This cane is for my mother who is 92 and frail. Is this cane heavy? Is the base too bulky to lift with each step? Thanks!

The DMI is not heavy & was great when I only needed light support, but it would go over sideways if I put weight on it. I went 2 a walker then 2 avoid a fall.

There is a cane called " Hurrycane" which sounds perfect 4 your needs. I looked it up on Google after asking a nurse what would be safest.

The one we received was very heavy and the base was much larger than it looked in the picture. I even wondered if they substituted another model when I received it . It was too cumbersome and heavy for my 80 yeast old mom and we couldn't mail it back even as box was destroyed in shipping . So donated it to convalescent hospital instead an bought ond local for her . Hope the information helps In your decision

I only used it for a couple days after hip surgery but it did not seem heavy or too bulky for me.

The cane itself weighs less than 2.0 pounds. The distance between the four feet measures 8.5 inches X 6.5 inches. I hope this helps answer your question.Scott, Dream Products

The cane is not heavy but the legs are long & higher off the ground so it tips easy. It was OK wen I was steady but as I became weaker it would tip over wen I leaned on. Many canes have shorter more spread out legs which would be safer at her age. My profession was caring 4 elderly b4 my handicap.

It is not too heavy; as a 66 years old, I can easily lift it up, hope this helps.

I am so sorry, I gave this as a gift so I cannot weigh it for you, but I can tell you that it is not heavy at all. It would be no problem for a young, middle-aged, or even an elderly person to be able to lift it. My mom is 90 years old and does not have any problem with lifting. Hope this helps!!...

I have not weighed it but my 100 year old father has been using it without difficulty. Unfortunately I cannot weigh it for you as he is in assisted living, not here with me. It is a good device though, and easy to manage even for this frail, elderly man..

It will probably be too heavy for her. I' m 78 and it too stiff to drive or push around for me. Mine has just sit under the deck. I have not used it. I had a wagon seat that I use to garden. It is hard for me to get up off it but I can use it to garden other wise. Louise

I can't give you an exact answer but, it is pretty light. I'm eighty and I could lift and move it easily. I have to sy though -- I didn't like it's performance and ended up donating it. Nothing really wrong with it -- just not what I wanted.

The canister feels really light. I am a 48 yo woman and I do not have any troubles lifting the canister up and down the stairs.

Certainly less than 5 lbs. I'd say even less than 2 lbs as it is aluminum with a plastic seat. It's almost no heavier than a regular cane.

It's too heavy for me to move/lift myself (60 yr old female), but the ladder is worth getting anyway. It has wheels and can be rolled most places. I can extend the ladder by myself, but it goes more quickly with someone helping.

It is an adjustable standard sized cane. It seems pretty sturdy to me; I use it for balance and for some support as I have weakness on the right lower extremity. I am certainly not a small woman, but I am not sure if it will support someone over 250lbs, who needs to lean on it, as it seems a bit light.

I am sorry, I no longer use this cane. It was heavy for me. I received as a gift, a Hurrycane and that is now what I use and do like it very much

Yes, and I'm certain it says that in the little 'blurb' given by Amazon. This has been a great cane for the price. While I only needed it for a short while, I passed it on to a friend who has a more longterm issue. She is happy. Also, the weight bearing on this cane is 300 lbs. Not all canes can claim that fact.

Hmmm,. I believe you are asking me if the Ez2care supports a person of "weight". Trust me, if you are, it will handle weight up to 300 lbs easily. I am not that heavy but my friend is and has one. I am over 200 and during my early time with it had to really lean on it because of my fragile health. I am improved and use a cane indoors now, but the walker outside and going to doctors etc where I might have to do alot of shopping. I did go to my CVS and get the "tennis ball" set to fit on the back legs and make it glide better, especially indoors. I think they were $9.95 and are still like new. Good luck and if I misunderstood the question, send it to me again. Hmmm,. I believe you are asking me if the Ez2care supports a person of "weight".

Yes. My dad is 95 years old and weighs about 200 lbs. He walks with it and sets in it when he gets tired. It's very sturdy.

I love my cane. It does not squeak, jingle or make noises. It is sturdy and lightweight. I've thought about getting another with a different pattern.

I used mine at the beach for stability and it worked well. The measurement is approximately 4"x4" with 5 contact areas - 1 at each corner and in the middle. Counting the part that goes on the cane it is approximately 3" high or approx. 2 1/4" high (that just the part from the bottom of the cane. It is heavier but not so heavy to be cumbersome. It worked really well on sand, sidewalks and uneven surfaces. It usually will stand on it's own with the wide base, but it doesn't take much to knock it over. I forget the weight capacity but it's heavy duty. If your Mom can use a regular cane this should work too. Hope this helps. I do recommend the cane tip.

I would say it would support at least 200 lbs. or maybe even more. Let me tell you, you will get more comments and compliments on this cane. It is amazing how many people notice it! The handle is very comfortable. Hope this helps.
