With its built-in carrying strap, you won’t mind strutting through the sand or walking around to find that ideal spot to get your bronze on. It holds up to 275 pounds, shows off a solid blue color, and has 5 adjustable chair positions with 3 adjustable footrest positions. You’ll have plenty of tummy time when relaxing on this Ostrich Deluxe Padded 3-N-1 Lounge Beach Chair, so don’t forget your book or magazine at home. We also let two boys, ages 1 and 5, play with them and sit on them in the backyard for six months.
No one was surprised to see this chair pass our durability test with flying colors. If you’re willing to try something a bit unique, a heavy-duty steel frame and sturdy fabric means your investment in this chair should pay off for a lifetime of outdoor relaxation. However, since many campers prefer chairs at a traditional height, the Kelty Lowdown narrowly missed winning our Best Overall pick.
Take comfortable and functional seating with you to the beach, or use it when you want in the backyard as a sun tanning chair. This 4 position Tommy Bahama high beach chair sits higher off the ground, making it easy to get in and out of and more comfortable and versatile. This chair has wide arms with an angled slot for a cell phone and beverage holder. It is made of durable polyester fabric and has a lightweight, rust-proof aluminum frame. The Trailhead is also on the heavier side for a camp chair, and it’s far from compact.
Some campers may need a high back with extra support, while others may prioritize a style that’s low to the ground. The Kijaro Dual Lock Camping Chair has everything you need for a convenient coleman canopy and comfortable stay in the wilderness. Equipped with a locking feature that ensures it stays taut, this chair immediately impressed us with its standout comfort and sturdiness.
In addition to the cooler, the chair has a mesh cup holder, two mesh pockets, and a roomy seat that’s 24 inches wide. It easily folds up and slips into its shoulder-strap carrying bag and is lightweight enough to carry to a picnic. While the padded seat and armrests are great for campers who like a cushioned feel, some may find the chair lacking in back support. The Kelty’s polyester seat cover manages to meld a cloud-like cushion with a supportive feel that’s kind to your back after a long day of roughing it. Adjustable armrests are equipped with insulated cup holders that can be expanded to fit massive water bottles and oversized mugs.
After all that, we concluded that the REI Co-op Camp Chair – Kids’ is the best choice for anyone who wants to buy a practical, portable outdoor chair for a small child. The Helinox Chair One weighs about 2 pounds, compresses smaller than a 2-liter bottle of soda, and is the most comfortable and easy to stow of the three top backpacking chairs we tested. Like competing chairs, the Chair One has a nylon and mesh seat and aluminum legs, which are linked with shock cord (the chair legs are made out of the same material as high-end tent poles). Keep in mind while you shop that not all camping chairs are created equal, even ones that look similar. Adult chairs can hold 225 pounds and greater, and some are designed to be oversized to provide a roomier seat for larger people. Though the weight capacity may seem like enough, having a greater capacity than you think you need might be something you want to consider, just to be safe.
Please notify Grandstand when you place your order if the products will be sold in California and we will determine if they need any Prop 65 Compliance labeling based on the materials used in your decoration. We found the Coleman Kickback Breeze Chair to be a simple yet very comfortable seat, though women liked it more than men did (many of them judged it to be too snug). Anecdotally, we found that this chair category in general is more popular among women than among men, who generally prefer a higher, upright seat. We think the REI chair functions better and will last much longer than the similar chair from Walmart.
