<p>We enjoy outdoor summer concerts, but as I age, I find that I enjoy our seats less and less. Any recommendations for lightweight, portable chairs that don’t require unfolding the body from a yoga pose in order to get out of them?</p>
<p>As eager as you are, stradmom, for suggestions, but, I must say that it’s good to know that others are finding it just a bit difficult to reach a standing position from those low beach-type chairs! I’ve got 911 on speed dial…</p>
<p>What about the inexpensive folding camp chairs that are available at sporting good stores, drugstores, Bed Bath and Beyond, and grocery stores? My favorite is the one with the sun-canopy, as I burn easily.</p>
<p>From amazon.com, search for: camp chair</p>
<p>You know, I look at those folks who bring tables with tablecloths and candelabras and beautiful gourmet picnics to these events and I can’t help thinking…I need servants! Then I could buy the really expensive chairs and the hired help could carry them in for us.</p>

<p>Some of the upper scale camping stores and such have some wonderful chairs designed for camping that might fit the bill, and places like sharper image and the like used to have some things like that…or check out LL Bean and see what they have.</p>
