I use a cane on a daily basis. If a store has a scooter i use it. I do most of my groceries thru walmart online and just drive over to pick it up. I limit that to package stuff and go to kroeger to get frest fruit and veggies, cold cuts. aAs far as anything else, if i can buy it online and deliver it, I do it. I am done with fighting store crowds. people are just too rude sometimes and it ties up my day too much .
I think whatever works for you, go for it!!! We are all different and anything that would give you even a bit of relief or feel safer or more comfortable with, do it!

Yes I have a walker with a seat
