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.

My wife is 5'4" and she used it just fine. I do not know if your height will be an issue or not. Sorry I am of little help.

I wouldn't recommend this bed for a person of height. If the were the only one in the bed maybe or if it were only for a few days at a time. I have a son-in-law well over 6 foot tall and I would not ask him to sleep in this bed.

My husband is 6'4" and he thinks it's very comfortable. He doesn't have to bend over to push our little one. It is also a very smooth ride.

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.

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.

The wheels are about 2 feet back from the end of the bed. The rails are the correct length. The end result is that the bed might tip up if you sit on the end of it. That isn't a problem for my wife and I. I prefer the way it is made as tje recessed wheel design has saved me from stubbing my toes as I had on our previous frame.

The foot rest is adjustable and I am 5'2" and had no problem. There was still room for adjustment. Neither should you. You don't put a lot of strain on your knee joints as you are held by the ankles. Invert slowly and use the less angled setting the first time, then determine if you can do more. Ask your doctor if they are okay with you using an inversion table.

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

That is not a problem. I am 5'3" and there is still plenty of room to shorten the bike. It would probably accomodate someone who is shy of 5'.

My wife is also 5"3" and it's tough for her to push it up from the load assist in to the J cradles. For our boats, we found it works a little easier to start with the cockpit facing inward and the roll the boat on to the J autoloader so that the cockpit ends up facing out when in the final position. She has to use a step stool to reach that high.

Depends. I'm 5 4. No problem but my dad who is 5 8, said feels too tight. It is a twin size. The lower one has no footboard and headboard so little more flexible. But again, it was reaaky stinky for few months......that bad cheap painty smelll......awwwww...just to warn you.

My boys are fine with it. If you're uncertain about your little one, visit a local furniture store to see how your child manages to climb on and off. That's what we did. As for height, I don't think it's any different than any other bed. I do recommend purchasing a few more boards from the hardware store. Hope this helped!

Yes! I'm 5'3 ... You just have to push the stroller with your arms all the way extended... Kind of annoying but I still love the stroller

I don't know if this is helpful but I am 5'2" and I have to stand on tippy toes to get my 20 month old into and out of the crib. It is currently on the lowest position. I think it's fine for taller people. We have been so happy with this crib. It's simple, easy to assemble and is high enough off the floor to put storage boxes underneath

I think the tall mattress would be okay. The only thing I overlooked was that I could not use the bed skirt any longer and I really miss that. May have a seamstress alter around the beams. My husband was not happy with the beams. He thought they were too whipmy for the weight of the bed so he reinforced them more which took some time. Overall, I think this is a good bed for the price.

I am 5'2 and I do not have any troubles riding this bike. I think it is different for everyone, but I feel comfortable on it. I have pretty short legs too and I absolutely love this bike.
