Is this bed ok for shorter people? I'm 5'3 and wondering if it will be hard to bend over and get out the baby (especially because of the front rail)?

When the baby is so small that you have to bend all the way over to pick her up, the mattress is at the highest level so you are not reaching far. By the time the baby is bigger and more mobile, you have to drop the crib down to the lower/lowest levels (to keep her from climbing out). By that time, she can stand up and reach for you to help out. If you had to bend over the rail and reach all the way down to the mattress placed on the lowest level, yes, it would be uncomfortable (I am 5'4" and this only occurs when my now-toddler refuses to wake up and I have to persist), but that should not happen often at all.

Honestly I'm pretty sure all cribs are the same height now. I'm 5'2" and don't have a problem with it.

I DID find it too tall, I'm 5'3" and put baby to sleep first in my arms then had to gently place her down. I didnt realize the crib was so tall until i put baby down on my nephews crib who was down all the way. I had to remove the decorative first bar in order to be more confortable.

The parents aren't tall, and they seem to be OK. I'm 5'4", and I find it accessible.

My wife is 5'3" and can get on it but is not confident riding it. The top of the seat at the lowest position is about 35" and the cross bar near the seat is 29" and arcs up to about 34 near the handle bars. I like the bike and use it to commute to work but it is fairly heavy and things happen when you are on the road. In those situations you really need to have the bike under your control. Hope this helps!

I am a 5'5 and this bike is pretty comfortable, although the seat is set almost all the way down..but that doesn't mean is not gonna be good for you, everybody's comfortable level is different...I think the best is to find one in store and see how it feels!

Agree with Mike H. The slats were just a hair too short. My husband (weight: 240) laid on his side and a few of the slats instantly fell out. For me (weight: 120), it was fine but I was a bit hesitant at first. Now that we've had the bed for about a month, so far so good. Overall, the structure of the bed is sturdy and feels sturdy.

I'm 5'2" and I don't have a problem with it and the seat isn't even on it's lowest adjustment, so I wouldn't think you would have a problem. :)

I`m only 5'9 and wife 5'2 We don`t have any problems with bike although I did upgrade seats for more comfortable ride. You may have to get longer seat post but other than that you shouldn`t have any problems. Do play with the gears to get used to them as it is dual drive, and communicate changes with each other.

It is! One of the selling points for me is the low height since I purchased it for my 4 year old who occasionally falls out. As far as standard beds go, this is on the "shorter" side.

Maybe a little, but not any more trouble than you'd have with any other crib. I'm 5" tall, and I have more trouble placing my baby in the crib than getting her out. I think getting a low footstool would help.

That is not a problem. I am 5'3" and there is still plenty of room to shorten the bike. It would probably accomodate someone who is shy of 5'.

I don't know if this is helpful but I am 5'2" and I have to stand on tippy toes to get my 20 month old into and out of the crib. It is currently on the lowest position. I think it's fine for taller people. We have been so happy with this crib. It's simple, easy to assemble and is high enough off the floor to put storage boxes underneath

My mom is 5'3 and so is my niece. They can ride it comfortably when it is lowered to the lowest height. My guess would be that it would be ok for you but I can not guarantee it. It would depend if your length came from your legs or (like me) the torso. Hope this helps. Good luck!

My Wife is 5'3" & she loves it. I have a hard time keeping her from using it. I have gotten to use it very little.

I am 5'3 so I honestly dont know if it will fit you because it was too steep when I put it together and I had to put 2 boards and a towel under the head bar to raise it up some off the floor so it wouldnt be too much on my back when I laid on it. I know some folks put it on their bed or something to sit it up higher. It should fit you just right if you raise it off the floor alittle higher but other than that I would say no. You never know until you try it though, the reviews & I could be wrong.

No, I am only 5'3" and my son is under 5' and we both use it comfortably. Just don't install the chest support.

HI Jason, I bought this about 3 months ago and love it. I'm 5' 11". If you notice the small strap up top, that will align under your chest and waist fits accordingly. I have twin daughters - both about 22 Pounds - they love it, doesn't impact my back negatively in any way. One feature I like is underneath the babies seat are tightening straps which raise and lower the level of the baby to sit up higher or lower. Definitely recommend. Let me know if you need anything else. Joe jhargett@graebel.com

There are adjustments. I was reading reviews before I purchased this item and because it's lower than most cribs, I thought it would fit my petite frame perfectly. I have to say however, that even on the highest adjustment, I found myself leaning over pretty far to put my baby down. I'm exactly 5' 0", so I have to stand on my tippy toes to do this. We have the soybean sealy mattress. Having said all of that though, I absolutely love my babyletto modo. I would imagine that I'd have to bend over even further for most other cribs, and at this point in, I'm pretty used to it now.

I am 5'3" and it works fine for me. You should be able to adjust it to fit your height. You will probably be pleased with how light it is.
