Coleman Deluxe Event Chair with side table

And thanks to its collapsible design and convenient carrying bag, this folding chair is easy to store and transport. Have a cold drink at hand at the campsite, BBQ or picnic with a Coleman® Cooler Quad Chair. The cooler built into the armrest holds up to 4 cans and provides easy access to a cold drink once the one in your mesh cup holder is empty. While you sip on your favorite beverage, the comfortable head cushion only adds to your relaxation.

If you notice some mildew on your chair or happened to enjoy a particularly muddy weekend, cleaning off your camp chair is a relatively straightforward process. I’d also recommend the Cooler Quad to anyone who wants a roomier camp chair but doesn’t want to spring for the more expensive top-of-the-line models. Compared to the competition, even our other top contenders, you’re getting a lot of value out of this chair. There aren’t many other options out there with such a high carrying capacity, this many features, and low weight at any price range.

The Renetto chair usually comes in between 8 and 10 colors and is rated to hold up to 350 pounds. Walk around any campground or tailgate party, and you’ll notice the popularity of this variety of accordion-style seat. You can pick one up at just about any big-box store (sometimes for as little as $10), order one with your favorite sports team’s logo, or pay a premium for a similar model from Cabela’s or REI. You can stow this featherlight, compressible chair in a backpack or even a work bag.

If you’re after a novelty chair with an included cooler, you’ve found it. But if you want something comfortable enough to watch an all-day soccer tournament and durable enough to bring back every season, we don’t think this one is a winner. Though it’s one of the least expensive chairs we tested, we’re still not sure it’s worth it. Lackluster performance and a cooler that’s only moderately useful but surprisingly in the way make us feel like there are much better options out there, even if the chair and cooler have to be separate. It had some thickness, with at least a couple layers of fabric making up the body, but this doesn’t help the integrity. The armrests are technically adjustable, though they are only attached through round discs, making it easy to accidentally push them down with your elbow during a routine readjustment.

A close-to-the-ground chair is often the ideal choice for outdoor concerts, movies, theater performances, and other events where you will be concerned about blocking other people’s view. After six months of regularly using the Coleman Cooler Quad Chair, we think it’s the best choice for most people who are seeking an upright chair for car camping, tailgating, and outdoor gatherings. We noticed during the first of our three camping trips—a weekend in California’s Joshua Tree National Park, with a total of seven families—that, given the choice, campers prefer to take the biggest seat. When we set up a dozen chairs around the campfire without comment, people consistently claimed them from largest to smallest. Those curious should head over to our buyer’s guide for everything you need to know about what your criteria should be.

There’s nothing like spending an afternoon sitting outside and basking in the sun on a warm day, whether it’s on a beach, at a sports game, or even just in the backyard. When you’re searching for a new camp chair, sometimes you aren’t looking for the lightest possible option- you want the beefiest chair out there that can soak up as much strain as possible. Here’s a list of some of our top contenders in the durability category.

With a mesh cup holder in the right arm and a mesh pocket in the back you can conveniently store everything you need. For added convenience, this folding chair has a built-in carrying strap, so no need to keep track of a bag. Show off your team spirit or corporate pride by adding your custom branding. As the name suggests accent chairs not only provide secondary seating in your room they are meant to complement the color tone and texture of wall paint and other larger furniture pieces.

We did select our favorite upright chair for car camping and tailgating, and then additional low-to-the-ground, ultra-lightweight, and canopy picks, as well as a great chair for kids. The Coleman Cooler Quad isn’t for trekking miles down the trail, but at the very least, you can throw it across your back on a sling and have your hands free to carry a few extra things to the campsite. The makings of great camping chairs aren’t all that complicated, and Coleman’s Cooler Quad hits the nail on the head.

It comes in gray or blue, and as of this update it gets 4.7 out of five stars from reviewers on the REI site. They’re also far more expensive and significantly less comfortable than typical full-size camp chairs. We recommend buying this type only if you intend to carry your chair long distances, whether you’re backpacking coleman sleeping bag or trekking across Central Park. If you do need a fits-in-a-knapsack chair, we recommend the Helinox Chair One. We found this model to be slightly more comfortable and easier to pack than other, similar chairs. The Coleman Mesh Quad Chair AC7006 is perfect for your tailgating, spectator and camping needs.

Again, nothing broke on this chair during our few months of testing, but we are skeptical of its longevity. Always have a cold drink within easy reach at the campsite, tailgate or kids’ ball game thanks to the cooler built into the armrest of the Camping Chair with Built-In 4-Can Cooler.
