STEP2GOLD Ta-Da Chair Series 2 PRO, Portable Trekking Hiking Pole, Folding Walking Stick with Seat, Walking Cane with Chair, Foldable Chair, Lightweight Aluminum, Easy Carry and Storage, Anti-Slip

Okay, it IS SUPER EXPENSIVE. But it IS REALLY GOOD. So if you can stomach the price tag, it does live up to the hype. I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user and we went on vacation to a historic place and I knew there would be a few places I wouldn't be able to use my wheelchair and needed a stool to sit on. This absolutely did the job. I always felt very stable sitting on it and it was as reasonably comfortable as one could expect. My son carried it for me when I was in the chair and it's super lightweight. So far only the one trip I needed it for, but it was worth it just for the one trip.I'm 6'5" and 185lbs. The weight was not a problem. That said, at it's max setting it's too short to use as a cane. For my situation, that wasn't a big deal. But just be forewarned to take their "user height" recommendation seriously.I did buy another folding cane/chair thing for this trip so I had options if this didn't work well. It was tall enough as a cane, but I still used this one due to superior stability and the fact that it opened and closed so quick and easy.

My wife discovered this versatile cane/chair two weeks before we were scheduled to spend nine days in Europe. I ordered one and was very impressed with the quality and clever engineering. Despite being very light and compact, as a chair it feels very sturdy and solid and actually surprisingly comfortable. I have significant circulatory issues with my legs so long walks are challenging and standing in one place (like in a line to see a famous landmark) is much worse and painful. I took this everywhere we went from the Colosseum in Rome to the Statue of David in Florence and finally to the Palace at Versailles. We logged almost 10,000 steps per day for eight straight days and I couldn't have done it without my TaDa!

This device appears to be a generally great solution to a problem I have of only being able to ambulate/stand for a moderate distance/time before needing a rest. Walking around long distances and especially museums has been challenging. This device appears to be able to significantly improve my functionality. The instructions seemed daunting but in fact it was particularly easy to deploy and stow away. I obviously can't comment on the life expectancy of the product but in testing since I received it, there have been no problems. There are things that I feel should have been done differently. One-better instructions both written and video though as I noted the device works easily once you decipher them. I might suggest having the English instructions written by a native English speaker with experience in writing manuals. The syntax suggests they were translated from Chinese into English and not written in English de novo. Two- replacement of the rubber end pieces are discussed but there is no information on how to order these parts. This is basically a cane, the tips will wear out and need to be replaced , but it is definitely not a standard size. Three-I'd also suggest increasing the width of the seat about two inches if possible. It would be much more comfortable if it were a little wider. Finally , while I bought the model with the adjustable cane height but even on the longest setting it is short for me by about 1.5" when compared to all my canes. I'm only 5'10". I'll try to check back in in 12 months with a one-year product review.

This item was such a surprise! I had no idea what to expect, but the description and pictures provided were right on. It’s easy to use. Weighs 2pds. Has a great carrying case. For someone who doesn’t need a walker or wheelchair and just a place to sit - this is perfect.

Very helpful. It's great for when you need a seat, but not a rollator. Very handy. Very stable. Very portable.

The height adjustment button got stuck in the "in" position and therefore the height could not be adjusted. It seems like a potentially good product if it were to work.

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.

Great product
