PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IS NOT ACCURATE!
1 out of 5 stars
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IS NOT ACCURATE!
I bought his product to squish in the narrow opening for the back seat of my canoe, where a larger framed seat would not fit. DO NOT buy this if you are expecting it to have the features described in the product description. It DOES NOT have webbing straps on the bottom to attach to your canoe seat, and it DOES NOT have a mesh pocket on the back! The features section is the actual description of the product; so if that's what you are looking for, this seems like an OK product, but probably not as good as something with a strong frame-like structure for similar cost. This IS NOT the best solution for canoe seats!

    We love this seat! It perfectly solved our problem! We needed something to take to the beach, that would fit under the 4 ft tall shelter we have for our grandbaby. I was killing my back trying to sit on the ground and feed her.....and getting up dang near killed me! This seat is so perfect for this.....the cushion seat is extra soft on the hard packed sand/shell ground, and the adjusting sides means I can have total back support.....I found I can even rock back and forth in the seat with the baby in my arms...perfect! What a lifesaver this seat has been! We looked at other seats online, and read all the specs and reviews, and this one, even though it was a bit more money, definitely was what we needed......totally worth the few extra bucks! Plus, we love that it has the straps to carry on my back.....it's very lightweight, I don't even know I'm carrying it.....but that means I don't waste precious space in the wagon for it! Awesome!

    I took this with me on a camping trip in the mountains. The chair is very bulky, and unless you have a car or porters then you won't be able to take it. The construction is solid, and I'm a 6'3" 220lb guy and I didn't have any issues with the straps holding, nor the seat going too flat (it kept the chill from climbing from the ground to my backside), and was wide enough not to feel constricted.

    I bought these for an outdoor lawn seating concert that ended up being cancelled.they were in the car for when we went to see Dancing with the Stars & since I live with a really painful illness I figured I had nothing to lose by taking it into the show. Wow was I ever surprised the padding was awesome and the back once I got the adjustment down gave me a lot of back support too. I usually can't make it to the first intermission without having to leave my seat cause I'm in so much pain. I'm also squirming in my seat like a bored 5 yr old cause I hurt so bad. Shocker I made it to the end all I did was stand up for about 5 minutes and I was good to go. Anything that helps me enjoy life and reduce my pain are few and far between. This seat gave me just those things and I'm so grateful to the people who made them. Seriously give them a try if you're like me or to just be more comfortable.

    My husband and I are not small people so it was hard to find a stadium seat that was comfortable. We use these for floating the river to give our backs support. They worked great. Very well made. And I love the fact they have a back pack strap so if your hands are full, you throw it on your back.

    I bought this product to use in India where I would be sitting on the floor at spiritual retreat. It was exactly what I needed - gave me the back support and cushion without being a large item to bring into the centre. I highly recommend!
