This is an amazing product. It allows you to do almost all of the things you normally do. It's fairly easy to learn to use. I'm one of those people that can trip over air and I was walking hands free in a matter of minutes. You can get in and out of it very quickly. The only con I can think of is that it might not be good for someone with a bad knee. Definitely better than crutches or a knee scooter because it frees up your hands and also allows you to get into tighter spaces.
