Does this work well for shorter girls (under 5'3")? I have read that many other bands are too tall in the back for someone with a short torso.

I'm petite 5' and have no problems with it. I wear mine all day long including while I'm sitting. It seems to be the perfect width. Most days I forget I'm even wearing it even into the 3rd trimester.

I am 5'3.5 and was size 6 pre-pregnancy, and this band worked well for me. It is just a basic elastic band. Sometimes I had to wear it more at an angle - higher on the small of my back and come down to the bottom of my belly for best support, but it worked!

I'm 5'5" but I have a short torso. This is very thin, so it shouldn't be affected by torso length.

I'm 5'5 but I'd have to say yes because it's not very wide at all. I was surprised something so small could actually help but it does. It's not tall in the back at all.

The band is literally only about 4 inches high all around. I can't imagine it being too tall for any size.

I'm not sure about under 5'3, but I'm 5'3 and short-waisted, and it works on me. Its basically just a big piece of elastic, and you can move it up or down your back to find a position that's comfortable for you.

You might need to make some modifications to it. My wife is 5'8" and after we made some mods it worked great. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the height being an issue but for me this dug into my hips horribly because it's all one width all the way around and not contoured around the hip area. I returned this after a day because it was so uncomfortable. Got an Upsie Belly at BBB and never looked back!

My husband is 6'3" and pushed our twins in it. He said he didn't notice it being to short. Hope that helps. Maybe find a store that carries it to test it before buying it.

No, I'm 5'8 and it only reaches the middle of my back. So for you it may go above the small of your back.

I'm very short, 5'0 and it works well for me. The 3rd graders may have a problem as it if the ball is fully inflated that they may not reach the ground.

While the shoulder straps/torso length is adjustable, it's my understanding that this particular pack was made for smaller torsos. My son, who is 5'4", has his pack adjusted to the next to longest adjustment. He does have a longer torso for his size, but I don't know if it will fit someone who is 5'11". You may be able to find a video online that gives you the specific measurements.

I'm 5'5" and it's goof for me. Also, my niece who is 5'8" finds it a good fit. It may be overwhelming for folks shorter than 5'5" but should work well for your height.

I would say that I am on the Shorter size (5.6) and have broader shoulders than they rest. It seems to fit me well. Hope all works for you. Overall, it also it awesome. I wore mine today in fact. Terrible down pours, work shirt stayed dry as a bone.

My daughter is approx that tall and it works well for her . It's adjustable. I highly recommend it!

No, it can't fit ALL sizes. The loops for the shoulders are NOT adjustable even though there are multiple hooks on the back strap to adjust for width that way. It probably can cover a pretty large range but it's possible to fall outside that range. I'm 5'5" and about 113 lbs and fall on the too-small end of the range. I'm too slight for this band even on the smallest settings. It is completely useless on me as it just hangs loosely with no tension whatsoever.

yes, I bought this for my son who is exactly 6'3" and he is very comfortable in it. It is not the best for shorter statures. He likes it, I'd recommend it.

Yes, I highly recommend the BandIT band for smaller person because it's easily adjustable to fit various arm circumferences. I'm a petite woman too at only 5 feet tall. My arm is thin, similar to my teenage daughter and I really like this product to relieve the discomforts of tendonitis.

My daughter is a petite 3 and a half year old and it fits her great. A little lose but still a great fit that allows her to grow into it a little. I will measure my daughters head when I get home and repost. Btw sorry for the late reply.

Hi Jeny! I'm 5.5 and It worked perfectly. It has good support for your back and is light to carry. Hope you enjoy it!

That really depends on you - how long your torso is. I am 5'8" with a long torso so I am able to wear both sizes. I have two girl friends that are shorter than me I would say pretty average size and they got the S/M and I adjusted it to fit them both really well. If you aren't sure, head to an REI or some place that carries them and try them on and have someone fit it for you and then get from Amazon.

It was not that short. I am 5"3" and my husband is 5'7". And he had no problem using it. I was great to use. I am glad that my husband bought it.

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.

My son is 5'3 and is in middle school and it fits him great... It hangs right at his waist and isn't droopy. I don't know how tall you are but I think this will work.. I hope this helps!!
