I bought the 3-legged one before receiving treatment for POTS. It's definitely a life-saver in long lines. Most comments I get are compliments about being prepared by having a seat for lines. Then I get weird looks and people are quick to walk away when I explain I need to sit or risk passing out from standing.

It's all part of educating the public Everyone you speak to you spread the news a bit more - even if they don't understand.

I like this "chair"; however, I can only use it if I don't have to carry it far. It is awkward and too heavy for me as a "cane". My shoulder aches quickly from carrying it, but then pain spreads in short order for me. If I were with someone else who could strap it onto a knapsack, that would be ideal. However, I think it could help when anticipating waiting in a long line, if I didn't have to lug it too far.
