Allison, I'm not as height challenged as you are at 5-8, but at 5-2 my
wife knows exactly how you feel. We carry a little box in the Minivan,
it's made of sturdy one by wood and is a 1 foot cube, with a slot in the
top for the hand, work's pretty well when she has to reach up. As a
matter of fact it works so well we have a couple of them scattered
around the house.
