Comments about Folding Cane with Seat:

Take along when I go anyplace where I'm not able to stand in long lines, or if no bench or seat when I need to rest while walking the dog or just
taking a walk. good to know this works.
Folds easily can take in car, not to happy with the two handles, not easy to hold onto, not like a cane... too wide for smaller hands & little difference in the two sides. felt slightly off not as steady as the cane.

Comments about Folding Cane with Seat:

This is a fantastic product however while traveling in Europe one of the bolts on the leg came off and was lost. could not find another bolt to fix it. When home my son replaced the missing bolt with a more secure nut and bolt device. Now it is perfect. Be sure you check that bolt so that it stays tight.

Ideal for those with balance problems and chronic fatigue. Helps in the shower and tub. Keeps from slipping and makes it easier to get in and out. Much more versatile than a regular cane. Great for resting while waiting in line. Helps steady balance problems. So light and easy to store away. A regular cane would not be as helpful. Must have the seat too.

My husband who has major back problems and Parkinson's has found this product to be just what he needs when we go out and he may have to stand in one spot for a while. In fact, a couple of our friends have also purchased one after trying ours out. Truly a great product!

Ordering my 2nd one--gave away 1st one

By lady_loves_rain from Birmingham, AL on 5/25/2009

Best Uses:

Indoors, Long Distances, Outdoors, Short Distances, Wet Weather

Describe Yourself:

Elderly, Long Term User

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Folding Cane with Seat:

Took me a little time to get used to walking with this because of more than one balance point, but I love it.
I cannot stand for long. Great for waiting for bus. Waiting in lines at airport. Use it to sit down while doing chores that normally would require bending over frequently. Can use it to rest periodically while shopping--like at a farmers market, yard sale, or when all the motorized carts are busy at the supermarket.
I gave mine to my brother-in-law so I'm ordering another one. It's very useful for him too.
Quite sturdy--I weight around 250 lbs, and it supports my weight just fine.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Folding Cane with Seat:

I purchased two of these, for my frail 78 year old mother and one for my sister that cannot stand too long, for Mother's Day. This is the first product of it's kind that can support a higher weight, that I have ever seen. Both are very pleased with it. Extreemly useful. It gets my mother out of the house more often. My sister can really use it when waiting in long lines.
