Fold Away Lightweight Adjustable Walking Stick / Cane and Seat from Flipstick

I have bad back and carry around small folding stool in my backpack so that I could sit and rest as needed. My sister told me about this cane chair and after trying out hers I purchased one myself. What's brilliant about this design is that handle is built into seat and if you need to sit you just flip the handle on the side viola an instant chair.There is cheaper version available but that one is not height adjustable.While anyone can use this as regular cane, those who want to use it as seat need to have good sense of balance when sitting. It is kind of pricy but the ability of having portable chair any time you needed to rest is god-send for me.

This stick is very portable and quick to use. I keep it in the shopping cart while shopping and sit when I am looking for items in the isles. It is very lightweight and takes only a few seconds to establish the cane.It is shaped like a bicycle seat and I wish it had a little padding. Also be sure to sit "perfectly" on the seat. If you are a little forward or backward on the seat it is too flimsy to hold up. With this one caution, I would buy it again as I have not found anything that works better and is easier to use.

A little bulky and cumbersome to use, but very helpful once you get familiar with how to use it.

Basically, it is a walking stick with a seat that folds down. When in use, you have a 3 legged chair — but two of those legs are yours. It is perfectly suitable if you need a chair to sit on. If you plan to relax, this chair isn’t for you. I use it when I must be in line for a period. If I want to relax, I will find a bench or sidewalk cafe.

I really really liked the idea of this. I really thought it would solve my problems of my back hurting when I have to stand for a while. I found that if I can find a place to lean my back against a wall when using this, it's not too bad. But when I try to use it without something to lean on I have balance problems. I think that since I have knee and hip arthritis problems too that it makes it hard for me to balance and feel safe and/or comfortable on this device. I'm sad, but I am probably going to send it back. I had such high hopes. It is very lightweight and is easy to unfold, then fold back up. Also, mine did not come with a very long shoulder strap on the case, unless I am just not adjusting it correctly. Not sure, seems sewn together so it cannot be made longer. Good luck with yours if you try it!

This is my second walking-seat stick (I lost my first one in an airport). Once I mastered the balancing strategy, it was almost second nature to move along in those seemingly endless airport lines. The added advantage of being able to fold it up and put it in the carrying case provided is a plus. Admittedly, this cane/seat is not designed for the very heavy or those with just a little cushion in the buttocks region. In summary, if you find yourself having to frequently stand for long periods of time, and you can master the balancing routine, then this product is for you. Did I mention that it's adjustable!?

This product was exactly what I was looking for. It is lightweight, convenient, and functional. Unfortunately it is not designed for short people. I’m 5’3” and when I adjusted it at the shortest length I could only sit on the seat by standing on my tiptoes. There was no way to sit on it and be stable. I had to return it.

It’s fabulous but does require good balance because it’s a single pole , not a tripod like many which makes it more stable. Highly recommended for people with good balance but qur
