Types of Portable Chairs

Beach

• Lounging comfortably beside the sea requires a suitable, weather-resistant chair designed to sit sturdily on the sandy beach. Aluminum or wooden frames, assorted fade-resistant fabrics, multiple reclining positions, attachable umbrellas, canopies and low seats characterize portable beach chairs. Carrying cases with straps or handles and an average weight of 8 to 9 lbs. make portable beach chairs easy to carry with you.

Baby

• Baby chairs that hook onto the side of a table provide an ideal portable seat for toddlers. This portable chair is ideal for travel and eating out. The chair consists of a seat and back held together by a metal frame, attaching to a tabletop using vise-like grips. Safety straps hold a toddler securely fastened into the chair. Suction cups or spring latches provide added safety. Hook-on baby chairs aren't compatible for a young child trying to stand or push himself away from the table, commonly occurring when a child reaches 3 or 4 years of age.

Special Event

• Outdoor weddings, receptions, parties and banquets need adequate seating for guests. Portable chairs minimally designed with a seat and backrest accommodate special event attendees. Metal or wooden folding chairs in assorted colors and styles are lightweight and easy to transport in large quantities, stacking compactly on metal storage racks. Folding chairs may have optional comfort features, including padded seats and backs, armrests, footrests and attached cup holders.

Sporting Events

• Watching a sporting event while sitting on hard, metal bleachers can be tiring on back muscles. Stadium chairs provide a lightweight, portable solution, unfolding and strapping securely to a bleacher bench. Assorted color options displaying a variety of team logos provide personalized seat options. Sturdy, metal frames often support padded backrests and seat cushions. Selected varieties incorporate a backpack-cooler combo, converting easily into a stadium seat. Quad chairs, folding benches and director chairs provide portable seats for sporting events without any available seating.
