Our test institute subjected the maxVitalis camping chair to a detailed practical test. The versatility of the product was rated positively, as different sitting and reclining positions are possible by removing the foot sections. Despite this positive feature, the chair has a large pack size, which makes it difficult to transport. However, cleaning is easy thanks to the dirt and water-repellent surface. Assembly is quick and uncomplicated thanks to a simple folding mechanism.
In terms of comfort, the camping chair offers a pleasant sitting and reclining experience. The adjustable reclining positions and the option to move or remove the cushion as required contribute to this. Overall, the maxVitalis camping chair meets the requirements for versatility, cleaning, construction and comfort. However, it was found that there is room for improvement in terms of transportation due to the large pack size.
The maxVitalis camping chair therefore offers a good balance between versatility, comfort and ease of cleaning. Despite the transportation issues, it could be a good choice for camping trips and outdoor activities, especially for users who value flexible seating and reclining options.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. In some cases, the fact that it is perceived as too light is criticized. On the other hand, the elegant and functional design as well as the high holding power are positively emphasized. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the door stopper was well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the door stopper’s weight was not justified.
Prices of up to €30.59 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €13.24 . The maxVitalis camping chair is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €17.50. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
