If we could only travel with one chair... which one and why

We travel with more than one camping chair in our Ekko... but IF WE COULD ONLY TRAVEL WITH ONE.... WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE?
After 30 years of RV travel it's safe to say we've been through some outdoor chairs. Over the years we've found what we think is the perfect combination for us. Not the perfect chair but the perfect combination of chairs. So which one? The answer might surprise you.

I love the Stargazer chair the best too! I like the other that swivels as well. The Stargazer is nice especially when you gaze up into the stars. Nice and relaxing. Great video! And thank you for this video.

We love our Stargazer chairs!!! The first edition was a bit smaller , not as wide but when they came out with the bigger one, my husband got his own. No issues with the new version to set up or break down once you done it a couple of times. Perfect size for a small Class B. They are also from the US and have a Lifetime Warranty!

Having only enough room for two chairs we settled on the GCI kickback rocker. You can sit upright at a table to eat, you can rock and lay back somewhat. It’s a jack of all trades and master of none so we live with the compromises.

We got a Nemo from REI when they went on sale for about $100 off. Couldn't get it together. Neither of us (78 & 83) had the hand strength to stretch the fabric over the legs. We were told it would stretch and get easier, but we returned it to REI. We left it with a young salesperson sitting on the floor struggling to get it together. I think it took her about 10 minutes because it was so stiff. Also, I didn't think they were that comfortable, but I wanted something for stargazing specifically. For me, I never knew where to put my arms and it bunched up uncomfortably under my bum. I have one Pico and have never used it. Didn't find it comfortable because it lacks lumbar support. And you can't slouch in it. We use our two Cliq chairs - similar to your little swivel job - and two of their larger Cliq Lounges. The smaller ones are quick and easy to deploy and they are angled in such a way that they're really quite comfortable - and they have a well engineered structure that I can easily put my hands on the corners of the chair and push out of it. The Lounges take a little more work, but if I want to spend quality time, I have something with a comfy headrest that I can tip back and look at the sky. But nothing that we have swivels or rocks.

We love our Strongback chairs. Great back support, good height so easy to get in and out. Putting out and putting away pretty easy. Only downsides are they take up space similar to standard camp chairs and you need a foot rest for napping. 😊

@Eat.Travel.Overland Ай бұрын

Agree! That Stargazer is so frustrating to try and put back into the bag! 😂

@grillinandchillinwithdeb Ай бұрын

All 3 a great but my preference would most likely be the one I could fit in my backpack for hiking. ❤Maggie Hugs please.

I’ll stick with my Coleman/Harbor Freight chairs with side table. Comfortable and affordable.

We have 2 Hammock chairs and love them. They are a similar type of chair and come apart in 2 pieces-the base and the seat and go into a bag. It’s not too hard to get them into the bag but they take up a taller/longer profile than the Nemo since they don’t break down as much. You can get them online -ours are from Costco.

We’ve seen the one’s at Costco, it’s good to hear you like them.

I have the PICO chair. I like being able to put my feet up so I added a little three leg stool/chair that works perfectly together.

@dawnloveless1165 Ай бұрын

Stargazer for me. I do agree that getting it back in the bag takes a minute

@itchingtogo7362 Ай бұрын

After you reviewed the PICO I bought one. I really like it. I do have to pay attention putting it up, but I like the arms and sturdiness. And it fits in my little van perfectly!!

@controller2152 Ай бұрын

I have the Nemo rocking chair too. I love it and always take 2 of them.

@michaelbecnel63 Ай бұрын

We travel with 2 pico chairs. They're comfy, easy to put and and take down and fit well in our Travato. My wife saw the Nemo on one of your recent videos and like it a lot....i guess a Nemo will be traveling with us soon

But which chair is Maggie’s favorite? 😁😉 Thank you for the review of the chairs! I am checking the swivel and stargazer chairs out from your links. Those look super comfy!

Maggie prefers the ground to a chair or a bed. 🤷‍♀️

We have club chairs for sitting outside and folding director chairs for visiting friends sites, or for anywhere we need a chair.

I have been considering the TCEK chair for the beach as beach chairs are just too low for my old bones, but I am concerned about stability in sand. Your demo was on a hard surface.

@VANTREKKINGlifestyle 29 күн бұрын

We have not tried the TCEK chair in the sand so I can’t say for sure how they would do.

We use the strongback chairs. They are great.

I’m a big guy at 275#’s, so the Pico is a no go with a 250# capacity, but the Stargazer would work since it has a 300# capacity

Great video! Thanks for the review and demonstration on those chairs along with your honest opinion. I too have spent a fortune on trying to find the “perfect chair” which you’re right doesn’t exist. So recently I bought the Ostrich Deluxe 3 N 1 Beach Chair (Pink) of course! 😍… I bought it for approximately several reasons 1. It sits approximately 13 inches from ground which is Goldilocks perfect for me. 2. It sits low enough that my little Bichon Frise puppy can jump up and lay down at the foot. He just won’t lay down on the ground even on a dog bed 🤣🐶… what have i done! 😂.. So this chair is perfect for a spoiled puppy! 3. You can also sunbathe lying on your belly while reading a book and staying hydrated drinking a cold beverage because of the face cut out feature! 4. It does have a side pocket for phone and accessories as well as a beverage holder. 5. It’s a very pretty chair Have you guys ever taken notice of this chair? Again, I simply adore you guys 🥰.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us🙏🏻♥️

Wife and I used to drive around campgrounds looking at people's chairs. if we saw one we liked we would strike up a conversation about the chairs. Everyone likes to talk about their equipment. So with that said, go get yourself a couple of GCI road trip rockers. hands down the best camp chairs ever. the Kickback rockers are the same but just a shorter back, which i dont like.

@VANTREKKINGlifestyle 29 күн бұрын

Thanks for sharing, we’ll have to check out the GCI road trip rockers. That is a great way to figure out what the best chair is.

The GCI chair has a lifetime warranty. We just contacted them with an issue with one of ours and within a week they sent us a new one.

One chair won't cut it, my wife prefers a rocker and i use a DoD that has adjustable legs for different situations and times of day

I have the Pico and Nemo chairs. The Nemo bag handle came unsewed. Am disappointed in that aspect for the price I paid. It is comfortable. The Pico is my go to chair to eat or watch gkids baseball games.
