Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking aid device in which a feeling of using it is improved and a feeling of restraining is not given a user even in a state of supporting both legs, for example. SOLUTION: The walking aid device includes a support member 10 capable of supporting a user and a leg link that is coupled to the support member 10 freely rockably in a direction (longitudinal direction) parallel to the advancing direction of the user and in the left/right direction (lateral direction) orthogonal thereto. When the user is supported by the support member 10, an assisting force for supporting at least a part of the user's weight through the leg link is generated to aid the user in walking. The walking aid device is further provided with a rocking starting member 70 which makes the support member 10 start rocking in the left/right direction when the leg link is rotated outward to a prescribed angle θ in the left/right direction, and which comprises a guide rail (connecting member) 32 connected to the leg link 14 and a stopper member 70a to be abutted on the guide rail.
