I tried to move the chair when the wind was blowing really hard and it almost knock me (a 160 lb woman) over. It pushed me backwards for several feet before i could stop it. I had to fall forward in the chair just to make it stop. It was actually hilarious. I wish I had a video of that to share........trying to come up with a negative, but there just are none.

I'd searched in stores and online for a good beach chair for years. This one ticks all the boxes just as a chair, with the sun shade as a surprisingly handy bonus.

As a chair it's comfortable, and that's what I'd expect. The folding and adjustment mechanisms are both smooth and sturdy. Folded, it carries easily and comfortably.

The shade has really impressed me. It offers good coverage while also being simple to deploy and stow. It can the adjusted easily with one hand and stays in place once set. Even in strong winds it will hold its position.

If you've been researching and debating chairs in search of the one that's just right, definitely go for this one.

I wish there was more to it for the price I paid! It’s functional…kind of. The adjustments for the angle of the chair are a bit hard to adjust and get to the position you want it at. Carrying it as a backpack is a bit uncomfortable since it so wide strapped. The materials feel okay not too cheap. The sun shade is okay pretty sturdy and provides enough shades up until your thighs. That’s where an umbrella will come in and provide full shade. If you just want shade for your face and shoulders then this is the chair for you. I wish it wasn’t too low to ground because then I’d be able to take this to parks or fields and have a little more height. I feel like I could’ve just purchased a nice high quantity lounging chair for both occasions or either one and bought a separate attachment which they sell on Amazon and connect the sun shade to said chair….but overall it’s a nice chair.

Believe it or not - I live at the beach and have never had a beach chair - don't sit much! But after an injury, I thought I would like a beach chair. I did so much research before spending on such an item. This one is perfect! It's really sturdy, roomy, and the right height off the ground. Not too high, not one of those-low-to the-sand chairs. The only thing is it is a bit heavy to carry far. (I'm in my 60s) however carrying it a block to the beach and down the sand to the water is a breeze. Really enjoying this chair. I should mention the sun protection - it's adjustable and really saves form the harsh sun!! Wow

Reviewed in Canada on July 21, 2022
Size: Sunshade BackpackColor: Royal BlueVerified Purchase
Pros and cons. Cons: 1) Unlike my previous beach chair this had no insulated cooler for drink cans, though the drawstring bag attached to the frame is large enough to take one. 2) The drawstring does not completely close the bag so loose objects - sunglasses, keys, sunscreen etc fall out if the chair is upended - as it will be when you open it on the beach or stow it in the trunk. 3) Again unlikely previous model, the chair frame cuts painfully and awkwardly across the lower back when the loaded chair is carried as a backpack. Pros: 1) Very effective sunshade. 2) Sturdy, light frame.

It broke the second time I used it. I'm not overweight or that large either. The concept is good; reclining, with shade, lightweight and built in backpack straps make easy transport.
However, the lightweight materials make it really flimsy and breakable.
