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

I bought two of these lounge chairs and took them to the beach for my son and I to use. They worked great, and I recommend. However, they are not playing about the weight limit! My son had no problems with his chair, and neither did I at first. However, I am about 10lbs over the suggested weight limit, and by day two the legs of my chair bent, and by day six, my chair was trash. My son's chair is still in excellent condition though. Long story short, abide by the weight limit. My only complaint, is the chair could be a little wider, as it left no room for my arms (my son either), so our arms had to either rest over our heads or on the ground aling our sides.

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!

It collapses when you try to get on it, the weight bearing metal bars underneath the fabric aren't able to bear any weight, I've hurt myself twice when trying to get on it, the supporting bars aren't able to support any weight, and I'm not a big person. I haven't taken this lounge to the beach yet, maybe if I dig the bottom metal bars into the sand it will stay in place. UPDATE: I took it to the beach and it worked out really well where the metal weight bearing bars dug into the sand really well. I'm very happy about this as this was a rather pricey purchase. Just know that it doesn't work anywhere but the beach, and there, it outperforms because it's awesome with the shoulder straps where you can wear it like a backpack, that is super awesome. I originally rated this as 1 star but because it works really well at the beach, I updated my review to 4 stars.

So glad I found this chair! I looked all over town and this was the best price for what I wanted. It’s comfortable to lay out on and material is breathable. Didn’t necessarily need the carrying straps but an added bonus. My go to sub bathing chair. Beautiful color!

PROS: the colors and cloth material are really nice and it's very light weight. CONS: Unfortunately, after less than 2 months of use the metal joints broke and now it can't lock on one end the other end can't lock on one side so the chair is headed off for scrap.

Love the chair. Easy to clean. It folds nicely.

Yes, it is a lounge chair and I had no choice but to use it on my trip. It is comfortable and perfect if you only want to lay flat. Forget trying to sit at any angle. The minute you get up and sit back down, the back folds in on you. It's because the material for the lounge chair is all one piece and when you sit, it pulls the fabric and causes the back to pull forward. I finally figured out to hold the seat back in place and sit down slowly. The seat material is good and comfortable just poorly designed. I've only used it for 2 days and one of the legs doesn't want to close, it's stuck open. The hinges and connections are cheaply made and I doubt I will get another season out of it. For the price, it should be much better quality. I'm going to try and find one that isn't one piece of fabric. I miss the good old weaved plastic ones that were separated. They just don't make things like they used to.

Loved it super useful at the beach not too heavy at all
