Does anyone have the dimensions of this tip (to see how much it would spread out the load)? My mom needs something more stable.

4 3/4 inches across. - Also 90 year old friend is now using 2 walking sticks - the ones used for cross-country skiing I believe. Her physical therapist recommended them, helps her keep her balance.

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.

Maybe get a pieces of velcro to extend from a hardware store or a craft store. I'm surprised it doesn't go around, I feel like ours was pretty big. Good luck.

It is pretty stable. The base is not huge, so it could tip if struck somewhat heavily but the lamp stem and top are not heavy so it is not topheavy and probably would notInjure her. Several of our elderly relatives have one and find them very helpful. My wife uses one for needlework. Hope this helps.

AP, this unit IS stable. My 97 year old Mother-In-Law uses it to navigate around the house with no problems. Never tipped. Rear wheel base is 24". Hope this helps.

i would not recommend that. The pole and basket are heavy enough where I would be concerned it would tip over, especiallyif you have the basket fully extended. I also put it together myself. I am not very handy and was able to do it all until I got to the last few steps. some larger wrenches definitely made a difference in knocking it out. Follow the directions and go slowly to make sure nothing is put on backwards.

We put ours on top of a bigger piece (3-sectioned bins) and have had zero concerns with tipping. When it's full it's heavy and with the wide base I don't see it. But anythings possible I suppose. The bottom of it has a rim that sticks out so I think it would be difficult to mount on the wall.

It's very stable for me - female 130lbs. I've never felt like it would tip on me. Hope this helps.

HI - Mine has never tipped over. The base is solid and holds it in place. My elderly friend loves this, and can move it around to do her jewelry making again.I highly recommend it.

The design prevents it from tipping. Mine is full and I've never had an issue. Would be difficult to tip it over, actually.

Hi Linda,I can measure it for you when I get home from work tonight. In fact, if you like it, I would be happy to sell it to you at a discounted price, it turned out to be a little too small than what I wanted. I haven't used it yet, just put it together. Let me know what you think,Courtney

No idea. I used it to extend a hitch for a bike rack, and it seems to sway more than I would expect. Not so sure it would work for your purposes.

hmm this is at my Mom's. I didn't bother measuring it. Are you referrng to the same item? I was expecting that if it says X, then that's what it would be. When I go there again, I will measure it for you, but will say that some of the negative comments I read was not what I found. I find it safe and sturdy for her and that was most important to me. I wish it was a bit lower.

Hi Laura, I just put it on the lowest tension setting, and I feel like the wheel is sliding partly from momentum (so it's easy)...however, the wheel inside is kind of heavy so starting it going might take a little strength...not a lot...but I don't know how weak your mother is. Also, keep in mind that the machine itself is very heavy, and I doubt you mom would be able to move it around the house. The $40 machine I got from Dick's Sporting goods has little tension, but is also unpleasant to pedal because it gets 'stuck' at the top and bottom of the cycle. I would recommend asking someone who wrote a review about giving it to an elderly parent...I think that would give you a better view of the Magnetrainer's usefulness in the situation than my conjecture. Best, Dmitry

The diameter at the base is about 1.25 inches. Because the sections are held in place only by friction, I would not recommend using the pole in this way. The thinnest ~8ft would not be able to hold any load up in the air.

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

I gave it to my mom so I don't have it anymore. It's not 4.5inxh diameter though... Maybe a 3inch

Yes it does tip. I works like an actual dump truck but your child can take it apart.
