When choosing a kids camping chair, start with your child’s age, height and how the chair will be used. A younger child may need a lower, supportive seat with stable construction, while an older child may enjoy armrests, a footrest and a cup holder for drinks or snacks. The Outwell Catamarca Junior is designed as a proper junior camping chair, not simply a smaller adult seat. It has a powder coated steel frame, recycled embossed polyester fabric and a maximum load of 50 kg. It also folds quickly with no assembly, so you can set it up beside the tent, at the dining area or in the garden without fuss. For parents, the carrybag and slim pack size make it easier to bring along on family camping trips where space and time both matter.
A toddler camping chair should be chosen with extra care, because comfort is only one part of the decision. Look for a stable frame, supportive seating, an appropriate height and features that reduce tipping risk. If you are searching for a baby camping chair, always consider whether your child can sit safely and independently, and check the product details carefully before use. A chair for older toddlers and young children should make sitting feel natural, with enough support at the sides and a secure place for feet. The Catamarca Junior is made for junior campers, so it suits children who are ready for their own outdoor seat. Always supervise children around camping furniture, especially during mealtimes, when climbing in and out of chairs is common.
Children’s camping chairs should be easy for adults to pack and simple to set up when everyone arrives tired or hungry. A chair that opens quickly, folds down neatly and needs no assembly can make a real difference during busy family trips. The Catamarca Junior has a pack size of 12 x 12 x 88 cm and comes with a carrybag, so it can be stored with other camping furniture and carried from the vehicle to the pitch. If you need extra flexible seating for short trips, picnics or limited storage space, a small camping chair can also be practical. Compact chairs are useful when you want seating that moves easily between the tent, dining area, play space and days out.
A child camping chair works well when it forms part of a comfortable family seating area. Young campers often want to sit close to adults during meals, games or evening conversations, so it helps to plan your layout rather than placing their chair as an afterthought. Pairing a junior chair with adult options from the Catamarca range creates a familiar setup for everyone. The Catamarca offers a cup holder, wide adjustable armrests and quick folding, while the Catamarca XL gives adults extra room and two cup holders. You can also add a lightweight stool or mini table, such as Baffin, for snacks, drawing or games. To complete the seating area, explore our full range of camping chairs for adults, older children and guests.
The Catamarca Junior is a strong choice if you want a children’s camping chair with comfort features that feel useful in real campsite life. The adjustable footrest has two heights, helping the chair suit growing children and making it easier for them to settle in for meals, reading or quiet time. Wide adjustable armrests add support, while the built-in cup holder gives drinks a secure place during relaxed moments around camp. The tilt-prevention frame is an important detail, as children often move, lean and shift position more than adults. With a size of 64 x 53 x 80 cm and a weight of 3.4 kg, it feels substantial without being awkward to handle. It folds in seconds, needs no assembly and fits into its carrybag, which helps keep packing simple.
Kids camping chairs are not only useful on camping holidays. They can also come with you to the garden, family picnics, outdoor events and relaxed days by the coast. A chair that folds fast and travels in a carrybag is easy to keep ready for weekends and school holidays. For sandy ground or casual seating, a low floor-style chair such as Cardiel can be a handy alternative for older children and adults, with a light 0.8 kg design, carry strap and quick folding frame. Easy-clean lower chairs such as Sauntons can also suit laid-back family use. If your plans often include time by the sea, you may want to add a casual beach chair for relaxed summer seating alongside your child’s chair.
