Rucksacks with chairs attached

[wildwoman]

Hi all, has anyone got one of these, if so, is it useful

[Hidden]

Hi ww i have got a cool bag that has straps, so that it is carried like a rucksack.That has got a seat attached and I found it very useful untill the fatigue got worse. sue

Thanx sue, I think I,ll look for one.xx

Must admit that I haven't. I do have a tri-walker, but this does not have a seat on it either. I have seen people with the four wheeled walker with seats and they look really useful.

Take care

I have a 4-wheeled walker with seat. It has a handy storage bag underneath.

Maybe I should upgrade to one of these? There are times when I am out that I could do with having a sit down.

take care

Hi Ken, yes, I,m thinking about it, as long as the backpack isn,t too heavy. I,ve read quite a few reviews, the cheaper ones seem to be poor quality, and I don,t know if I,m ready to spend a lot more money for a really good one. I,m getting really good at checking for possible sitting down places when I,m out, in the that leg-stopping fatigue comes on suddenly! All the best xx

[TheAuthor in reply to wildwoman]

yes this is really getting me thinking? I am going to have a look online and see what they are like? Thanks and take care

One thing I used when we went to the narrow boat rally was a light weight camping stool, Three legs with a triangle of canvas to sit on.folds up easily. The draw back is that you need to be stable on your feet and able to rise without help... sue

[wildwoman in reply to Hidden]

Thanx sue, but I can't get up by myself, so I,ll keep looking. Hope you,re not too bad today xx

Wildwoman it might be worth asking your GP for a physio referral as they can then assess what you need and should be able to supply it for you. I have asked my physio for a rollator, which is the 4 wheel frame walker with a seat as I am unable to walk any distance without needing regular rests. She says once she has completed my assessment she will put a referral forward for me to get one. I can't wait as it will give me so much independence.
