The chairs are very sturdy. Because of our back issues, my husband and I both use them at the picnic table when necessary, especially when we're at the park when our son's playing baseball. If you're sitting in it, you won't flip backwards; your weight will hold the chair in place comfortably. We've noticed that you might want to position the chair with a bit of the seat area hanging over whatever bench you're sitting on. As for a picnic table, it worked just fine for me. We forgot to take our chairs to a football game recently and were very disappointed not to have them with us!

yes - you're probably right. It doesn't have a hook to latch onto whatever its sitting on. I use it on bleachers at my son's baseball games. If its balanced in the middle of the bench its not a problem, however. I really like it.

don't think you could even get into it on a picnic table. it would fall back.

Oh, yes, it fits a picnic table with plenty of room left over - we put big plastic tubs storing food in it also and can still fit a few camp chairs. We set it up so the picnic table is over to one side. We used ours for 10 days straight and really like it.

I sit on mine (on dirt or bark mulch) all the time and I've never had a problem. It moves around just fine. I don't try to roll all the way across the yard while still on it because I think my weight could cause it to sink it in where the dirt is softer. I love this thing...it's a real back saver, and I like that I can put my tools and extra stuff under the seat, so they're always with me as I move around the yard.

I use my table when I am sitting on the couch. It will swivel, but I am really not sure it should. I have to keep tightening where the pole goes up and down. I know I have tried it for my bed, but it doesn't come up close enough for my liking. Hope this helps!

We bought this for our city versa--it fits the versa and select models. The max weight is 37lbs and the recline goes back quite a bit--not as far as in the stroller frame but decent. The seat does get food on it. Many home tables have a "lip" under the table edge housing leaf storage, etc--this product does not work if your table has such a lip. Works great for restaurant tables or picnic tables since you can leave the sunshade attached.

There are slots for the seat back on either side, so it should work. Be aware that the seat back doesn't "feel" super secure. I mean, it's worked well for my parents but I'd be careful if anyone of any real size intended to fully lean back in it. It works well as support but I don't know just how strong it really is.

Same thing happened to me. I think they changed the manufacturing spec, but not the description. It assembled just fine with slats all the same, and I personally think it looks nicer, much more park bench-y. Dunno if their decision was based on aesthetics or because too many customers couldn't handle the wide/narrow thing and assembled them wrong. The very top slat of course is different, but that's easy to see.

The poles are adjustable both in height and width. It is easy to tilt. Just unscrew to open a bracket and tilt it. Be careful so the wind doesn't catch it! We used a 2X4 small piece of wood underneath the table and underneath the clamp. (We have a plastic picnic table.) If you have a wooden plank picnic table, you can clamp directly onto the boards with no problem.We really like our shade logic canopy. Finally all the family can sit and dine at the picnic table without the sun shining on them.We always lower the canopy when not in use, just to avoid the wind catching it and damaging the metal framework.

No. Sadly that was very similar to my issue and wouldn't clamp for my table. It pretty much has to be a flat surface like pictured or it won't work. If I was in your situation -- I wouldn't buy it. Best of luck though.

I use it over my pool deck, we clamped to a 2x4 running horizontal , it would fit nicely over a standard picnic table.I love mine ,good investment ,you can close it when not in use.Hope this helps,also this would be a great portable for camping...

I used this on a bench and it worked great! It has a type of hook to keep it from moving around on a bench so I do not think it will work on the ground. I don't know what the dimensions are but it is oversized and very very light and easy to carry. I bought a bag also. I have never sat through a game so comfortably!!

Amazon must have a mistake in their records. We did not return the seat. It is, for all practical purposes, the same as we have for a non-folding seat which we have used for several years with not problems. This seat was used for a second weekend home.

The clamps, which are part of the rod that holds the actual cloth shelter up, slide into the ends of the picnic table. There's a screw device that you tighten up to the table. We've had no problems whatsoever, and it's nice because the poles are adjustable to fit any picnic table. We love our shelter & get asked where we bought it, every time we go camping. I hope this helps - it's kind of hard to explain!

I returned it as soon as I got it! It wasn't finished! I wouldn't recommend this seat for anyone. If your not worried about ruinng the seat, you may want to try it. As much as I can remember, it was flat.

Did you ever get any answer to your question - "does the seat recline in the forward facing"? I have the same question and I can't find an exact answer. Since you posted your question in May, I wondered if you might have bought the product by now and perhaps know the answer. Thanks in advance.

Yes.. Pull it backwards and it will go easily... we bought it to use for the beach and we love it!!!!

I think it would work great. Although they didn't fit my dining room table, it was because of the sideboards and the plastic connector on the seat but don't think it would be an issue for a picnic table....and they really are nice seats. Good luck!
