Literally just this minute taken delivery of my new Vango Corona folding chairs. They're great. They pack up just like the supermarket ones (admittdly a little bigger) They also have 3 positions, so whilst not quite a lounger....they're not far off. They are also padded a bit so are much more comfy than the supermarket ones. At £25.00 each they are not cheap, but two weeks on our old ones would have really "mangled" my back. Got them from here:

Hope this helps.

We travel lite (no roof box or trailer) so we take a couple of cheap chairs because they fold up smaller. One of our cheap Millets chairs broke after a couple of trips. We've replaced it with a cheap (£5) Asda one and it looks a lot stronger but time will tell.

BTW - I don't work for Millets, Asda or Kendle Camping Centre

We use a couple of Royal Venice folding chairs. They adjust to sit upright at the table, then right back for sunbathing, and have a removable pillow. So cater for all uses.

Not cheap at £35 but well made and far, far superior to a couple of Easy camps we had which failed on our first trip (and we're both slim !!). Got 'em from a caravan dealers. My back's a bit umpty and I just can't sit in the new style folding chairs.

It has occurred to me that when folded they are still bulky and I'll maybe think about those fold flat chairs that people had before these sort came along. You know the sort, stripey, white plastic armrest jobbies. Anyone had them?

How about one of these

Spotted a couple of Oz Tents on my last camping trip and if the make of them is anything to go by these will be great.  They also have a 5 year warrenty! that works out at a £5 a year if you get them for the £25.

Hi Pally.

           I got a couple of Lafuma Champ Elips Padded, from Riversway, they were ex-display and still had the cellophane wrapping on, and are in mint condition, they were reduce to £30, you can just make them out in my Gallery, with the Biscaya, we don't have a roofbox or trailer, so space is tight with the VW Golf, although having said that we have a Thule 420Lt BackUp box, anyway the chairs fold quite flat, and take up about the same space as the camping kitchen, and they realy are very comfortable chairs indeed. being Lafuma spares are available should the fabric become worn, which is handy to know for long term use.

Hi pally.

           Catterick Caravans have very good stock and display of the Lafuma chairs, and they also have a decent cafe there!, worth a visit if only just for a mooch, very nice staff, it is were my Biscaya came from.
