How do you remove a section to make it the right height for a short person.?

I do not think there is any way to remove a section because of the construction.

You can't make it shorter, but there is a shorter version. Browse the listings for it.

I could not figure out a way to do it without ruining it. I plan on buying one that actually is the right size (i am 5'2" and it is better suited to someone at least 5'5")

OOPS: When I actually took it out of the package, I discovered that it could not be shortened, only lengthened. I am 5'4" and the pole top "as is" comes to under my arm pit. That is OK for me, but I assume that for someone 5', it would come to about the top of that person's shoulder. OLD INCORRECT ANSWER: I just purchased my second stick. The first one I gave to a relative. This one has an adjustable section. I actually haven't used it yet (I bought it for emergencies) but I was pleased to see the adjustability.

i'm afraid you are kind of on your own on this one, as the pole is not designed to be adjusted or shortened, beyond the adjustable section at the top, which brings it to 4 feet tall at it's shortest length.. it has a 'shock cord' construction, with thick elastic inside metal tubing.if you are handy, you might be able to cut the inside elastic and remove a section , but then you would have to figure out how to shorten and reattach or knot the elastic as you try to reassemble it..it is totally up to you to put it all back together in working order, and i decided not to risk it. i am 5'6" and it works very well for me. it almost puts itself together when i take it out of the bag and give it a shake and it folds back togehter very well too. i used it during extensive travel, urban and rural, while recovering from a knee injury and found it to be sturdy , reliable and a perfect fit for my day bag and certainly for my carryon bag. this is longer than a typical 'stick' when it is unfolded. that said, i got use to it pretty fast and after awhile i preferred it.

Yes you could shorten the legs by cutting a few inches off either top or bottom.

I think the only way to shorten it would be to remove the wheels. The poles that form the legs are not adjustable.

There are set height points it clips into. I am 5'4" and use it 2nd up from the bottom!

There is a notched ring at the bottom of the top section which must be turned to loosen, then pressing the button and twisting the bottom section slightly will cause the button to hide so that the bottom section can now be shifted up or down to the desired height. (You might want the help of a second person to push the button while you twist). When that is achieved, twist the bottom section back so that the button will now fall into the corresponding hole. Now, re-tighten the ring at the bottom of the top section and you're all set. Enjoy your walking partner!!!

You can adjust the height - only with a saw - or a drill. See the other answer.

Sorry...unable to help you....my sister took it to put it away for my Mom.....so don't have access to it. Not too tall or too short is what I would tell you. Perfect height for most.

Hello, the way I adjusted is that I did not use the middle section. The horizontal bars cannot be changed, but you can shorten the width of the vertical bars. Good luck

Any height will work, the length is great, but I was less than impressed with the overall quality. I tossed it after about three weeks. Hope this helps you make a decision.

No, sadly you can't. :( it's also a lot shorter than you think it is. It was hard to put together at one point because some peices were just inches off than what they were supposed to be.

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

there is no height adjustment but I suppose you could cut to the height your trying to get

We used a 2 X 4 remnant piece we had laying around and used towels to make it just the right height. Also it helps to have extra hands!

I can't say for certain, as I am fairly tall, but I believe a shorter person might have trouble. The back section is quite long, and even on me it would bunch up and get uncomfortable. But maybe that would not be the case with a shorter person? I'm sorry, that wasn't much help :/

There are three different settings on the legs. This allows for short to about one and half inch height between settings.This allow flexibility depending height desired.

Try removing one of the bars inserted into the side rails to make it shorter. That worked for us.

yes the height of the unit was a problem for me as well. for normal adults. I belive the unit is to short. however, with small modification this unit is worth purchasing. I placed a 14 inch stool underneath to raise the unit.
