I am 46 and have had progressively worsening hip pain for decades now. For the last eight or so years I have been disabled by it. I need double hip replacements but need to lose some weight before surgery, so, in the meanwhile, I am in constant debilitating pain and cannot stand long at all. Obviously, this dramatically negatively affects what I can do. I have resorted to taking a stroller out places with me for support and hanging a folding chair off of the back to open and sit on whenever I have to (which is nearly constantly). But, this is large, clunky, and not comfortable. I came across the TaDa Chair looking for portable stools and I ordered it and a much less expensive portable collapsing stool to compare for comfort or usability. The TaDa won. Today I went with my family on a garden tour. This thing allowed me to go! I could walk a few steps with the walking stick for very sturdy support, yet it is lightweight. Then I could stop, open it, and sit a few minutes while people explored the area, then move along and repeat. It allowed me to be there! It is very comfortable, which is a lot for me to say as everything hurts my hips. I was worried it would not be wide enough, again I am overweight and pressure on my sit bones hurts due to the pressure it places on my hip joints to just sit. It is super comfortable. While I am still in constant pain, this is giving me back to ability to go some places I wouldn't think of being able to handle before. If you think this might help you at all I encourage you to try it. My teenage son kept trying to sneak a sit on it and even he, who is in great physical shape, found it very nice when his feet were hurting after a long tour (before the garden walk had gone on an hour and a half walking tour of a historical mansion so when he met up with me in the garden his feet were tired). So it is helpful for all ages. This one is also great as it is height adjustable so I could get the cane height just right. And the seat is at a great chair sitting angle so it does not feel like you are squatting. It is easy to get on and off of. And it is so easy to open with one hand and re-close, or if you are going just a few feet, you can leave the seat open and use it as a cane still very efficiently.

I occasionally need a place to sit while doing my volunteer work at our zoo or while on outings or at events. One of my volunteer associates has used many varieties of these folding chairs over the years. She said the cheap ones break too quickly and too easily, but she loves this one (Series 2 PRO version). So far, I am loving this walking stick chair as well. It is as sturdy as you can expect from a three-legged stool. I like the phone holder on the handle. The seat is comfortable, but I don't think you'd want to sit on it for more than an hour. Don't plan on using it as a replacement for your hiking stick. It is too short and bulky for that. But I used it as a support while standing during stops on a historical tour. So even when I wasn't using it as a chair, it gave me support to lean on. I like that the rubber caps on the base can be replaced. The handle has to go to the front, so if that would be a problem for you, you might consider another option (walker with fold-out seat). The only con is that it is expensive, but then it is well crafted and well made. It comes with a cloth carrying case, but I wish it had a wrist strap on the handle so I can hang it on my arm when needing my hands for other things when it is out of the case. I am going to try to add this myself.

Over the summer we had a trip to Europe planned, and I know the river cruise ship does not allow scooters, and I really don't need one all the time. But when planning on walking a lot on tours, I started looking for a cane chair. I really didn't like the look of the ones that when folded, still have three legs sticking out. I researched and found this one on Amazon, and (being the gadget peron I am) fell in love with this concept. I was a bit afraid that it would be heavy to lug around in the "cane" formation, but I loved that it still only have one leg. So I ordered one, and immediatly knew I had made the right decision... It's simple to open and close, even when moving, and is much more comfortable that some of the others I had looked at. Several other folks on the cruise remarked that it was such a good idea, and one lady, after trying mine, immediately ordered one for herself. Pros: Very sturdy, and easy to open and close even on the move. Not a whole lot heavier than a normal cane. Con: More expensive. A bit heavier than regular cane, but not bad. There are a couple of designs, but this one is adjustable for height of user, the others are not. It has a phone holder and a hook on the handle so would be wonderful for getting off your feet for a little break.

Expected Delivery Date: November 6 Actual Arrival: November 2 The item arrived earlier than expected, which is impressive but typical with Amazon Prime. Product / Item Details: • Material: Both versions have similar structural composition. • Weight: Gold2 is noticeably lighter than the previous model. • Mechanism: The previous model operated like an umbrella, requiring a press to open and collapse, with some manual folding. Gold2, however, functions more seamlessly, similar to a manual transmission without needing a clutch. • Capacity: The previous model supported up to 110kg, while Gold2 can handle up to 136kg. Verdict: Gold2 is lighter, supports a higher load capacity, and opens and closes in just 2 seconds. It also includes an integrated mobile phone holder and height adjustment.

Very nice & useful👍
