Hi all, I'm looking at getting some inflatable chairs for the tent and as its already been discussed on here that the Coleman ones are no good I,ve been looking at either these Inflatable Flocked Sofa Chair - Single which they do in a 2 seater version on

http://www.safield.co.uk/-c-30_51.html?osCsid=7s5vfonfonioifeucsfgo47am3 

or these Vango ones. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1428744-10297635?URL=http://www.wildday.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?id=8638 ?

Anyone have any ideas on what these are like or any other ones which are better? 

Thanks in advance

Gary

I got some last year ; similar to the one in the pic but mine have speakers in the back for my ipod .

They take up quite a bit of room when inflated , and are quite low , but we found them pretty comfortable . They take up very little space when packing , which is why I got them in the first place .

I don't even think I could convince my GF that chair would be an essential item

All those that i have tried on displays were so low that i really struggled to get up out of them, and needed a pull-up from hubby to get me back onto my feet, you definatly need to be fairly fit and agile to be able to use them without problems!

Some of them just wobbled everywhere and it was like trying to get up off a dish of Jelly, no firm points like real chair arms to push up onto when trying to get back up to standing!

I've thought about inflatable chairs before but seen so many in the campsite bins from punctures etc it put me off, not into throwing money down the drain.

I think the technique is to roll over on your hands knees and say some bad words while you flail about on the floor like an octupus.....

....just me then.

Sounds exactly like me trying to get out of the Sunncamp inflatable one lol.

It looks the part but more for the kids than the parents (in this family at least!)

I roll over anyway when I have had a few glasses so rolling out of one of these wouldn't be a problem for me

Do you mean I have to start acting like an adult?   I'm sure I can manage rolling around on the floor, even sober.

They all look pretty cool, especially the round ones!!!

We have the older bestway chairs that you can spread out on the floor like a bed or then fold them away like a chair...basically a smaller version of the sofa...but they are not so small to pack..

take care CJ

Having found some sage advice on this forum before I am asking again, this time about inflatable chairs. I realise that, just like the sofas, they are all very low and would have to have cushions put on them in order to make them easier to get up from, but my real predicament is weight. Through one thing and another, the biggest thing being multiple disabilities, it is the weight capacity that is the biggest issue. Other than get a sofa bed, (of which I recommend Intex), there does not seem to be a chair with the weight bearing capacity of 19 stones, my top weight, The nearest is the Vango inflatable chair but having read the many negative reviews on Amazon it is not one I would probably consider. Maybe I am wrong, but any advice on whether or not there is an inflatable chair out there that would do for me would be greatly appreciated.
