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.

It will be fine. I am 5'9" and I had to raise the seat a few inches. My son who is 5'3" can ride it, he can't put feet down on ground when on the seat so it's a bit big for him.

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.

This will work for you! my mother was shorter than 5'....just don't try to put it together, have someone else do it!

I'm also 5' 3"- and I'm able to ride it comfortably... When I brake and need to stand still, I am on my tippie toes & I do have to hop up a bit on the seat... but it's a great bike! I am completely happy with it!

Hard to say for sure...I am 5'3 and it was just fine for me. An older child will weight it down a bit; so it will most likely be just fine. Good luck!

I'm 5'3" and it works fine for me, I can't see that it would be any different for someone a few inches shorter. The one difference that I noticed with this machine compared to other row machines is that you can't accumulate momentum, which is actually really nice, it makes it so your first pull on the bar is the same difficulty, as every time you pull it, if that makes sense.

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.

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.

I am 5'4" and have not had any issues. I am sure you would be fine using it, and it is adjustable since you can always release/add air to your comfort.

I wouldn't suggest you buy this if you're taller than 5' 4"...it's a pretty small bed, unless you're ok with your feet sticking out.

yes, yes, yes! I'm 4'10" so when were looking for cribs I wanted something that was still going to be easy for me to lay baby down in once we had to lower the mattress. My son's mattress is on the second to last setting and I can still lay him down with out feeling like I'm tossing him into the crib.

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!

I'm only about 5'3 and have no problems at all with this bike. The seat does adjust enough for you to be comfortable while you're using it. :-)

well... I'm 5'2" and I find it a little uncomfortable to push because its high... I had to adjust it some. I don't think it will be too small, because youll probably end up using the top bar ..I always use the sides. :) You might have to bend a little, but not too much.

I am 5'4" and it is fine for me.Been awhile since I put it together but i think I recall that there are options for the seat placement.

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.
