The seat is very nice and can hold weight. I’ve used it to hold a 24 can pack of Red Bull at the grocery store across from me and I just wheel it home with me. Having the seat everywhere I go is very nice. When Lyft drivers get my walker into their car it folds so easily and is very lightweight. I can lift it myself and put it in a car if I have to. Well worth it. It’s SO much nicer than it looks on the photos and this listing.
