Hi Diane,

Well, there are expensive things you can do such as buying a different car or swapping out the standard seats for a set of, for example, Recaro or Corbeau bucket seats, but as a bad back sufferer myself I'd suggest booking in to see a good osteopath or physiotherapist. Very rarely will a car seat be the actual culprit - it's more likely that your symptoms are just worse after driving because sitting down for long periods is the very worst thing for your back.
