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 am a petite woman as well. The adjustable band worked great for me. It adjusted to my small(none existent muscles and such) arms perfectly!

I am 5'6" and it goes from my shoulders to my waist. If you have a short torso, I would say to look for something else. If you have a long torso, you should be OK.

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

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.

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

Depends on her frame size. I'm short (5'5") & stocky (160, 43" chest) and I have a pretty normal torso length and very short legs. It fits me fine, but someone with a shorter torso might find that it would rub uncomfortably at the waist. I wouldn't run with it, bouncing is uncomfortable. But I have done modified burpees and it's been fine

I think it depends on what you want to do with them. I'm 5'7, and there are times that I have to put a loop in the band and stand on the loop to make it short enough. I have to do that when the exercise calls for sitting in a chair, but if you'll be standing for all of your exercises, it may be okay.

I am 4'10" and it does not restrict my movement by any means. It does not fit tight around your waist, but rather sits on your hips, so it should work quite well for you.

That's a tough question for me only because the one I bought it for is 6'2". I will say it is made shorter on the torso length than expected because it almost is on the verge of appearing too short. It may be a perfect fit for 5'6". Wish I could help more.

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.

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

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 5'4", with an average-proportioned torso, and this fit perfectly fine on my back...all the pieces were a bit big for me, but I didn't notice the back feeling too tall. I found it very easy to adjust, though, and I was just so grateful for the support in the last month of pregnancy that I'm not sure I would've really noticed if it was uncomfortable!

Although the student this was bought for is about 5'8" tall, I don't see any problems with a shorter person using it. She is very pleased with it.

I am 5'10 and it worked for me. That's how i started. The moved up to using bands and now i am bangin them out like nothing.

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!
