Interesting Note:¶In England, people would call this style of walking cane a 'shooting stick', which was designed for when women went out to watch their husbands duck or bird hunt. They would use these to sit on while watching the men shoot - hence "shooting sticks". Other names used in England and the United States include: Cane Seat', Seat Cane, Walk Stick Seat, and Walk Seat. But, we like the historical nature of the term Shooting Stick best!¶¶

5.0 out of 5 stars Save your legs when there is nowhere to sit., March 4, 2010

This is a well made, durable product at a reasonable price. The first one I used for 25 years and it was still functional when I lost it around 2007. I have post-polio syndrome and this seat allows me to attend conventions, trade shows, and similar events that would otherwise be difficult because ther is no place to sit. Even airlines allow me to carry on this tubular metal "weapon." If you are over 250 pounds, you might overwhelm the dainty seat which is really only a support while your feet are both supposed to stay on the ground. Everywhere I go children are fascinated by this "seat/stick" and it starts countless conversations.
