Ultra compact camping chairs

Is there any such thing as ultra compact camping chairs? I’m looking for something that would give be a bit of support while breastfeeding at picnics and on the beach (not for actual camping) as I can’t get comfortable sitting on the ground. Ideally small enough to put under the buggy but not sure if this is realistic.

We find these to be compact enough to easily carry to the beach. www.decathlon.co.uk/p/mp/folding-camping-chair-lightweight-portable-outdoor-garden-beach-seat-trail/bc18758e-f1ae-4c7a-9da7-0701b3daec66/c5

Does it need to have a back or would a folding stool work?
Or fishing chairs fold up small dont they?

Yes, it’s back support I’m after. I suffer with shoulder pain and find it hard to get a comfy feeding position on the ground. I have never really found it comfy sitting on the ground for some reason but can manage when I’m not feeding a baby.

I bought an Ozzy Gear chair recently. Not cheap but 100% worth it. Very impressed. It was the most popular chair at the Scout Camp last weekend!

The original of the small folding is by helinox I think .. have 2 copies which are very small to pack .. took train camping but for shoulder support suggest you look for the tall version.. slightly trickier to assemble..but not much .. looks like Vango do one .. or the original is the sunset version..the smaller is a bit more sink into .

We bought the decathlon one for exactly this. I got two pram hooks which Velcro to the handle of the pram and hang it across that which works pretty well. It does also go in the basket but obviously sticks out a bit.

I have a Helinox high back and it is really comfortable and easy to set up and collapse. I do have a mountain warehouse one that I bought when I first wanted an ultra compact chair, but I just don’t find it comfy without a head rest

I got a great one from Decathlon for about £30 last year.
