Similarly, the Kelty Low Loveseat is comfortable with large padded seats but is much lower to the ground and fits two people instead of just one. Another two-seater, the Mountain Summit Gear Loveseat , isn't padded but still offers decent comfort and a higher seat height that some of our taller testers appreciated.Read T
I love that you don't have two straps because you don't need them. Just one strap. And instead of this being a bag, it not a bag chair, technically, it's a giant wrap around the chair. So you've got these nice clips and buckles here. Three of them around from top to bottom. One, two, three. And obviously when you're putting it together, you can tighten and loosen these as you need to.Watch M
I swear the Kelty Loveseat is the most comfortable camp chair I've ever had. It has a reclined back that you just don't find in most camping chairs. I really love the low-rider as I like being low to the ground when I'm camping. But I have sat in the regular height Loveseat and its just as comfortable.Read E
If you're looking for a camping chair plus one, this is going to be the one. Well, it's called the Kelty Loveseat, this really is just a larger up to two-person uh camp chair. So, you don't have to be sitting with your significant other or with your spouse. Often times I'll have a dog in the other seat beside me, then we can just cuddle up by the camp fire.Watch T

We couldn’t see the point of two-person ‘loveseat’ camping chairs until we tried this model. We’ve been using the low loveseat for more than a year now, and it’s come along on every camping trip and been trotted out for every barbecue in that time. There’s plenty of room for two people, and the wide padded polyester fabric is super comfortable, dries quickly and doesn’t show dirt.Read B
We were also mixed with its overall comfort. It has two distinct seating areas—a necessary design element with such a long camp chair—separated by the frame that supports the chair's middle. Staying close to either end felt fine, but as soon as our tester spread out or scooted toward his partner, he could feel the frame pressing against him.Read B
It’s impressively stable and packs down neatly, making it a practical pick for a duo going car camping or to an outdoor event. It’s not without its flaws: The frame can feel intrusive when you stretch out, and the unstructured back can lead to discomfort over time.Read G
Pros Very comfortable Durable steel frame 2 insulated size-adjustable cup holders Cons Sits low to the ground Poor ventilationRead T
What we liked: Fits two comfortably, easy for young kids to climb up on, fewer items to pack and carryRead S
The Kelty Low Loveseat (right) is on the heavy side, but we love the stability and extra spaceRead O
Our tester’s verdict: “I’ve found this a great option for couples camping or group trips.Read C
Larger packed size and heavy to carryRead
