We’ve all been there. Getting to camp or to the game and realizing we don’t have our portable chair is a big disappointment. Sitting on the damp ground (and getting up off of it) is something we’ve outgrown. Blankets offer no back support. A supportive and easily transportable chair is an outdoor activity essential to enjoying our event or our surroundings.
A modern take
With a modern design and fixed legs, this outdoor rocking chair feels secure whether you’re watching the game or the roaring campfire. Outdoor rockers have come a long way since the 1960s Beverly Hillbillies tied Granny’s rocker to the top of their truck. Everyone will want to have a glide on this redesigned portable rocking chair. Since it’s crafted from a steel and aluminum frame, it’s sturdy enough to hold 250 pounds. With molded armrests and a beverage holder, you’ll be set for the day or the evening. At just about 13 pounds, it folds to fit in its crossbody bag with a shoulder strap for taking this supportive chair to festivals and concerts.
