Use of "Cane-Chairs" on excursions

[CatherineGirgen]

I am considering the purchase of a "cane-chair" for use on excursions and at museums.  Has any other traveler used one of these to help them from becoming too tired with sore feet and back aches? If so, which ones are preferred?  Thanks for any input you can share.

Here is a thread from last month on the general disabled forum that might be of interest.

I wouldn’t buy one with a point at the bottom as you wouldn’t be able to use it in most places with wooden floors, which will include many palaces etc throughout Europe.

 

Where are you going? Many museums lend them free of charge. Just look on the relevant website.
