Plant Posted July 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I know there's been some discussion about a cane with a seat, but as you know the search feature is not very helpful! If you've used one what would you recommend? My big butt needs to fit fairly comfortably :) . TIA, Fern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted July 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2019 you'd be better off with a rollater. the cane seats are not very stable and are on the smaller diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Why don't you go to a hospital supply store and try them out? EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted July 11, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thanks, but I really want a cane with a seat. Guess no one use's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algebralovr Posted July 11, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I own one. The one I have was about $22 on Amazon. The height is not adjustable, and it has 3 legs. It folds someone flat and then you spread it into a tripod for using as a seat. Not comfortable, but works for standing in long lines. Not appropriate if too heavy. I’m 5’9” and about 190lbs. It is not all that great as a cane or as a seat, but works for a short time for either. I use it when I will be standing in line for 20 minutes or so. For $22, good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted July 12, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thanks. That's the kind of thing I'd be using it for. I can sit and walk okay, but standing in one place is not good! What brand is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algebralovr Posted July 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Mine is a “Drive Medical” from Amazon. For $22 it was worth the chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEWITHH Posted July 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I bought one and only used it for one excursion one time. I am small, 5 ' and lightweight 100 lbs. but it was not comfortable for me as a cane, since it is not adjustable, nor as a seat, because it is not really steady and not very comfortable. I would much rather use a walker with a seat which is adjustable in height and much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted July 12, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thanks for the info. I just need something to "perch" on occasionally, so I think one of the cheapies will be fine. I appreciate your opinions, Fern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted July 13, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 13, 2019 i HAVE ONE BUT DON'T USE IT BECAUSE i FIND IT TOO HEAVY TO CARRY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant Posted July 13, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thanks, Carol. I better be aware of the weight when I buy one. The regular cane I use weighs almost nothing 😊. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
