Is this the right budget camping chair for you?

Choose the Malibu if a padded seat, padded backrest and cup holder are priorities. It is an alternative to selecting an unpadded chair purely for the lowest purchase price. We describe it as a budget-friendly option, not a claim that it is the cheapest chair anywhere.

For Cornwall campsite breaks or wider UK touring, compare the 89cm packed length with your car boot or caravan locker, including the storage opening. At 3kg, consider how far you will carry it rather than assuming every folding chair suits a long walk to a festival pitch.

Seat height, seat width and full open dimensions are not confirmed in the checked product information. Ask World of Camping to check those measurements if seating fit, ease of getting up or matching a table is important. Do not assume another Vango model's dimensions apply.

Browse the camping chair collection for alternative shapes and capacities. If you need a surface for drinks and snacks, compare the options in our budget Royal camping table guide, checking table and chair compatibility rather than assuming a perfect match.

Use and care

Fully unfold the chair and use it on suitable firm, level ground, following Vango's supplied instructions. Stay within the 120kg maximum load and keep the chair away from flames, sparks and other heat sources.

Outdoor use does not establish permanent all-weather suitability. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning and storage guidance and dry the chair before packing it away.
