably reach the peddles, but the sides keep me centered and stable in the seat! It slides easily over to the passenger side when I'm not driving. It is exactly what I needed 🙂 Thank you!

This back support pillow REALLY helped me ! I can now drive the golf cart like an "average" sized person ( I am only 4'11" tall), without having to put a block of 2x4 piece of wood on the gas pedal. No more foot fatigue, too! I am so glad I purchased this.

I can finally reach the pedals and steering wheel without sitting forward . My husband, who has lower back issues is also appreciating the back support. It is a well made product and I expect that it will be proven durable. Bonus! Made in the USA!

I really like the backrest for golf cart as had made it easier for my sister to drive. However, very disappointed in quality of stitching. There is two places on bottom where stitching is coming lose. Also the stitching is puckered in many places. For paying this amount of money, the quality of seeing should be that of an excellent seamstress.. Is the products inspected before shipping?

I'm a ranger on a golf course and the lumbar support is a back saver! Although it's a little pricey for a back pillow, I give it 5 stars and recommend this product 100%.

I was having back problems from riding I. The cart…I’m only 5’2”. I couldn’t reach the pedals without sitting on the edge of the seat and pulling myself with the steering wheel. The back buddy solved the problem! It is super comfortable. The Velcro straps are tuff and durable. Great product. My short friends have all been trying it out! Thanks for such a great product! 👍

I'm 5'2" and could not reach the brake on my new golf car. Your pillow worked perfectly and had the value added bonus of being very comfortable. Thank you for making a much needed product for vertically challenged people.

It works just fine except that the straps are too short to fit around the seats that we have so I had to get extra Velcro to make it work

I loved the look. It's very nice. Unfortunately it didn't give me the lumbar support I was looking for my golf cart seat. There is still a big void or gap at the bottom. I thought it would be more slanted like that to give support at the bottom. I went back to using a big pillow

These are excellent back cushions. I ended up ordering two, even though I'm 5 ft 5 and my husband 6 ft 3. They worked for both of us. High quality, easy to attach and they stay put. Highly recommend!

The back buddy was worth the wait! I am 5' tall and the cushion is just what I needed! The lumbar sides wrap around you and it is so comfortable but the best part is that I can drive my golf cart like I drive my vehicle! I'm not stretched out trying to reach the wheel and the pedals! I highly recommend this back buddy! Thank you for an excellent product and made in the USA! Thank you!

I live in a golf cart community, so my golf cart is for much than just golf. Some of the drives are quite long (45 minutes+) and before I had this cushion, my knee would be aching from stretching to reach the gas pedal and hold it down for that long. Now, no more stretching, no more pain! I do wish that I could modify the cushion to not push me forward quite so much, but the improvement is quite dramatic! Definitely recommended for those vertically challenged golf car owners like myself!

I love this pillow ... but they should have made the straps about 6 inches longer so you could crisscross them to prevent the cushion from sliding ... would be a simple fix and make it easier to use. The cushion often slips when going around corners.
