Drive Medical RTL10360 Foldable Walking Cane with Seat, Bronze

I have sciatica and when I walk, I can't find a place to sit. I use this for long distance walking because I feel off balance and unsafe. this is also a great seat for anywhere...concerts, camping, parades etc... It's functional. It takes awhile to use because it's different from a cane but I like the extra leg for support.

The useable seat is 5.5 x 14. This is different from description, the 'from the manufacturer' measurements, and an answer I got! Manufacturer got the seat to floor right - 22 inches. I am 5.4 and weight 132 and it works as a 'straddle' seat and a seat with the foam grips on both sides. It is true- as another reviewer said -my hips are slightly squeezed when seated this way, so if you are much bigger you must do the straddle way. Quite comfortable for a rest or to get a rock out of your shoe. I think the difference between the 1 star and 5 star reviews is the expectation. For a very disabled, heavy, unstable, or very elderly this is not going to be a good product. The video shows a somewhat unstable women using it as a cane and I think you can see - it doesn't look very stable. If you REALLY depend on putting a LOT of weight on a cane, I would get the 4 legged one as that is the safest most stable to really lean on. Also, if you are extremely heavy I can see how it may not work - so the 250 pound limit is more like 150. As far as straddling it in a dress. You don't have to lift a leg over like mounting a horse, just drop the lower foam grip between your knees and right the legs on the ground and sit. Would not work in a mini skirt, but if you're buying this, you probably are wearing a longer dress! For a person who can walk and would like a seat to rest every once in awhile and would benefit from some walking support this is easy to use, light to carry and -stable. With this as the expectation my overall rating is 5 noting it has all three attributes. Light, sturdy, and stable at a low price point.

Best cane seat around!! I've been using this seat for at least 6 yrs (said 9 years ago😃). Used the round tri-pod style for a year, found it to be dangerously tippy. With 4 feet, this sling cane is quite sturdy as a cane or a seat. Pictured is how you would use it as a seat. For some reason they show the person astride, but it's much safer to sit down on and stay there when seated like a chair. It holds up to 250 lbs. To close it you use the attached velcro wrap to roll the seat over the fabric's bars, very nifty and tidy. When walking, it becomes a sturdy cane, on which you can confidently put all your weight if you're avoiding pain in a foot, knee, hip or back. I use it both for walking when in pain and also as a seat to keep me from passing out, such as in a grocery store line. When I'm not using it for pain, it simply slips over my arm to it's crook. It gave me back the ability to go out places, when I have energy, that I couldn't do before, such as a grocery or department store. BTW, it's not very heavy at all because it's a strong aluminum. I've gone through 4 or five only because when I leave it unattended people have taken it. Now I put my return address labels in several places and no one takes it. I only had one break, and that was because I had been using it in sand a lot on a vacation. It can take sand, just not as carelessly as I was using it. The only poor thing about it is the rubber feet which the aluminum cuts down and through. So while you're ordering this, get 2 pair of 3/4" feet for canes. They're reinforced with metal and last forever. Of note - now made in China & grip is irritating because the 2 grips are now too close together (med sz hands)

Like many others, I have tried the three legged cane with a seat and found it lacking. This one, however, I love. I find the sling seat more comfortable than the 3 legged plastic one. I’ve sat both straddling like it says to but also sideways. On level or mostly level ground both work fine. (I’m female, 5’5”, 150 pounds if that helps.) If you are on an incline you will want to straddle this. I waited in line over an hour to get vaccinated and it was a very steep hill. I sat straddled on this and it worked like a champ. Pushing down on the front handle when seated was very study and helped me get up. Getting up as the line inched along and sitting back down was a breeze. I will admit after more than an hour I was glad to sit in a regular chair, but I never felt like I wanted to get up from this because it was so uncomfortable. For me this is the best purchase I’ve made for my health. It opens up so many doors to things I can do now. When it’s folded up I like using it over my “regular” cane. Folded for walking it works like a two legged cane. It seems to provide more support to me with the extra legs and just flows better with my stride. I find I don’t feel the need to lean on it when I’m walking like I do my other cane, so I can walk straighter, which leads to less pain. And when I’m standing briefly enough that I don’t need to sit it definitely provides more support for me to lean on over a regular cane. In those instances I usually stand with it folded in front of me and lean on it some for support. But be prepared, people will ask about it because it’s so great. My physical therapist had never seen one like this and now she recommends it to lots of people.

Please do not buy this. It is very dangerous and unstable. My mother fell off of it.

Well made. Light weight seat.

I’m very happy with this purchase. I have a very bad back but I needed to get on a walking routine. The path I walk on has no place to sit down. This “cane/seat” is very light weight and not had to Cary in one hand while walking if one doesn’t need it to use as a cane. (I do use it like that in steep inclines). It’s perfect to open up and sit for a spell to recoup. I feel it’s very sturdy. I’m 76 years old and weigh 160. It works great does my needs. It would be great to take on walking tours and such!

A clever design, and very sturdy. I badly injured my leg and ankle and need a cane to get around while I recover. I would never have thought to consider this odd-looking design except my disabled sister will not go anywhere without hers. It's not height-adjustable, so I don't think it would work well for anyone who's very short or somewhat tall, but it's perfect for my 5'4" height. And the seat is a godsend, especially if you're newly injured or easily tired. Just unlatch the velcro and joila! You have a seat. Be forewarned, though: it's a bit narrow for people who are heavy. And you do need to be careful when sitting down. The instructions say to straddle it, but I find that'a impractical --- i couldn't possibly swing my leg over thr seat --- so I simply take special care to hold both handles when I sit, to prevent it from tipping. One last feature: I notice that the cross bars (the bars to which the mesh seat is attached) are also the perfect height for pushing off from a sitting position. That's ideal. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat. (The price here on Amazon is less than half what my sister paid at a local medical supply house.)

Very useful and easy to carry.

I was very happy with my purchase IT DID ALL I EXPECTED

Je cherchais un siège pliant car je ne peux marcher sans pouvoir me reposer régulièrement, et les bancs publics sont rares. Cette canne-siège légère, pratique et stable répond à mes besoins. Livraison raide et informe, je suis très satisfait.

Me ha servido muchísimo.... La llevo siempre en el coche... En los viajes lo mejor.... Para mí gusto debería estar un poquito ( 2") más largo el asiento.... Para personas más anchas ... Aunque quedara un poquito más baja la altura... Eso sería menos problemático.... Pero para mí. exelente. ....

todo exelente
