Scary Mommy 2025 Readers' Choice Awards

I don’t know about you, but I spend a LOT of time sitting and watching my kids do all sorts of things. And, especially as you age, you do not want to be uncomfortable while doing it, believe me. These featured brands offer stylish support so you can relax at the ball field, or while making smores, or whatever, happily and comfortably for years to come.

Scary Mommy’s readers have spoken! Congratulations to our top "Go Everywhere" Chair Brands!

1. Sunflow

What Scary Mommy readers love about Sunflow:

  • Hands-down the most aesthetically pleasing chair on the beach, featuring chic, trendy patterns that’ve instantly elevated my outdoor setup.
  • Setup and breakdown are ridiculously easy. ♥️ the smart modular add-ons, which make outdoor lounging hassle-free.
  • Unbeatable comfort and portability make it my go-to for relaxing poolside, tailgating, or watching my daughters play soccer.

2. PARKIT Co.

What Scary Mommy readers love about PARKIT Co.:

  • The backpack straps and detachable cooler make hands-free carrying effortless—an absolute necessity for packed beach bags and chaotic park outings with kids!
  • It sits higher off the ground than typical beach chairs, making it way easier to stand up without wrecking my knees or neck.
  • Mine is built like a tank with cute retro patterns and has easily survived years of family adventures without rusting, sagging, or falling apart. 💯

3. Nemo Equipment

What Scary Mommy readers love about Nemo Equipment:

  • The smooth swinging and reclining motion is a certified nap-maker—and absolute magic for gently rocking tired kiddos to sleep anywhere.
  • We have a few Stargaze chairs, and they are the ultimate sitting experience. They are outrageously comfortable and I’ve enjoyed more than one snooze in mine! 🌟
  • Skip the cheap knockoffs—these are THE durable OG chairs, and their support team actually takes care of you if anything ever goes wrong.
