It does not lock. As far as the exact weight it can't give exact but I am disabled and can't pick up anything heavy, I have no problem. Hope this helps.

No, it does not have a locking device. We had to return ours after our first use due to the latches coming apart.

Yes, it locks. That way the person can sit down on it without it rolling away.

It does not lock into position and is only balanced by the weights. I took another look at it and you may be able to rig something up to lock it but "out of the box" so to speak it does not lock.

It has a locking system, zigzag style. At 200lbs, I trust it and haven't needed to adjust.

This stool is rated to safely hold 200 pounds, my husband is under 250 and was not comfortable using it; so I purchased another rated at 400+. We did not have any failures or breaks; just an uneasiness with the stability of the product.

Hi James, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This foot stool weighs 6 pounds and should be easy to be moved.

I tried weighing it by itself & my household scale wouldn't register anything. Then weighed myself without and then with the stool. I would say between 2-3 pounds. Light & easy to carry with the handy handle.

According to the product information, this stool weighs approx. 5.8 lbs. That works out great for me since I have a weight limitation to carry of 8 lbs. maximum per arm. This is due to having reverse shoulder replacement surgery done on both arms. It does not have a handle for carrying, but once it is folded together you can easily carry it by the seat's edge.

The unit you get from Amazon does have a locking mechanism..... it is the arm that you see in the top left of the picture.

No it doesn't. I don't have a scale, so I can't tell you exactly how much it weighs, but it is definitely NOT 49 lbs. I think the description must be wrong. The stool can easily be moved around...just slide the arms out, and move it to where you want. I would guess it maybe weighs 5 lbs or so. Hope that helps.

No, I don't think the stool weighs 49 lbs. it was somewhat heavy but I could easily lift it myself. So I know it couldn't be that heavy. Plus the seat is made of some sort of plastic and it mostly hollow. So much lighter than 49lbs. I just don't have an actual figure for you, sorry. But my son loved it and it finally got him completely potty trained.

when it is used as a step stool it locks. It is very easy to carry. I use it daily since I am just under 5' tall and can't reach very high. I recommend this item.

Hi! I have not actually used the stool because I felt it was too heavy for my needs and I planned to return it. However, I did originally buy it because it looked sturdy and had a nice wide step. It appears to be well made and very sturdy.Sorry I am not of more help.

The product discription says 300 lbs. My mother uses it. She only weighs 120 lbs. She likes that you can change the height of the stool. Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell there are no locking devices. The "feet" spread so far then stop but don't lock. The chair itself doesn't lock into any position since there are many positions you can be in. But I can assure you that it stays put. I'm overweight and it never tried to fold up on me as long as I had the feet all the way spread out. It's very comfortable and was great at the beach! Hope this helps!

It has no handles to speak of, but there are drainage holes in the seat that you can stick a finger through to get enough of a grip to lift it. It's either that or you can also grab the seat edge or the top of one of the legs for the same purpose. In addition, note that, according to the specifications, the stool weighs 3.5 lbs., so you also have to take into consideration whether you're capable of lifting that amount of weight.
