Will this fit in the bottom of a canoe? A third person passenger has to sit in the bottom of our canoe and lean back against the wooden thwart, which is very uncomfortable. I'm thinking this seat could solve that problem. Will it?

If you think your canoe is big enough to fit a seat then you should have no problem with this one , it is not that big, think about a classroom chair and it's about the same thing

This could sit on anything. There is nothing to attach on the bottom. It would probably work great for the kayak. Or a canoe or rowboat or picnic table. Anyplace you want to sit that doesn't have a back would be a good place for this seat.

Post a picture of your toilet. We are in a rental and the toilets are so low. I have a bad back. This seat was a lifesaver for us and so great the toilet seat sits on top and you can close the lid.

Not sure, it's worked well for us, but I'm like 130 and my husband is 160. I bet it would for an occasional canoe trip. It's not an expensive seat, so it'll prob last a little while.

It might, but the weight of the canoe may eventually compromise the material. Also it may peel away from weather. Might be worth a try though.

I wouldn't say it's good to sit on unless you have a child size bottom. :) it's perfect for a head rest and only a couple inches thick. It does have good suction and grip so it would keep you from slipping on the seat. Two would work maybe.

no, I don't think so. the chir has a clamp that, when put on the chair, clamps to a square jon boat seat. The chair clamp would not work on a canoe without a lot of alteration, and the chair without the clamp on it would be on the canoe bottom, so the person sitting would be on the floor level anyway.

I've found that the boat is extremely difficult to use with a motor. The motor I bought did not stay on the mounting kit very well. I had to modify the kit to keep the motor from slipping off. Also, the battery for the motor is extremely heavy for an inflatable boat and adds to the awkwardness. To operate the motor, the driver, the battery, and the motor are all in the stern. It is not very comfortable to sit there. In hindsight, I would have been better to get a small aluminum or fiberglass boat to attach the motor to.

If the water is shallow enough to touch the bottom while paddling, you will probably lose your skeg. You can't navigate well without the skeg, so be very cautious in shallows and in water in which there are downed trees.

I am not the one who uses this, but my stepson says it works great for his kayak. To specifically answer your question, here is what another reviewer said on Amazon, "I was a little concerned this would only work on a very small kayak but it works well on my wide 15' canoe. The tires do not take air since they are solid now so time will tell if they hold up but at least you don't need to worry about a flat." I am a mechanical engineer so based on my assessment you should have no issues with a canoe. The kayak/canoe just sit on the cart and you pull it by the front of the kayak/canoe. Wheels come off easily and folds easily for storage during your time on the water. It's a nice design. I am not the one who uses this, but my stepson says it works great for his kayak.

If you want the chair to lower and you are short, you might ask a heavier & taller friend to sit in the chair to lower it.I had too. I couldn't reach the paddle and sit at the same time and I am only 5'1".

It may be comfortable depending on the person but I had many problems trying to find a comfy bike seat for a regular bike due to the need for hip replacement surgery. I had a lot of pain due to hip problems, not the seat. Trying to find a comfy seat, someone suggested a recumbent trike, where you are seated like normal, sitting down with your butt fully supported, as in a chair. After surgery I tried riding my regular bike but still found it uncomfortable, so I am sticking with my trike. I also have found that riding my horse in a saddle, even though I am upright as on a bike, does not hurt either due to full support of my butt and thighs in the saddle. I tried the Serfas Super Cruiser before surgery but since I was hurting anyway, I sent it back. Here is what I found about most bike seats. They try to pad the seat for comfort but end up working against the shape of the butt which rounds outward. To see what I am trying to say...imaging pushing two fully inflated balloons together. Bike seat makers add padding but the padding juts outward, opposite on the shape of a butt. So instead of feeling comfy, a butt is pushing against the opposite shape that it really is. If they could design a bike seat more to the shape of a horse saddle or even a tractor seat, I think more people with physical size challenges would ride bikes....but if not, try a trike.

In a manner of speaking. The seats have an adjustable back rest and do in fact Velcro to the where they are positioned in the canoe. There is a small, square inflatable spot under each seat that is attached to the canoe. For what it's worth... my wife sometimes has back issues and she's never had a problem with the seats on this canoe- she says they're quite comfortable.

It might work, but I wouldn't recommend it. The canoe height (when on water) is much greater than a kayak and therefore it would overhang the base of the rack significantly. You would probably also need longer straps to go around a canoe instead of a kayak. I'd recommend the Thule canoe rack (http://www.amazon.com/Thule-579XT-Canoe-Mount-Carrier/dp/B0001HAC4Q) or just foam blocks. A Thule saddle carrier might also be a good option if you want one rack to carry a canoe or kayak.

not comfortably i think. they sell a "longboard" version that attaches to seat post and rear rack assembly. better to go w this option.this smaller version is only connected to the seat post and intended for shorter boards. too wably for the smaller boards i say

I can't say for certain, as I am fairly tall, but I believe a shorter person might have trouble. The back section is quite long, and even on me it would bunch up and get uncomfortable. But maybe that would not be the case with a shorter person? I'm sorry, that wasn't much help :/

You can put one or two seats "anywhere" inside the kayak. I actually took one seat and turned it around when I go out paddling by myself, to use as additional backrest to my seat, although it's not necessary. You wont be disappointed.
