At times we find extraordinary products that make travel in Africa easy and convenient. As part of providing helpful information to our readers we wanted to tell you more about a fold up chair we found – the Expander Chair from Front Runner. This chair will be especially handy to the self drive and camping market but it’s also ideal for fishing trips, the beach, sporting events and for outdoor use at home.

Major benefits:
1. Packing size – the Expander Chair reduces to a 1/16 of it’s set up size! This makes it the most compact chair available and we fit 4 chairs where we previous couldn’t pack any chairs due to the odd shapes and folded up size of most camping chairs.
2. Comfort – I was concerned that Front Runner had to compromise on the comfort of the Expander but I was pleasantly surprised on out first trip to find that this camping chair is in fact more comfortable than any other chair we’ve had previously.
3. Superior strength – the parts and joints were designed to strengthen the chair when set up. The clever design provides excellent support and the quality parts will provide years of service.
4. Side pockets – even with the chairs fold up dimensions it still offers a bottle/can holder, media pocket and large pocket for your torch, keys and snacks.
Here’s how it works.
What you’ll need: an Expander Chair, your hands, your feet.
Easy to use and quick to fold up to 1/16 of its full size.
We’ve used the Expander Chairs in the bush, in the mountains and on the beach. As a family we use 4 chairs when we travel and it fits perfectly in the back of the vehicle. If we take the trailer it slides next to the Wolfpack Boxes in the center packing area as if it was designed for that space.
A well-designed product that works!
