Overview
This TravelChair Larry Chair was launched for the first time more than a decade ago. So imagine, it has been tried and tested by many, and it is still around, this tells you this is a well-made product built to last.
The chair has no removable pieces, so this is an ingenious folding design. The horizontal bars under the seat fold in the middle, and this applies also to the backrest bar that folds in the middle and then it folds forward. So the chair becomes very thin when packed, measuring only 19 x 12 x 2.5 in (48 x 30 x 6 cm), see how it looks from the side when folded:
As you realize from the pictures, there are no armrests, so I have included it in my list of best armless camping chairs. Note that it comes with a carry bag included.
Materials
The frame is a combination of powder-coated aluminum and steel. There are no classic feet here, you have bars that will not easily sink in the ground no matter where you use this chair. But they have added small caps to increase friction on a smooth surface.
The fabric is a 420D Ballistic Nylon mesh, quick drying, lightweight, and strong.
In the video below you can see how easy it is to use this chair, please have a look:
Who is this chair for
Regarding the capacity, I would describe it as very typical, the official capacity is 250 lb (113 kg). This should be good enough for most of users, but if you need more, please check my list of camping chairs for heavy people.
Regarding the dimensions, you can see them in the picture above. So the chair is quite small and the seat is low, you can realize this from the picture below.
Regarding the weight, it weighs 7.9 lb (3.6 kg). So it depends on your attitude, you can describe it as moderately light or moderately heavy. The packed size you have already seen.
So it packs thin and it will not take much space in the car. But you can transport it even on a bicycle. The picture below shows yet another way of using it.
Regarding the price, I think it is very good for such a great design and such a unique and versatile chair.
