Drive Medical RTL10365-ADJ Adjustable Lightweight Folding Cane with Seat, Black

Very handy. This was a helpful and convenient product. I purchased for my mom to use while visiting Disney which is what is allowed. She stated it was lightweight so easy to carry around and the chair was comfortable for her. I can attest as I tried it myseld. I definitely recommend. It came already assembled and you just have to make sure the legs are even and clicked in place. I read many reviews before purchasing and we are very satisfied. One review mentioned you cannot return either because it is a medical device. I don't plan to return but for me it does say free returns. This made our trip to Disney a better experience.

NOTE THAT THIS IS A MEDICAL DEVICE SO AMAZON CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. So don't order one just to try it out; you've got to be committed to this thing. Perfect for theme parks. It is so nice to sit in lines instead of stand. Dland won't let you bring in a folding chair, but they will let you bring a cane chair as long as you assure the NPCs in security that you'll use it as a cane and not a chair. Security will make you stand if they catch you sitting on one out in the open (e.g., parades) but none of the other employees will because they have souls. No matter how many times they catch you sitting on one they cannot make you throw it away, all they can ask you to do is stop sitting. Then you can resume once the robots turn around. In 8 separate occasions of using this at Disneyland I only had one security a-hole ask me to not sit on it, and I was out in the open so it was easy for him to spot me. I don't think this thing will ever break. It doesn't fold up as small as other folding chairs out there, but it makes up for it in sturdiness. The fabric ones tend to rip if you get a crappy brand. The cane tends to come apart as you're walking so it's terribly inconvenient using as a cane. It's the worst cane I've ever used. If you're buying this for the cane, my recommendation would be to try your luck at Walmart or a store that sells wheelchairs/canes where you can try one out, then return them easily if they don't work out. I would also like to note that I got 1 day shipping for this. I had a folding tripod camping chair that folds up SUPER small, and I got caught with it at Disneyland and they literally made me take it back to the Disneyland hotel, so I was able to get this chair at about noon the next day, I just shipped it directly to the hotel front desk and the Amazon app told me when it was delivered. This was a life-saver because for the life of me, I could not find a brick-and-mortar store that sold these in Anaheim.

The fear of a long line at the polls prompted me to order this. It was an off-year election, no lines, so it wasn't needed, but it's a good thing to have for someone who can't stand for any length of time. My usual cane--actually I prefer "walking stick"--is a handsome hand-carved beauty, but not much help when it comes to long standing. This folding cane is as advertised: adjustable and lightweight, and it works well as an aid for walking, and unfolds easily when it's time to sit for a few moments. I can recommend without reservation.

Handy for walking and sitting when needed

I bought this for a 95-year-old man, for use on hard surfaces such as roads, sidewalks and store floors. He tried it out first in the yard. The feet promptly went into the dirt and he nearly fell. This predisposed him to dislike it, so we ended up in an extended discussion of its use. He tried it in the house and had the same problem others had. He didn't know he had to straddle it, and the instructions were not clear. Once he got onto it correctly, he discovered he was too weak and shakey to get up from it easily. The cane will not go to waste. The purpose is to get him walking and strengthen his legs, but now we know we have to start with the Costco folding seated walker to build up his strength. We have others who can use it also, if they choose, but they are a bit put off by his struggles. Conclusion: This cane requires a certain amount of physical conditioning, and/or assistance from others. Folded, it does its purpose. It is light weight. Open, it provides a seat for those who wear slacks, but I doubt anyone in a skirt would use it. While somewhat awkward, it is sufficiently well balanced to hold someone. The main limitation is the user's physical ability and awareness of potential problems. It would help if the description included this information. As a spectator or shopping stool, it would be very useful.

I had a major heart attack right after Christmas, but I wanted to get back to an active lifestyle as quickly as possible. This chair cane was just what I needed. I found that in my early recovery period, I got tired very quickly. This chair cane was/is light enough and easy enough to walk with that it was just when I needed when there were no benches or chairs around. This gave me the freedom to explore that I would not have had otherwise. When unfolded, the chair is quite comfortable for short periods. I wouldn’t want to sit on it for several hours, but for 30 minutes or so it was very fine. My wife even made use of it and she enjoyed it. I’m writing in the past tense because I have recovered enough that I don’t need this any more. But it is useful enough and comfortable enough that I keep it in my car, ready for whenever I need or want it. One very small downside. It does take some practice walking with this as a cane because all three legs are very tighly folded together. You have to learn how to plant the back leg, walk forward, and let the cane roll onto the front leg. No problem at all once you get used to it. Just be sure the seat is firmly snapped into place. This is a great tool and I don’t think I would have been as far along as I am in my recovery without it.

I got this because I have a problem with standing for even a short amount of time. I really looked at a lot of different adjustable height cane seats before deciding to get this one. The only problem I had was figuring how to adjust it, which should have been a no brainer. I finally just pulled the legs down till the adjustment pen popped out, then lined it up with the hole i needed. It is very stable to set on and use. The seat doesn’t brush against my leg when I use it as a cane. It is very easy to raise and lower the seat. It is also lightweight. I could not be happier. I am 83 years old, a woman, 5’9” tall and weigh 125#. The seat is comfortable and just the right size. Update. I used my cane today when I went to pre vote. There was a long line in front of me. I used it a few times in line, when I got inside to vote I was able to set down to register and when I went in to vote, I stood up at first, but had to set down to finish it. It really made a difference.

It should come with instructions but I read enough reviews to get the gist. 1. People who said they fell didn’t understand you have to straddle it with the pole in front of you so it doesn’t tip. You CANNOT lean back on it. There’s a bright sticker right on it that shows that. 2. The push buttons are lost/buried inside the expandable tube legs when it arrives and hard to find so you have to fiddle with them and pull them out until you can see the push buttons and snap them into a hole. 2. Even though the Video shows the legs all set to the same height so you roll from one leg to another when using it as a cane; you could also set the middle one longer to keep the other two up off the floor so the support is on one leg only; and when you expand it, that longer (back) leg just gives more stability to the tripod. 3. Make sure the snap is engaged when you close it so it doesn’t open up while you’re walking. It’s a pretty good little chair.
