I found an awesome cane for travelling!!
http://www.hugoanywhere.com/comersus/store/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=28
I am using it for everday, but for people who might need that extra support for disney but want to try to go without a wheelchair/ecv (or need the extra oomph to get out of the wheelchair/ecv) this is great. it can support up to 550 lbs, but it is light weight. it folds small enough to fit at the bottom of a backpack or larger purse. Below is a review of it I wrote for another website. It is $12 at sams club, or $30 on their website. so it is a low-cost way to give a cane a try. plus, it infolds itself!!
Review:
I put off getting a cane for a long time, and when I finally got one, I went with the Hugo Folding Cane. This is amazing, and I have only had it for a couple days. It comes with a well-shaped handle, is adjustable for people from 5’ to over 6’, and comes in several colors (I know of black, a silver/graphite/purple, and bronze).
Here is the best part: it is a folding cane that unfolds itself! There is an elastic that runs down the middle, and when you take the binding strap off (comes with the cane) that keeps it folded, it literally unfolds itself, and fits the segments together with no work from you! You just pull the pieces apart again (no twisting of pieces) and put the strap on and it will fit easily in a backpack, larger purse, or even the seat-pocket of an airplane.
On their website www.hugoanywhere.com, you can purchase the cane, as well as replacement heads. You can get fancy heads for going out, or super soft one for delicate hands. On their website a new head is $7. The cane with carrying pouch (which has a loop on the back so it will hook to the side of walkers), is $30. However, I bought it at Sam’s Club for $12.00. It was a great investment, and great for those of us with weak or painful hands!
Note: apparently you can get it on amazon.com too!
