The Best Travel Chairs, Ever.

{  Strongback Chairs  }
I am a bit of an accidental travel chair connoisseur. Growing up in Oregon, the camp-ability of pretty much any personal belonging basically gaged its overall value. We Oregonians love to rough it and we love our gear. Needless to say, I am a seasoned judge of travel gear. When I moved to the city, bizarrely enough, I had never owned a travel chair (or an umbrella – those are for wimps right? I am still not sold on those). Such luxuries were new ideas to me. Traveling with Miles to agility events, I soon discovered that having a travel chair for me would be as critical as a decent dog gear was for him. As we wandered city alleyways, I began to notice a wealth of discarded brand-new travel chairs. Soon I had quite the collection of chairs of all makes and models. You would think I’d be satisfied when it came to travel chairs… But no. None were comfortable. No wonder people tossed them out.
In agility, you are typically doing a lot of traveling, running on little to no sleep, then you have these brief moments of intense physical exertion, and then, a LOT of downtime. When I heard about Strongback chairs, I was intrigued. These are the first travel chairs completely designed with proper back support in mind. Me and Miles’ upcoming trip to Nationals sealed the deal — I factored these new chairs in as the main trip indulgence (It was our first vacation in two years, after all!). When my brand new Elite and Zen chairs arrived, it was love at first sit-down. I decided to bring my new green Elite chair with us to Nationals. It was worth paying the extra luggage fee. The only downside was that once we got to Nationals, I had to guard the chair from other peoples’ weary bums.

and I aren’t away travelling, our Strongbacks stay next to our fireplace. Yes, indoors.  }
