I love watching my nephew play Little League, but I don’t love the resulting bruises I get on my hip bones after lugging heavy metal lawn chairs to his games. My family’s old set offrom the early aughts . If you’re carryingI recently decided my family needed an upgrade, so I asked the HuffPost Shopping team if they knew of any lightweight folding chairs. Our managing editor immediately tossed out one brand and one brand only, “Helinox,” saying they “weighed one pound.
After confirming the chair was indeed as lightweight as I hoped, the next test was assembly. I somehow inherited my dad’s “I don’t believe in instruction manuals, I can do it myself” mentality, which never works — but it did this time. The chair is essentially a bunch of metal poles connected by bungees. If you twist and turn them randomly, the chair basically assembles itself in about 15 seconds. Then all you have to do is slide the canvas seat on the poles, and voila.
The final test: Comfort. The chair looks a little low to the ground, but once you’re in it you may find yourself taking a nap. It reclines at just the right angle, and there are no poles digging into your body — it’s a little canvas cocoon that feels stable. My brother ended up watching an entire NBA game in it when we set it up in our living room to test it out, if that’s any indication., which has a mesh pocket on the side to hold your belongings, comes in nine colors and costs $139.95.
