Rio Beach Portable Lay Flat Folding Backpack Beach Lounge Chair with Backpack Straps and Storage Pouch, Blue Stripe

I read all the reviews and purchased this beach lounger with some trepidation. I am an old school Senior Citizen, who has been spending 6 weeks in Miami Beach for a few years now. I threw away my old plastic web lounger because a few of the pieces had broken, and then when I tried to find a new one, I was very sorry to learn they are no longer available, except for over $60. It was too late; the old one was gone, so I started searching and read all of the reviews. While most of the reviews for this product are good, I was frightened by the ones where the material had torn after only a few uses, and even worse, stories of people falling because the lounger collapsed. Some said it might not work well on the beach, so I ordered a much more expensive, taller lounger, that might be used as a camp cot, and when it arrived I immediately saw that it was way too heavy for me to carry from my condo to the beach, so I returned it. All the others even ones more expensive than this one, had the same mixed reviews , so I decided to take a chance on this one as I did not want to have to search for one when I arrived after a two day drive. This lounger arrived and I put it in my van in the box. When I unpacked it in Miami Beach, I carefully saved the box thinking there was a good chance I would have to return it. As I have said, I am a Senior Citizen, with both knees having been replaced. I am 5 feet 4 inches and weigh 148. I very carefully fixed the straps, put this on my back, and went to the beach. I made sure I put the foot part down first, watching the top, and I made sure the the legs were locked. Before I got on it, I made sure it was pressed down in the sand, and I carefully straddled it, in the middle portion, Nothing awful happened. It did not fall with me on the beach, and it did not rip. I waited to review it until I have used it 10 times in 2 hour sessions. I will be happy if it just lasts this season. So far, no rips, and no accidents. Even the back straps have still held firm. Every day I expect them to rip, but they have not. I figure if that's the only problem, the lounger is very light and I can either have the straps sewn, or just carry the lounger. It is much lighter than the old school ones I have been using. When I get out of the lounger I have made certain to swing both legs together to the sand, twist my body, and hold on to both middle bars, and push myself up, I have had no trouble getting out that way, and have had no damage. I use am umbrella and am not trying to tan, so I have not tuned over, but just read, with the back extended and my feet flat. I do like the backpack straps. I have not used the little bag. I think that's a good idea, but I have a beach bag I like to leave right next to me, putting my phone and my kindle in and out of it, rather than having to get up and go around to the back of the lounger to get things. So far I am more than pleased with this purchase. If it rips the next time I use it, I will alter this review, but so far, very good!

Worth the buy Used for beach Easy to carry with backpack straps Not bulky but not to flimsy either Wouldn’t have a kid a kid jump on me or put to much weight on it, but did what I needed

Lounge is surprisingly sturdy, although not break-proof - I've had no problems with mine so far. Folds up easily, but also locks solidly in place when set up - comfortable fabric, does the job! Nice product, especially for the price.

good quality

I wanted to replaced my nearly-vintage lounge chairs from the early 2000s. They were a similar style but made with the plastic tubing/weaving. Those chairs survived over 20 years and still work. These chairs are AWFUL! Cheaply made. They do not lock into position properly. The legs aren’t solid tubing and therefore will have weak spots. We tried them and immediately boxed them back up for a return.

Good value

This chair was comfortable but broke within less than a week! Was not super sturdy!

I was completely unsure as to whether or not I should purchase this but gave it a shot anyway...it's PERFECT (so far. I'll update again after a while) I've used it a total of ten times so far and is exactly like it came. Now, because of the bad reviews, I've been careful to not flop down on it or put undue pressure in concentrated areas so that may be the trick. (I'm 5'9" 140 lbs for reference). I love the fabric it's made of! It's not plastic so it doesn't make you feel all sticky and sweaty... The breezes come right through it and help you stay cool in the Sun. The legs fold out at perfect angles and both ends go neatly into each position. It's got a HUGE pocket that carries everything, has claps to keep it stable in transport and storage and when I want to go out and lay in the sun, it's got straps like a backpack so I can carry it and leave both hands-free. I live in Florida so I won't leave it in the sun (everything biodegrades) but keep it on the lanai. I'll update again after summer, as it'll get daily use from April to November. Edit: I've had this chair well over a year now and its still in perfect condition! I absolutely love this thing...one of the few, surprisingly long lasting products I've bought online!

It's a very practical chair for the beach but it’s already splitting at the seam.

Quality product that works extremly well.

Estoy muy contenta con esta silla. Me encantan las correas tipo mochila y su ligereza. Es lo suficientemente resistente y se limpia fácilmente. Perfecta para mis necesidades.

While these were perfect, lightweight, designed with straps for easy transport and great in theory, the seams and the stitching disintegrated into a fine powder within about 6 weeks. Like finely sifted flour. The material itself tore after about 2 months of very minimal use. Massive waste of materials, the frames seem fine so will probably find someone to re-cover them but this is a very unsustainable product!!! They’re outdoor chairs so they should use materials that LAST. Instead now we have material with plastic component that will end up in a landfill. Super disappointed since otherwise they were exactly what I needed. So sad.

For the price this rocks. I bought it so I can tan in the yard. It is pretty comfortable, but take note of the weight limit as I really don’t feel like putting over 200lbs is a good idea. It tends to wobble a bit while getting up and down. I really like that both sides adjust so I can have my feet a bit elevated as well as my head. The chair is really light and packs easily. It would work well for the beach. Maybe next year!
