Kijaro Coast Reclining Sling Chair Review

Our Verdict: Kijaro Coast Reclining Sling Chair

A low reclining sling chair for the beach and lawn that leans back to multiple positions, comfortable for relaxing but bulky and not a trail chair.

It reclines through several positions and sits low, built for lounging rather than hiking.

So, is it any good?

It typically sells for around 40 to 55 dollars, fair for a multi position reclining sling chair.

You get an adjustable recline, a low relaxed seat, and usually armrests for the money.

For lounging on the beach with the back dropped right down this is exactly what I want, and it sits solidly in the sand. It is bulky to haul and the low seat is a bit of a struggle to climb out of, so it never comes hiking.

What Other Backpacking Chairs Should You Consider?

Not sold on this one? A few others from our testing are worth a look.

The Kijaro Dual Lock Folding Chair is our best high weight capacity chair. A full size camp chair, not a backpacking chair, that trades all portability for a supportive high capacity seat with armrests and cup holders.

The Sportneer 24-inch Extra-Wide Camping Chair is our best camping chair for a bad back. A wide, supportive full size camp chair aimed at people who need back support, not a chair for the trail, but a comfortable one for the campsite.

The Sportneer 3-Height Adjustable Camping Chair is our best adjustable outdoor chair. A full size camp chair whose party trick is three seat heights, useful for matching the seat to the task, though it is still too bulky for the trail.
