After understanding the many styles of camping chairs, you should pay attention to a few points when buying camping chairs:

Personal experience

Personal experience is very important! Before you plan to buy your own camping chair, you can try out a friend’s chair first. Don't rely on your imagination when buying a chair. After all, everyone's personal experience of comfort will be different.

Some chairs may be suitable for relaxing, but eating, cooking, and passionate chatting with friends may get stuck in the thighs or make the stomach feel uncomfortable.

After considering factors such as the usage scenario of the chair, the carrying space of the car, etc., if you buy the chair and try it out in person, return it immediately if it feels uncomfortable.

Storage

Storage volume is inversely proportional to comfort. Chairs with large storage volumes are better in terms of stability and support, but the price is that a certain amount of space in the rear compartment must be reserved for the chair.

After being stored, the chairs are generally flat and sheet-shaped. They may need to be stored first, stuffed under the trunk of the car, and then stacked with other equipment. After being stored, there is a columnar chair that can be placed flexibly according to its weight and can be placed on a backpack, motorcycle, etc.

Height

Generally, tables and chairs are used together. When choosing chairs, you should consider the matching of the chair surface and the table. High chairs should be matched with high tables, and low chairs should be matched with low tables. Avoid the embarrassment caused by uneven tables and chairs.

Buying a chair is the same as camping itself. There is no need to insist on getting it right at once. We can gradually have different experiences and needs based on the number of camping trips and the environment.

Friends who want to start an outdoor camping life may wish to start by buying a chair to sit outdoors and enjoy the beautiful scenery
