If you camp with kids, you know the struggle: they want their own gear, their own seat, and definitely their own cup holder.
The Mountain Summit Gear Kids’ Camp Chair delivers all that — and somehow makes it fun, sturdy, and safe without costing a fortune.
We picked one up for $25 at REI.com, for our little guy, and after plenty of backyard tests, beach trips, and snack breaks, it’s clear this chair deserves a spot at camp.

Why it’s a winner:
- Perfect toddler size: Low to the ground (seat height around 10"), stable enough for enthusiastic climbers.
- Tough build: Steel frame holds up to 225 lbs — more than enough for wild wiggles and occasional big kid use.
- Quick setup: Unfold, click the safety lock, done. Packs down small with a built-in carry strap.
- Kid-approved design: The pixel-style fox on the back is a major hit and gets kids excited to use it.
- Cup holder: Big enough for a sippy cup, snack, or a treasured rock collection.
Things to know:
- The safety lock is essential: Make sure it’s engaged every time to avoid accidental collapses (it's a bit stiff at first, but loosens up).
- Lightweight but not toddler-carryable: At around 4 lbs, it’s easy for adults to carry with the attached strap, but probably too heavy for the littlest campers.
- No carry bag: Honestly, the built-in strap makes a bag feel unnecessary, but some parents might miss having one.
Final thoughts:
The Mountain Summit Gear Kids’ Camp Chair is sturdy, fun, and practical — everything a good piece of kids’ gear should be.
Whether you’re headed to the campsite, beach, or backyard BBQ, it’s a simple way to give your little one a seat of their own.
At $25 from REI, it’s a great value for something that’ll last through years of adventures, juice spills, and snack breaks. Just don’t forget to lock it before they jump in.
