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!

I've found those fitting higher up on the "waist" are better. I tried several brands before I found one that worked. All of them seem to run small so I'm not surprised to hear you're having troubles with an extra small. Good luck.

I'm 5'4", 25" waist, and there's still room to tighten it. It's pretty short too - the bottom of it hits around my belly button. Shoulders are pretty narrow and wouldn't be a problem. If this doesn't work, I remember seeing some with a neoprene carrier that were super that looked good. I know a few people with mir vests, and everyone really likes them

I'm not petite, but my 12 year old son, who is your height wears my vest with no problems. The vest falls just at his waist, whereas mine (I'm 5'7), falls a bit above the waistline. The positioning does not see, to interfere with comfortable walking abilities. The Velcro straps allow you to tighten it around your waist as needed, which helps the fit to be customized for comfort.

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 :/

I have short legs. Hen I first pull mine up it's more like 6 " above the knee. I just measured, 17.5. It does work it's way down to the 2 " mark tho, that's where I just found it, I've worn it all day it's bed time now. Measurement at 2" above, 16. Measurement around the knee, 14.5. I've worn mine every day for 3 months, after a few minutes, I forget that it's even on.

Not only do the straps adjust; but the belly band can be adjusted as well. I am 5'3" and my fiancée is 6"3; and he can adjust it to fit him as well as me using it. Love it!

I am only 5'1" and it fits me perfectly, so I would not think it would work as comfortably on a taller individual. My husband is 6'7" and I asked him to try it, and the rest did not quite fit his back. I know that neither height fits yours exactly, but I hope this info helps you to figure the odds!

I put the backpack on my girlfriend (5'2" and small-medium build) and she mentioned that it fit like a normal backpack to her (which she liked - considering she normally wears smaller backpacks. She also mentioned that the bottom strap fit perfectly to her waist. So I am sure it would be better for someone a little taller. For me, as a 6'2" man of broader shoulders, I can say this backpack was a little small for me. It fit a lot into it, but it looked small on my body type. Hope that helps!

I'm 5"3. I use mine for back exercises. I purchased the teal colored one and it works great.

I am very short (under 5 ft, but that's all I'm saying...) and it's a good workout for me. I think if you're exceptionally tall, you might have a bad time.

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.

The "Petite Core" is sized for petite people. I'm 5'1". Probably works for kids too. Regular would probably be better for your height.

My daughter is also 2.5, 36 lbs and the same height, and as my review stated this product gave her a horrible front and back wedgie. Not sure if this is an issue for boys but I would think it might be. We did let out all the "slack" in the strap between the legs but that did not alleviate the wedgie at all. Hope this info is helpful.

I bought this for my wife who is also about 5' 3" and the Petite club set works quite good for her. If you buy Petite that implies pre defined club lengths to suit women of these heights.

I am 5'3" and have no problems with this. The height is adjustable. Hope that helps! :)

The band will work for you matter what height you are...the issue is going to be how tall of a door frame you have your pullup bar attached to.
