Description
This cane seat carries like a cane and opens into a seat. The tripod frame spreads into three legs, the round seat is open and you have somewhere to sit at 21 in from the floor. Fold it shut and you walk with it by the handle.
Where a cane seat earns its place
A queue, a long aisle, a hallway with no chairs: a cane seat is for the moment you need to sit for a minute and there is nothing to sit on. It is also easier to keep in the car than a folding chair, because shut it is 33 in tall and 2.5 lb.
The height it works at
Drive lists the cane height as 34 in to 38 in and the seat at 21 in from the floor. Those two figures matter together: the handle height you walk with is not the same as the height you sit at, and both are fixed by how the frame opens.
What it is not
This is a seat cane, not a walking frame. If you lean hard on your cane for balance with every step, or you need a seat with a back and arms, look at the walking aids range with us first, and read the canes and cane accessories pages for the shapes that carry weight through the hand.
Setting it up
Set the handle height with the cane standing on the floor beside you, grip level with the crease at your wrist. Do that before you use the seat, so you are not changing it in a queue. Our free home assessment sets the height with you and can look at where you plan to use it.

Frequently asked questions
How much weight does the seat take?
250 lb, the maker's figure for this cane seat. The frame is extruded aluminium tubing on a tripod of three legs.
How high is the seat off the floor?
21 in, the maker's seat to floor height. The seat itself is 9 in across. Try one before you buy if 21 in sounds high or low for you.
Can I still walk with it when it is shut?
Yes, that is what the closed frame is for: Drive lists the cane height as 34 in to 38 in and describes it as a sturdy support cane when closed.
How heavy is it to carry?
2.5 lb, and it is 33 in tall when shut. Tell us if you would rather have a folding cane with a smaller frame and no seat.
What happens when a leg tip wears?
The legs carry vinyl contoured tips, and tips wear with use. The maker lists no separate tip for this model, so tell us what has worn and we will ask the supplier.
