You didn't ask but if it's any use to you there are also walking canes with an inbuilt seat. This makes the cane a little bulkier than normal despite the seat folding in, and the seat isn't large. So it might not be great for extended sitting. But in some tight situations (like crowds) it's lighter and more portable than a chair
I've never heard of that, looking up photos it looks sick! Though sadly I'm a bit over the weight limit. The seat I got from Amazon is circular and folds up nicely, it even has a strap so I can sling it on my arm.
If I didn't have a lot of internalised ableism, I would go for one of those like walkers that you can use as a seat as well. But yeah, the internalised ableism is strong within me.
