 Nobody
likes to wait in a long line, but if you have a bad back or have
trouble supporting yourself, it can be downright miserable and even
painful. Seat canes are the perfect solution to this inevitable
dilemma. They provide a comfortable seat to rest on when they are
open and they transform into sturdy support canes when closed. These
handy accessories are great to have because you never know when
you will need to sit down and there may not be seats available when
the time comes. They come in very handy for sporting events as well.
There are several different types of seat canes available. Seat
sticks are among the most popular because they are not bulky and
they are very lightweight. They do, however, require a good sense
of balance. In order to use a stick, you must place the seat behind
you with the base approximately 18 inches away. Then lean the seat
towards you and bend your body back to meet it, spreading your feet
in order to make a triangle with the stick.
The hammock seat stick is probably the most popular of all because
the seat is very comfortable. The hammock seat is made of leather.
It has a small silver plate on the side that unscrews and attaches
to the bottom of the cane for balance and security. This cane works
well both indoors and out. While indoors, you can use the rubber
tip to provide a good grip with the floor. While outdoors, you can
remove the rubber tip and embed the stick into soft ground such
as grass.
If you require more stability than what a stick can provide, you
might be interested in a folding seat. These canes are very convenient
and easily switch between a walking cane and a seat to rest on.
They are made of high quality aluminum making them very lightweight
as well. They are also durable, holding up to 250 pounds. These
seat canes open up with three legs and a round fiberglass/nylon
composite seat that looks much like a stool. You can sit on these
seats comfortably for long periods of time. They are also easy to
carry around, weighing less than 2 pounds.
A quad seat is a bit bulkier to carry around but the seat that
it provides is the most steady and stable of all. These seat canes
are made of lightweight aircraft aluminum and have a comfortable
canvas seat. They easily convert into a relaxing seat, opening out
to four feet with rubber tips.
Seat canes are great to have because you never know when you will
need them. If you carry one around, you will find plenty of opportunities
to use it. Even if you find that you don’t need to use the
seat on some days, they still provide a lot of support to you as
you are walking and are, for the most part, lightweight. The next
time you are in a long line, open up your seat cane to take a rest
… you will be the envy of the line!
