I'm 5'3" and need use a small Alex too.
If Rosie, and Nikki's mom doesn't post pictures, l' try. I will say this. There is one draw back to the purse type carrier. When left open for Kaji to sit with his head sticking out, he tends to sit on one side of the bag. That makes it really uncomfortable to carry! I keep sliding him towards the middle, but he keeps creeping towards one of the ends. Other than that, I have no complaints.
