STEP2GOLDTa-Da Chair, Portable Trekking Hiking Pole, Folding Walking Stick with Seat, Walking Cane with Chair, Foldable Chair, Lightweight Aluminum, Easy Carry and Storage, Anti-Slip

This was a gift to my grandpa. He was so excited about this cane and the fact that it converted into a seat!

This came is a game changer when I’m waiting in line at the store I can sit down and everyone who sees it loves it

The good—I love having the option of sitting when I am bird watching or waiting in a long line. It’s easy to open into a seat, and is easy to close when I remember to do it the right way. It’s not designed to be used on slanted ground, so isn’t useful in certain circumstances. I am small and the seat is adequate, but the seat could be too small for larger people. What I don’t like about the cane/seat is the handle and the low height. My hand does not fit comfortably on the grip, and it is designed for your forearm to be level with the ground. That might work for some people but my usual walking stick has a higher grip, and I find that provides me better assistance. I just use this for special occasions and would not use it as a regular cane or walking stick replacement.

Very convenient especially when you get tired walking or standing!

My dad, with health condition, get tired easily when doing a bit of walking, but he likes going to festivals and events with the family. One thing of concern is always about finding a place for him to sit down and rest, but that is not always available at some events and sitting down at the curb isn't ideal for him, especially he has a hard time getting up. After seeing several people carrying different versions of a walker with fold down seat, I started googling around for a decent one for my dad. I came across the Ta-Da Chair. I read through many reviews before deciding on whether it is the one for my dad. Needless to say, my decision was right. This Ta-Da Chair is light-weight enough for my dad to use as his walker in events, and the seat is easy to fold down for him to take a sit for a quick rest.The built is pretty solid. I sat on the seat a couple times at events, and it felt solid that I can trust to put my weight on it. Although I find the seat easy to fold back up, it wasn't so easy for my dad, so he won't be able to use it on his own, which wouldn't be a big deal, since we are always with him at events. However, it might be something to consider when buying for someone to use on their own. I am sure it is not hard for some elderly to figure out, but my dad's hands aren't like they used to be. Definitely a good buy. Though a bit pricy, but willing to pay for quality.

I purchased this to help with my walking long distances on vacation with the seat option as my wife likes to stop and shop where there is no where to sit. It opens and closes easily.

I wasn’t sure about spending this much, but after reading the reviews, this was what I needed. It’s sturdy, lightweight, super easy to go from cane to seat & back again. After our 5 days of Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure during our Thanksgiving week trip to Orlando, it was worth every penny…lines weren’t so bad when I could sit. At 75 I still love roller coasters & flight simulators…(although I admit to needing pre dose of Dramamine each day.) Universal does it all so spectacularly. The ride staff are wonderful…would take my cane when I got on the ride & give it back on exit. I did tape an AirTag under the seat since I didn’t want to take a chance of losing it (at $170 with tax). The cane could have used a nice flat spot to tape the AirTag, but it stayed just fine.

I purchased the STEP2GOLD Ta-Da Chair, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. Although it was lighter and slimmer than the Step2Gold Pro, its lack of sturdiness was a major concern.When my counselor, who weighs under 120 pounds, sat on it, the seat bent. This incident made me realize that the product wasn't reliable for regular use.I ended up returning the Ta-Da Chair and keeping the Step2Gold Pro, which has proven to be more durable and sturdy. If you're looking for a reliable walking stick with a seat, I would recommend exploring other options.
