If there isn’t sufficient wind it could be a challenge to inflate. Plus, getting in and out of the chair could be challenging for some. Since these chairs are being used outdoors in the sand, you’ll want to ensure it’s made of durable materials. Aluminum is a common material for beach chairs and for good reason—it’s both lightweight and outdoor-friendly, so it’ll be easy to transport and can withstand the elements. Some may be made with steel or wood frames, which are also durable.

Aluminum is a trusted material for outdoor furniture as it’s both lightweight and durable. It won’t rust, however it can corrode or oxidize, causing brown spots on your furniture. Try to keep your chairs as dry as possible and wipe them down when you get home.

What to look for in a beach chair

Parasols are built like conventional umbrellas, with a center pole and a mechanism that expands and collapses the umbrella. Look for study mechanisms that are easy to open and close, and that let youadjust the angle to follow the sun.The bigger the parasol, the more shade you get, but the heavier it is. The chair can easily hold up to 250 lbs but pay attention to those legs and feet. The greater the weight the more likely you are to sink the legs into the sand, so keep that in mind.

One tester said that the opening and closing process isn’t self-explanatory, so it may take a bit of getting used to. The easy-to-use canopy offers 50+ UPF sun protection and will provide a cool breeze on hot sunny days, while the padded armrests and oversized seats make it a pleasure to sit in at the beach, in the park, or anywhere else you choose to take it. With a cup holder in each arm, you can ensure that you always stay well-hydrated, and the padded carry bag with strap makes it easy to move around with you.

Think About Portability & Storage

Some beachgoers opt for a seat that simply serves as a barrier between them and the sandy surface. A beach mat chair resembles a yoga mat and lays atop the sand. Most beach mat chairs have a head rest pillow either built into the mat or as an inflatable option. Beach mat chairs are the most portable lightweight option of beach chairs, but it is not the best choice if you want to avoid sitting in the sand. Beach mat chairs are ideal for last minute trips and are a great option to keep in your vehicle as a seating option for unexpected adventures.

If possible, you should test out a few beach chairs at the store to find the height that’s most comfortable for you. Think About Portability & Storage After rolling your beach trolley to your favourite spot, unfolding your picnic blanket and putting up your beach tent, you'll want to get out a beach chair to give your legs some rest while you sink your toes in the sand.The frame is steel so keep that in mind if you’re near salt water. Make sure you wipe it down and dry it off after use, and consider using a rust proof coating to help extend the lifespan of the chair. If you’re looking for a chair that can be used for a range of activities, the Kijaro Coast Folding Beach Sling Chair is a solid option. It sits higher up than the common low-profile beach chair, and our tester said it’s “high enough off the ground that I'm sitting comfortably, and low enough that I can recline nicely.” While the chair might be too bulky for a child to easily carry it, the chair folds up and fits into a carrier bag that makes it easier to transport, and there were no issues with unfolding the chair for the first time. The chair includes several built-in accessories like two cup holders, a cooler on the armrest that can fit up to six 12-ounce cans, and a headrest pillow—all of which are ideal accessories for game days, lawn concerts, or trips to the beach. In testing, we thought the beach chair was well built, with our tester noting that it’s “one of those chairs you'll have for a couple decades.”
