Are the hoops flexible for sitting?

The hoops are flexible, but a good hoop skirt shouldn't bend by an exorbitant amount. The trick to sitting down in a hoop skirt is to raise it up in the back just a little bit before you sit. Here's a link to a video of a woman named Jennifer Rosbrugh. She seems to have a pretty extensive knowledge of historical clothing, like hoop skirts, and some tips for how to maneuver the obstacles you may encounter. http://historicalsewing.com/how-to-sit-in-hoopskirt

I don't think so. They are great for short periods of time. But, the seat is not big and several hours for an overweight person would be a bit much.

pretty flexible yes. They are relatively elastic however a 1" dia. might be pushing it. That will take some work. I think you may be able to do it but I am not for certain.

Yes. They're resting on 4 pegs that can be placed at whatever spacing works best for you.The holes are about an inch apart for convenience.

Yes, but how comfortable depends on their size. either, if they dont fit inside you can bungie them to the cart (just ensure they dont interfere with the wheels).

They're very flexible. I think they might work well for you because I just get a gentle stretch - I wish they were bigger or firmer so I'd get a better stretch but they're fine.

They are flexible. You shouldn't have any problems.. I was very happy with this purchase

Yes. There is a round plastic loop on the top but I just did what you are asking and they sit up fine. They are mesh so you couldn't carry anything of weight in them. Hope this helps

Nope. The body is made of molded, fixed plastic. Still, my boys (ages 11-15 and my husband) have a blast with the hoop!

I don't think they'd be uncomfortable, the grips are very soft and not really thick so they wont be uncomfortable when they are sat on.

Yes they are very well padded. Just don't make my mistake and sit on it yourself �.

I don't think so. I have seen that others say that they do, but I wouldn't risk it. There is no real structure--it is a big, sturdy basket. Very sturdy--we love it, but not for sitting.

Yes, they are - and it's quite comfortable for my elderly mother who is about 110 lbs soaking wet. I was also able to sit in it comfortably and I am quite a bit larger than my mother.

Yes they can! There's a lot of pieces but it's easy to assemble. It's very sturdy, I did get it for my little girls for the long haul but even I can sleep on the top and I'm 6'-3" 235lbs.. I hope this helps you.

No, they are pretty rigid. Several in the bottom were cracked so I would not consider them pliable.

They are very flexible but we used them in a straight configuration and are very happy with them.

They're not necessarily cushy, but they are fairly comfortable, and they aren't cold. I sit on mine for breakfast and some reading every morning. It's a good stool.
