Weasel,
It's not the easiest thing to get out of if you try to stand up like from a normal chair, but I manage ok. Sometimes it's easier to just roll out of it to the side. The thing I like about this seat, besides having a good back rest, is that it can be used on a hillside and basically on any terrain within reason. I've used it on some pretty darn steep mountains here in VA. The back is adjustable and allows for reclining back quite a lot. If there is a downside to it, I think it's probably bulk, and I don't like so much black on the back rest. It's not heavy at all and I put the sling that came attached to it, over my shoulder on the off side and it carries well. It's just a little bit wide for carrying, but I've grown used to that and don't mind it at all. It's one heck of a comfortable chair and I don't regret the purchase. I carry it on all my hunts and on the occasional time I have forgotten to take it (which hasn't been many), I felt plum unprepared for the hunt. Once settled in, I feel like I can sit on stand for hours. I do think this is one darn good chair to consider, but don't know how much problem you might have with it due to your circumstance. It's a little pricy perhaps compared to some others, but well worth it in my opinion. If I recall right, I think it was around $45 for the camo version.
