This is perfect for someone having to travel over the holidays when you have to spend a lot of time waiting in line. Great for parade's or any event where it is difficult to stand because of physical limitations or you're having to hold a small child, etc. It only weighs 1 1/2 pounds and folds and unfolds in 2 seconds. The seat is 8" x 8". The entire length from handle to bottom is 34" folded up so it will fit in any vehicle or use it as a cane while walking until you have to open it up and sit. It measures 21" high from floor to seat once it is open. The handle makes it easy and comfortable for carrying.
