If the backwards portion of Spaceship Earth was uncomfortable for you......

[Childs1stTime2Disney]

do you have any tips? It hurt my back so much, the backwards pressure on my back/spine on the seat on the way backwards down. But my little one loves it so much, I hate to not see that little face in awe if I have to stay off the ride. Does anyone have any tips? I tried to sit in the corner of the seat, so my spine wasn't directly flat on the seat. I'm wondering if I took a thin cushion if it would help? Can anyone relate? Anyone find a way to make this downwards descent more comfortable?

Sometimes I will wear a thick sweatshirt and tie the sleeves around my waist … the hood & thicker material seems to help provide a “ cushion “ right at my tailbone , if I want to ride roller coasters, etc …Maybe that will help .

I usually end up sitting in the corner like you said and putting my sweater behind me. But I am always cold even when it is 90 out so always have the sweater.

This hurts my spine as well. I try and sit 'sideways" so my shoulder is take a bit more of the pressure.
