is this a quad cane?

No, it is not a quad cane. It has an enlarged foot on it, but it won't stand up easily on its own.

Don't know, but I will not let my MIL even use this cane, not safe! Got her a hurricane instead.

I would simply call whomever you ordered them from and tell them that one of the canes is defective and you want them to exchange it for a new non-defective one. I have used my Hugo quadpod cane for over a year now and it is my favorite cane. Yes, it does not always stand by itself when on carpet or on non-level floors but from the reviews I have read, none of them do so. I would not want the cane to be any heavier or else it would be too heavy for me to use all the time. I like mine so much that when my aunt was told by her doctor that she must start using a cane I bought one for her. I had my aunt try out all of my canes and she also preferred the Hugo Quadpod. Good luck.

You must smack this Quad Pod on a hard surface to seat it into the base of the cane. This item has a tapered insert that comes with an allen wrench to secure it to the bottom of a hollow aluminum cane. It does not come out unless you remove the allen screw.

No, but for someone who LOVES color, it's OK since this is THE best cane (and I use it for vertigo and am 49).

Yes, but only very slightly. I found this cane chair to be exactly what I needed. It's very, very light but sturdy enough for an average person.

Yes. BUT there are not 7 floats like the picture shows. Mine only cane with 5. It was not as shown..

If I remember right, my son said the tip of the cane should be about 5/8' . Mine was larger than that so it wouldn't fit. I returned the Quadpod to Amazon and they refunded my money and I bought the Hugo cane with the attached tip. I love it.

Yes, but the grip is hard I think you may like a foam covered handle better. you will have more choices if you search Amazon for a cane 300 pounds. Here is a lighter cane with soft handle 300 pound max NOVA Medical Products Designer Cane with Offset Handle, Proud Peacock

The Hurrycane was send as a birthday gift to a friend of ours. I do believed the Quadruple Cane Tip fit on the original Hurrycane. I've seen him using it. FYI only !

Having never had to use a cane before I would hazard a guess that it would be much better than a single since it is more stable--that is it will stand on its own. I had no trouble with using mine.

This is much better than a quad cane. My doctor does not recommend quad canes because he had a numbers of patients tr over the extending legs. From my own experience I highly recommend the rubber quad addition my cane

There's a vice grip in the base. It grips the end of the cane. I can't remember if a Hex Key (I think that's what it's called) came with the Quadpod but it's very simple to attach. Simply tighten the vice and you're done. It's very secure. My mom's physical therapist had never seen this and was very impressed with its stability. He liked it much better than the 4 prong base. I hope this helps!

Yes that's the cane I ordered. The name on it is Rosco Medical. May I ask why you asked?

Not sure what you're asking but I think the Hugo Ultra Stable for left or right hand is so stable I can't think that the extra piece would make it better. Try it just as it is and I think you will find it the most stable of the quad canes.

I presume you mean that you purchased a quad pod tip and that you want to put it on a cane your husband already owns. The quad pod tip, according to the Amazon website, is 3/4 in. If the cane is designed for a 3/4 in. tip, there should be no problem.

yes, it can be used as both, and that's the way I used it, but it's heavier than a cane by itself, so I wouldn't want to use it regularly as a cane
