 One
of the most ingenious developments in cane history is the walking
cane with seat. A tripod cane that converts to a resting seat with
one simple motion, the walking cane with seat is an amazing convenience
for those who are still mobile but have limited endurance.
No one knows exactly when the ideas was born, but as early as 1885
there were Austrian “folding walking stick”s made out
of wood. Today, modern models are made to be lightweight but hold
plenty of weight themselves. The typical weight limit for a walking
cane with seat today is 250 pounds, while the contraption itself
is usually a mere 1 to 4 pounds. Lightweight aluminum certainly
has its perks!
Easy to carry around and dual purpose. These characteristics are
hard to beat, and the walking cane with seat is beloved by many
users. Also called a “sport seat” by many advertisers,
the walking cane with seat is great to bring along to games, the
golf course, hikes, hunting or fishing trips, concerts and shows,
and other events in which you will want to give your feet a quick
rest.
Birdwatchers as well as travelers enjoy the use of a walking cane
with seat, because it is easy to transport and does not take up
a lot of space.
There are a few disadvantages to this innovation, however. Especially
if you are using a walking cane with seat primarily as a walking
aid, with the seat feature as a backup, you may find it cumbersome.
There are three legs as well as a surface a few square inches that
are attached for the ride. You can fold the seat up, of course.
And if you turn the cane sideways, you can still have a full stride
without your legs bumping into the seat.
A walking cane with seat makes a very thoughtful gift for someone
who either has a weak leg or is injured. And it is a great addition
to the collection of anyone whom consistently requires the use of
a cane.
“It’s for when you come to watch my games, Grandpa!”
Remember, once a fan, always a fan!
