Fold-Away, Black FLIPSTICK, w/ FREE Fld-Awy Strap & FREE Shipping

It's a very nice seat to take a quick break on, nice and durable, extremely light weight and extremely easy to use and then put back away and I love it that it fits in my fanny pack so I will always have it with me. And I glued a cushion onto the seat using a soft kneeling pad. I cut the kneeling pad to fit the seat and I matched up the kneeling pads handle with the flipsticks handle. Then I put a small finger sized hole through the pad so I can still push the button to put the seat in the cane position. Then I glued the seat to the pad with scotch super 77 spray adhesive and then I waited over night for it to dry and now this flipstick is much more comfortable to sit on and it still fits in my fanny pack. And my fanny pack that I carry it in is the large pouch from the Propper U.C. 2 Pack Assault Kit, which I have attached to my Mystery Ranch Hip Monkey. Awesome product.

I've been using the Flipstick for many years, every now and then losing and replacing one. The product is wonderful, but unfortunately is no longer sold in stores — liability fears. That means I have no way of knowing whether the button is flush against the seat. When it isn't flush, you can't rest the stick upside down on its seat because it's too wobbly. Why rest it upside down? When you are sitting for a while, for example while the docent stops next to a chair for a few minutes. It's more convenient than folding it up. Only one of the several I've owned had a flush button. Other than that small flaw the seat is wonderful for anyone whose back objects to standing for too long.

This cane was perfect for my trip to an amusement park. I have had multiple hip & knee surgeries so standing for long periods of time causes pain in my hip, knees as well as my lower back. This cane allowed me to quickly sit & stand as needed. The buttons to open & close are very convenient & makes the process nearly unnoticeable. I am self conscious of having to use assistant devices as I am only in my late 30's so not being extremely apparent is important to me. The cane as-is was too tall for me (I'm 5'1"), so upon receipt, I was able to pop the bottom footing off & cut the cane to size with a hacksaw. It worked perfect. I cut it so that it was just about the correct height to use as a cane (only the slightest bit taller than my normal cane) & it made it the perfect height when I put the seat down. I recommend cutting it in small increments so that you dont cut it too short the first time around! I almost did!I also love that the cane folds up so that I could put it away when I was on rides or whenever I felt it was getting in the way. My only complaint is that after using it as a cane for an entire day, it was sore on the palm of my hand. I would like to see the top part slightly cushioned. It's definitely not the same comfort as using my regular cane which is specifically made with a comfortable grip...but given the fact that this cane solved 2 problems for me - walking & sitting - I was very very pleased with it. The other "seat canes" I looked at had 3 legs & looked cumbersome & uncomfortable to use as a cane. I was also worried that being a woman, I would have to sit with the middle bar in between my legs. I was also concerned it would put me a lot shorter than everyone else standing...which can make for difficult conversation. This cane means you are still on your feet but putting most of your weight on the cane. It takes the pressure off your legs & back...but not 100%. That was ok with me though. After a ride, I was able to find a proper seat when needed.I was a bit worried that I would feel unsteady on it but I didn't at all. I always made sure not to have it pointing in the direction of others (particularly little kids) as I was worried that they could knock it accidentally & I'd fall to the floor. I tended to have my husband stand behind me when I was sat on it or had it up against a wall.I will definitely be using this cane again...especially at times when I know I'll be waiting in lines.

Cane use is OK, but seat is not stable, you are only able to lean on seat, not really sit on it.

Received mine yesterday and already love it. I'm 68, 5' 9", and only slightly overweight. This is an awesome product for someone like me who is not-too-arthritic, has good balance, and likes to walk/hike, but finds it painful on knees, feet, hips, or lower back to have to simply stand still for extends lengths of time when with a tour group or when visiting a museum or historical spot that gives you headsets (so that you wind up standing around and listening). That said, I give it five stars for me or someone like me. I was very pleased to find the weight and balance of this product to be quite similar to that f a walking stock or a cane. In fact, I wish the had a pointed tip for this, so I could use it as a hiking stick on unpaved trails. I'm not sure would be big enough for a tall man or an obese person, and I don't think it would be safe for someone with limited balance (who would probably be better advised to choose an alternative product with tripod legs.

too high, seat is uncomfortable.I like the folding and storing of the cane.

Works as expected. Light weight but sturdy. At 220 lbs and 6' 2" I feel that it is safe for my weight. The unit delivered was adjustable in length and the clever design easily goes from packed to ready for use in seconds. While I will use it mostly as a portable seat, it could double as a walking stick in a pinch. You need to be aware of your foot placement to safely use this as a seat. Keep your feet at least a foot or more apart so you can control your balance. You become a "tripod" with two legs and the one Fold Away Flipstick. The rubber tip has held up so far and provides a good grip on most surfaces.

We were primarily looking for a lite-weight, compact resting seat rather than a cane. The Flipstick is fine as a cane, but not that comfortable as a resting seat because you have to use your legs to maintain balance on the seat.
