The walking aid of the present invention comprises: a main frame extending forwardly downwards, and having a front wheel attached to a first side in the length direction thereof a handle frame joined on the other side in the length direction of the main frame a pair of rear-wheel frames extending rearwardly downwards, having rear wheels attached to first sides in the length directions thereof and being coupled to the main frame on the other sides in the length directions thereof, and being disposed with an orientation such that the separation between same increases progressively towards the first sides in the length directions thereof and a horizontal shock-absorbing means attached so as to link the pair of rear-wheel frames, and generating a resilient force oriented so as to close up the distance between the first sides of the pair of rear-wheel frames when the distance between the first sides increases as the pair of rear-wheel frames are spread apart. The walking aid of the present invention is advantageous in that said walking aid: has a straightforward construction and hence is easy to carry and store has a shock-absorbing function in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction and hence has an outstanding feeling in use and allows the users weight to be supported stably without risk of tilting or overturning because the weight of the user is applied at a point between the front wheel and the rear wheels.Linvention concerne un dispositif daide à la marche comprenant : une structure principale se projetant vers lavant et vers le bas et comportant une roue avant fixée dun premier côté dans le sens de la longueur une structure à poignées jointe de lautre côté dans le sens de la longueur de la structure principale une paire de structures-roues arrière se projetant à larrière vers le bas, comportant des roues arrières fixées aux premiers côtés dans le sens de la longueur et couplées à la structure principale au niveau des autres côtés dans le sens de la lo
