How much does it weigh & what are its measurements?

Playamigo is a lightweight portable chair that weighs under 5 pounds (under 2.27 kg) including the frame, shell, strap and mat. Playamigo is 17” tall, 18” wide and 10” deep (43.2 cm x 45.7 cm x 25.4 cm).

Is it comfortable to carry?

At less than 5 pounds, Playamigo is very lightweight, and its streamlined size means it’s not bulky. Its wide, cushioned strap is designed to be very comfortable to carry.

Is it comfortable to sit on?

Please note Playamigo’s interior frame is not padded, and the outer shell is not upholstered, so it’s not a cushy chair you sit on. Its shape and frame create a wedge to prop you up in one of three different positions depending on your activity and your mood. Think of Playamigo as a friend you can lean on. The onboard sitting mat provides ground cover and prevents the Playamigo from sliding when in the upright position. If you need more padding, there's plenty of room inside to carry a cushion!

Is it waterproof or rust proof?

Playamigo isn’t totally waterproof, but its fabric is water-resistant. So it’s fine to have it at a beach, lake or a pool, but don’t take it swimming. If it gets really wet, empty out all the contents and pull out the mat. Dry the inside as thoroughly as possible with a towel, then set in a warm, dry spot and wait for it to dry out. Re-insert the mat into the pocket after it’s dry. The frame has a rust-resistant coating that helps prevent rust, but it’s not 100% rust proof. Playamigo isn’t made to be kept outdoors or in damp areas for the long term. Treat it as you would treat any valued piece of outdoor equipment. With proper care, it will serve you for years!

Will it fade in the sun?

Nope. Playamigo’s durable fabric is naturally resistant to the sun’s rays. It should keep its vibrant color for years to come.

Will it hold a laptop?

You bet! The slim, padded sleeve on the back of Playamigo is a great spot to slide in a laptop, tablet or reading material. However, bear in mind, Playamigo was designed to be a beach chair backpack, not a protective case for your electronics or other valuables, so please take proper care when transporting your things!

Can it be used as a cooler?

No, sorry. Playamigo isn’t designed to keep food or beverages cool. However, the large interior storage space has plenty of room to place a small insulated cooler, so you don’t have to carry one separately!

How do I clean it?

We recommend spot cleaning Playamigo with a damp cloth and a small amount of a mild detergent, then let air dry. The sitting mat is removable to allow you to easily shake off sand, grass or other debris that might stick to it in use. We also recommend spot cleaning the mat as necessary.

Is the mat cushioned?

The mat has a small amount of padding sewn in, but it isn’t a cushion. Its primary function is to serve as ground cover and a way to keep Playamigo in place when used in the upright position. If you’re using Playamigo in a spot where your bum needs a bit more cushion, you can fold the mat into thirds to create more padding, and of course there’s room inside to pack a separate cushion along with you if you like.

Where is Playamigo made?

The idea for Playamigo was conceived in Mexico when the creator couldn’t find a simple, stylish, lightweight beach chair with backpack straps. It was designed in the USA, and it is manufactured in Shenzhen, China. Our designer highly recommended this manufacturer because they have the sophisticated equipment necessary to build this type of gear, ready access to the many materials required, and a skilled workforce to produce the high quality we expect.

My idea for Playamigo was born soon after I moved near a beach. I got sick of hauling heavy/cumbersome/poorly made chairs to the shore along with a tote for all my stuff. I wanted a combination beach chair/beach bag that would be just one thing I needed to carry. Despite an extensive search online, I couldn't find anything that suited me, so I started sketching what I wished I could find.

 I couldn't get the idea out of my mind. Eventually, I built a prototype out of cardboard, fabric, and duct tape. I started investigating what it would take to bring the idea to life as a real product, and now, after more than two years and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Playamigo is out in the world! My hope is that Playamigo makes it easier and more convenient for people to enjoy great times outdoors!
