Does the 3-legged design interfere with comfortable cane use?

No the three legs do not interfere with using it as a cane. I took mine to the BMW championship last Summer and used it throughout the day it was wonderful to have a chair when I needed to sit down for a moment or walk up the hilly paths. I was actually sitting in the chair when I got hit on the 14th hole by Tiger Woods's ball he signed his glove for me so I call it my lucky chair.

Make sure the length is right and the cane function works fine. Check your weight, I weigh 210lbs and I am near the limit that this device can handle. Good luck! Rick

It is different and you must get use to it, but it is very easy to use and it is a life saver at times.

Yes, but only very slightly. I found this cane chair to be exactly what I needed. It's very, very light but sturdy enough for an average person.

sorry for the delay........but, I bought this for my father. he uses it once in awhile for events. As far as I know it is just inconvenient to carry something else. When he uses it for cane purposes, he has it folded up. But, it does require some thought to not let it 'bang' on surrounding items like in a store. Mostly he has used it in outdoor event situations where there is a lot of walking and then he can rest without having to walk to find a bench or a chair.

It does not interfere much, but is a bit bulkier than just a cane.Think of it as an easily portable chair, that is a backup cane.

Hi Eugene,The 3 legged design is a little cumbersome for can usage, but you can definitely use it as a cane still. The point leg is longer than the other 2 legs. It's great for my father right now as he is not at a point where he doesn't need a walker, but sometimes requires a rest and sit down where there are no chairs around. Sorry about the delayed reply. I hope this helps!Jia

yes, they do. although i have only used a cane following knee surgery and when my hip pain flared up, i have been very pleased with these canes ( i own 2). they are well-priced and excellent quality in addition to having a wonderful color selection. you won't be disappointed.

Yes. Also the rubber grip is more user friendly than the hard wooden grip on my other cane.

I'm sorry I can't answer the question. My husband was unable to use the cane. He has right side paralysis and opening the cane was too difficult with one hand.

The cane is very adjustible - not only is your own height a factor, but your preference in how far you want to lean down. My husband prefers to set it so he can stand fairly erect.

If you adjust a cane very high to keep you upright, it will lessen the strain on your back. I have a bad back and this helps a lot.

It's not adjustable, but I'm 5'3" and it was too tall for me. The cane is a bit bulky but not heavy. It must be used on flat surfaces. I almost fell over backwards because the seat is not steady front to back on carpet, so I returned it.

Yes, I find the multi-pronged tip helps keep cane, and me, stable on grass and uneven ground. I've Han no problems walking over larger stones, but I haven't walked on finer-stoned gravel.

hi, I have noticed that over time the foot does get some play in it , but it hasn't changed how the cane works for me. I saw a comment where one guy super glued his but I really don't think its a good idea. If it does bother u, id probable just buy another cane as the price is reasonable and the new model has a built in flashlight. ive had mine for over a year and it still works fine, but does have some play in it, but again it doesn't bother me and I really like the way it flexes to fit the terrain

The cane is not adjustable in height, although I don't see it being a problem for anyone in that range.

I haven't measured the settings but I'm 6' 2" tall and the settings worked for me. It should work for shorter settings as well. I should tell you that the handle was a problem with extended use. It is a "T" shaped handle and I found it chaffed on my fingers with extended use. I now prefer a "U" shaped handle in which there is no stem that goes between your fingers. Aside from that the cane was excellent.

It is my understanding that the cane should be about hip-height where pressure can be comfortably applied with the arm in a comfortable position. The cane should be used on the side opposite the affected side.

I really don't know as I ordered the cane for a relative. Sorry I can't help you

I consider this as more of a "dress" cane. It looks great, but isn't the most comfortable to hold, and with a metal shaft it's height can't be adjusted. It was a good addition to my cane "collection", I have 16, but use a more comfortable one on a daily basis.

I have not had any trouble with the rubber tip slipping on any surface. However, since you are balancing on the one end of the cane plus your own two feet, you need to be very deliberate in establishing your balance each time you sit down.

I had no problems. As you know, you sit with the handle in front of you between your legs. Since the height is adjustable, it was not too low for me to just set my legs to either side and straighten them to stand up. I carried the lightweight chair from four a.m. till after midnight and it was great. worked well as a cane, too. Great product.

I only use this outdoors during my walk so it's not a problem in the grass or on a sidewalk. However the rubber tip on the cane could slip on any smooth surface such as tile and the user should be careful of this. Generally speaking, the nearer the cane is kept at 90 degrees to the surface it is standing on the more stable the seat will be. This could be a problem for users shorter than the 5'3" minimum height recommended.
