Product Summary

It’s perfect for days out or holiday use, and comes with its own travel bag that will even fit in the overhead bin on a plane.

The best possible comfort on the go

There’s a common misconception that portable folding chairs come with compromises on comfort. The Fold and Go proves that this isn't the case. The vinyl seat is both practical and comfy, providing just the right amount of support. You can also adjust both the footrests and the well-padded armrests to your exact requirements. This is a chair you’ll be happy to spend time in at your destination.

Versatile performer indoors and out

With its 8-inch wheels running solid, puncture-proof tyres, the Fold and Go is a chair you can feel confident about using outside and it will cope with most surfaces and terrains. But it is also a great performer indoors. The 56cm (22”) width makes it perfect for manoeuvring in tight spots, and if you are out on the tourist trail, you’ll be able to browse the shelves in the gift shops at your leisure.

Putting safety first on every trip

The Fold and Go’s light carry weight and portability do not mean it is any less safe, secure or stable than other chairs. The aluminium frame gives robust support, while height-adjustable leg rests can be swung clear of the chair to allow easier and safer access when sitting down or getting up. Parking brakes on the rear wheels provide additional peace of mind, keeping the chair still and steady when necessary.
