Mountain Summit Gear Kids’ Camp Chair Review (by Seb, age almost 2)

Hi, I’m Seb! I’m nearly two and I LOVE my fox camping chair (grown ups and people who care about SEO call it Mountain Summit Gear Kids’ Camp Chair). It’s my very own seat for camping, snacking, and chillin’ in the backyard.

I hop on and off it all the time while I learn to sit like a big kid. And guess what? It has a fox on it, my favorite animal! 🦊 Here’s what I think about it (with a little help from Dad).

Key specs (for grown-ups)

• Price: $25 at REI.com
• Weight capacity: 225 lbs (102 kg)
• Chair weight: roughly 4 lbs (1.8 kg)
• Seat height: 10 inches
• Recommended age: 3–10 years (I’m nearly 2 and use it safely with supervision)
• Frame: steel
• Fabric: Durable 600 x 300-denier PE polyester
• Features: Safety lock, mesh cup holder, built-in strap with buckle, armrests, ownership label tag

How it performs

Setup & safety

It folds out just like grown-up camping chairs. My parents love how fast it sets up—just unfold and click the safety lock into place.

The lock is very important to stop it collapsing while I’m climbing in. It’s a bit stiff at first but easier with practice.

To pack it away, they unlock it and fold it up. The built-in strap keeps it closed and easy to carry. No need for a carry bag!

Stability

I’ve climbed in from the front, side (when dad supports it to stop it tipping), even halfway while holding a toy, and the chair stays solid. It works best on flat surfaces like grass, dirt, or patios. The wide feet help with balance.

Comfort

It has just enough give in the seat fabric to be comfy without sagging.

The backrest is high enough to support my back, and the armrests are soft and just right for my elbows. I can sit upright and eat snacks or listen to stories without sliding off.

Durability

This chair is built tough. We’ve used it alot in our yard, and at the beach once. It’s had juice spills, cookie crumbs, and dirt wiped off easily.

The steel frame hasn’t bent or chipped, and the fox print is still bright.

The polyester fabric dries fast and wipes clean with a cloth. It doesn’t show dirt easily (important for messy toddlers like me).

Portability

It folds down small enough to fit in our car or stroller. At 4 lbs, it’s light for my parents to carry.

I try dragging it around the yard, but I mostly let Dad carry it on adventures.

The carry strap is secure, and there’s a little buckle to keep it shut when folded. Big kids (like age 5+) could probably carry it themselves.

Kid appeal

Let’s be honest, I probably wouldn’t care about this chair if it weren’t for the FOX on the back!

The pixel-style fox makes it feel like it’s made just for me. My friends all want a turn in the “fox chair.”

Having a fun design helps kids want to sit in their own seat. And the cup holder is a game changer for independence – I get to keep my water bottle next to me, just like Mom and Dad.

What parents should know

• Use the safety lock every time. Seriously. It’s the one thing that ensures your kid won’t have the chair fold up on them.
• Supervision is important if your kid is under the recommended age. I’m almost 2 and use it happily, but someone always checks the lock first.
• This chair grows with your child. Toddlers can use it with help, and older kids (up to 10) will still fit comfortably.

Final thoughts

The Mountain Summit Gear Kids’ Camp Chair is a big win for little adventurers. It’s comfy, cute, safe, and lets me join in all the camping and chilling with my own seat. My parents say it’s great value and well-built. I just know it makes me happy!

If you’re a parent looking for a solid little camp chair that your kid will love and use for years, this is a great pick. Just don’t forget to lock it before they hop in! You can pick one up for only $25 at REI.com – link below:

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Awesome fox design: I shout “FOX!” every time I see it. It’s super fun and makes me excited to sit.
• Perfect size for toddlers: The seat is low (about 11 inches off the ground) and easy for me to climb in and out of on my own.
• Very sturdy: The steel frame feels strong even when I wriggle. It holds up to 125 lbs so even my big cousin can sit in it.
• Cup holder for my water: I LOVE putting my water cup (or snack or toy) in the mesh holder.
• Built-in carry strap: No bag needed—Daddy just slings it over his shoulder.

Cons:

• Parents must lock it: There’s a safety lock that stops it folding up, but it needs a grown-up to do it properly.
• A bit heavy for me: It weighs ~4 lbs, which is light for grown-ups but too heavy for me to carry far.
• No carry bag: Not a problem for us, but some parents might prefer having one.
