Great, portable beach chair!
So, it's December and cold, but I have a trip to the beach planned in a few months and am very excited to take my new chair! This chair is very comfortable and feels very durable. I love the fact that the straps on the back are used to keep the chair secure and also so it can be carried on your back like a backpack which frees up your hands for carrying other beach items, wrangling children, etc. It sits low to the ground as most beach chairs do, and it has multiple reclining positions, including being completely flat and very comfortable - with your legs and toes in the sand. I can see spending many comfortable hours on the beach in this thing. It also has a cup holder that's loosely attached to the side. I cannot speak to how well the frame of the chair will hold up to sand and saltwater, but from the feel of the make of it, I have high hopes that it will hold up well.

lightweight easy to carry chair
We go to the beach every year and we have tried many different brands of chairs this one is super comfortable. I can sit in this chair relaxing for hours while my kids play in the sand and run around at the water's edge. We love the blue color it is vibrant and puts you in the beach vacation mood even when looking at them. These chairs are very light easy to maneuver and carry all while juggling other beach necessities down to a day in the sun. These dry super-fast even before you make it up to the room which is convenient when you are in a hotel room with no room to unfold them to allow them to dry. The wider poles of the legs allow it not to sink into the sand as much as others with small legs which are nice for when you want to soak for feet but not the rest of you. One of my chairs clasp works great the other will not stay clasped to hold it in the carry position but other than that they seem to be incredibly made and sturdy even for my larger bum. I think these would be an amazing choice for anyone looking for a bargain beach chair. I would recommend these for any family who is looking for beach chairs that are made well and will last for years.

    Great for on the go
    My main use for these chairs is to take to the beach. The backpack straps will make carrying them from the car through the sand ideal. It's still a little cold though even here in California to go to the beach, so I tried these out in the backyard and at a sporting event. I do like that they are multi- positional, in fact they go flat as you can see in the photo. -Very helpful for the beach. The arms are a durable plastic with a canvas matching the chair for a bottle or can. The attached pillow is comfortable. I found the seat to be comfortable with no bars under me or bothering my back. The negatives for me were, there were no instructions and it was a little difficult to figure out how to use the backpack straps without the front part of the chair opening. May be on their website though. Also, the buckles worked a little "hard". Lastly, I would prefer the chair to be a little lighter in weight, but not sure if that would sacrifice comfort. All in all a sturdy and comfortable chair.

    Pretty Cool!
    I really like these chairs! Nice royal blue color. Cup holder. Nice straps for carrying on your back. Nice wide base, so no tipping. They fold out easily and smoothly and, it looks like material would be easy to clean with a damp cloth, if necessary.

    A Versatile Multipurpose Chair
    The Outdoor Spectator Multiposition Backpack Chair is a great chair suitable for camping, the beach or patio lounging. It is extremely light-weight but appears rugged and well made. You can position it from an upright sitting position to a complete reclining position and several other positions in between. It also has a convenient towel rack on the back when upright that also provides extra support when reclining. Be aware that the legs are quite short and which provides a close sitting in front of a camp fire. My 8 year old son loves this chair. He's been using it to sit in front of his game console and big screen TV. There is also a pillow style headrest and a beverage holder attached to the arm. The seat and back area fabric is a mesh pattern that ought to reduce sand buildup and keep it dry when taking it to the beach. And finally there is a a set of straps that allow you to carry the chair like a backpack leaving your hands free for other items you are bringing to the beach or while camping out. The Outdoor Spectator Backpack chair would be a great addition to any outdoor enthusiast or a sunshine beachcomber.

    Relax and enjoy beach time
    I received this item as a member of the Spark Review Team. Due to winter rain and cold and holidays i have not got to enjoy this chair at the beach yet but that has not stopped me from trying it out enough to give a review. This Outdoor Beach Chair is very comfortable and looks extremely nice and high end. There is no assembly required which is always nice and it is easy to set up. This chair has a very comfortable head rest that can be used or flipped to back for non use and is in just the right position to be soothing to the head and neck. It has multiple reclining positions from upright to laying flat which is nice when sun bathing or napping. It is made of an ultra light weight aluminum frame covered in 600 denier PVC coated polyester and has a mesh insert. The mesh insert allows sand to fall thru and helps to quickly dry that wet bathing suit or shorts and is sized to accommodate most women's bathing suits and men's shorts completely. It has an adjustable carry strap system that allows you to hand carry or carry as back pack. It has a mesh drink holder mounted on the front of the chair leg and is secure and convenient. There is also a towel bar on the back of the chair that can be raised for use or left down. I noticed the Wal-Mart site shows this chair has a 225 pound rating but the tag on the chair from the manufacturer says it is 300 pounds but that is static weight (stationary with no movement). This is a very nice chair that is comfortable, sturdy, lightweight, and eye appeal. I would highly recommend to anyone.

    Comfortable!
    This review is for the Outdoor Spectator Multi-Position Backpack Beach Chair. Living so close to the beach, we spend a lot of time there. Having a comfortable beach chair that is easy to carry is essential. This beach chair so comfortable! It reclines into several positions including laying flat. The reclining feature is really nice because you can leave the chair flat on the sand. It has an attached pillow which hits the back of the head perfectly. The arms have a rounded edge which is much more comfortable that the standard square-edged arms on other beach chairs. When the chair is fully upright, the folding support can be used as a towel holder. When the chair is fully laid back, the folding support ensures the chair remains secure throughout. There is a cloth cupholder attached to the chair to make it easy to keep a bottle of water nearby. The chair has a strap to keep it held together while carrying as well as straps to carry it crossbody or as a backpack. This is definitely a comfortable, sturdy and versatile beach chair.

    Just Love These Beach Chairs!
    I am so happy to receive these Outdoor Spectator Multi position Backpack Chair! I love it! During the summer we spend a lot of time at the beach with the kids and I always wish I had a good beach chair. With all the sand toys,blanket and towels, plus the cooler and 3 kids, it's always such a hassle to add beach chairs to the mix. Well these chairs are the perfect answer! I love that you can wear like a backpack, I don't have to lug them along or make 2 trips to the car, which sometimes is next to impossible once the kids hit the beach. The bright blue canvas is very pretty and durable. Excellent quality! The chair is easy to set up, and I really love how it easily goes in multi positions. When I first positioned the chair to flat, I realized with the built in pillow, it is the perfect size to use as a cot for my kids when we go camping! Wow, I love that! All in all, this chair is really awesome. You can take it to the beach, hiking, camping, but best of all, I can take it to my kids soccer and basketball practices and games. I'm getting a lot of wear out of these chairs, and it's keeping up with this busy family!

    Very comfortable
    I was pleased with the weight, ease of set up but most importantly the comfort. Seems pretty durable but only time will tell how well it holds up. Easy to carry and the little pillow is a nice touch.

    Nice little chair
    The Outdoor Spectator Multi Position Backpack Beach Chair is pretty great! The chair opens up easily and then folds right back together when you are done with it. It is multi-position so if you do not want to continually sit upright, the chair reclines to a few different positions, including reclining completely so that you can lie flat, which I love for days on the beach. The chairs are low to the ground which at first I did not realize, but do not mind at all. One nice thing about it is that it is mesh and beach sand will just go right through it unlike many other beach chairs. It also has a mesh drink holder, a towel bar on the back and a little pillow attached to it for your head. The chairs are very comfortable and they are nice and wide which is awesome if you are a little on the larger side. It is made of aluminum and so it will not rust and it is super light weight and very easy to carry, which speaking of, there are straps attached so that you can wear it as a backpack in case your hands are full.

    Great rust resistant chair
    This review is for the Outdoor Spectator MultiPosition Backpack Beach Chair - Walmart # 572432059. It is relatively light in weight at 7 lbs. 10 ounces, give or take 1 ounce. It has shoulder straps so that it can be worn on your back to whatever event. My main use will be going to the beach once it warms up again. My normal beach chair usage is 2 or 3 times a week during Spring and Summer. The biggest problem that I have had with previous beach chairs is rust at the hinges and on the tubular frame. However, the Outdoor Spectator Backpack Beach Chair appears to be all aluminum including the rivets. The hinge supports are plastic which is another plus for this salty environment. Another feature that I like about this chair is the mesh material from about mid back to mid-thigh in length. This should provide for a bit of air to keep from sweating as with the solid material usually found on this type of chair. It should also let the sand drop through as well. The rest of the material seems to be a smooth canvas with double stitching at every point that is sewed. There are 2 colors of this canvas to give this chair an expensive and nice look. It does have arm handles of dark grey color. There is an additional upper body support for when the chair is in full extension. There is also a beverage holder in the form of a round cloth pocket riveted to the right leg of the chair and a well-positioned headrest cushion. The front of the chair sits 12 inches from the ground on a solid floor. In the sand, this will probably be more like 10 inches off of the ground. Some may complain that this is too low, but I don't mind in comparison to hauling a full-size chair out to the beach or event. They appear to be a small company that has been in business for 15 years with only 9 chair and cot products. Could not find any information as to the location of the company or where they assemble and obtain their materials. I also do not see any information on warranty for their products. Even with that, I love and recommend this product, especially for beach environment.

    Beautiful with great features!
    I live only four hours away from beach. If you enjoy going to beach, this chair is a wonderful to have because of the following reasons: 1) It is colorful and looks very beautiful. 2) Material quality is excellent and pillow adds more to comfort 3) It is lightweight and you can easily carry with you like a backpack 4) You can change the position with ease from upright to much relax. 5) Towel hanger in the back of the chair is certainly a plus. Due to cold weather now, it will be a while before I go to a beach, but based on the chair's material, I feel the sand should not stick with the chair at least after it dries. This chair passes my criteria for a beach chair with flying colors:-).
