Coleman Rocking Camp Chair

Coleman is a manufacturer of a large selection of camping gear. W.C. Coleman began this company almost 100 years ago when he set out to make camping lanterns. Coleman products have a pristine reputation for products that are long-lasting and durable. The most popular items they sell are tents, sleeping bags, lanterns, camping stoves, and coolers.

Water chairs, deck chairs, and chairs with tables are some of the furniture items that Coleman also manufactures.

The Coleman Rocker Chair

A Coleman rocking camp chair, known as the Coleman Rocker Chair, allows you to rock as you would in a regular rocking chair. This chair includes the following features:

• A frame made of aluminum with gliding rocking motion
• A soft pillow for a headrest and padded armrests
• Water-resistant fabric good for battling unpredictable camping weather
• Durable crossbars for long-lasting quality

This handy chair is also able to fold and fit in your trailer or van for easy transport. Since the chair is compact, it takes up little room in your vehicle or storage shed. The chair comes in a forest green color.

Where to Purchase a Coleman Rocking Camp Chair

Rocking camp chairs are easily transported.

Now that you are aware of the comfort and benefits of a rocking camp chair, where do you go to buy one? The interesting thing is that Coleman's website does not have a rocking chair for sale. These rockers have been discontinued. You will have to check out other online options.

• Shopping Warehouse shows a Coleman rocker for sale, but also states that the rocker is no longer available.
• Low Price 4 U is a certified reseller of the chair. The chair sells at this store for under $30.00.
• Camping Stuff.com sells one for $40.00.

Other Chair Options

Since the Coleman rocker is a little hard to find nowadays, there are other products that offer similar rocking chair characteristics. These include:

• REI has a Byer Penobscot glider chair which is ideal for camping, is made of polyester, comes in blue, and sells for about $45.00. It is easy to fold and store.
• The Bass Pro website shows a steel rocking chair that is made of a tweed material and costs $30.00. It folds easily and comes with a carrying case.

Other Coleman Chairs

If you want a Coleman chair because you are familiar with the brand name, and an owner of other products they manufacture, you may want to purchase a different type of chair from the store. Coleman's website does show a variety of camping chairs, all of them easy to fold, light-weight at under six pounds, sturdy, available in many colors, and extremely comfortable. However, do keep in mind that these are not rocking chairs. Some of these offered at Coleman include:

• Portable Deck Chair (comes in blue, charcoal, and red)
• Highback Sling Chair
• Woodsman Chair
• Marine Deck Chair (this one comes with a table)

For those who don't mind a heavier chair, check out the Oversize Quad Chair. Although the weight is ten pounds, this gold or blue chair comes with a cooler and adjustable armrests. You can't beat the convenience of those features!

For the children in your family, consider the solar glow pattern of the Youth Quad Chair. This chair is smaller than most at 24 inches wide by 14 inches deep and 26 inches tall. With a total weight of only 3.75 pounds, this chair comes with a cup holder and a carry case.

Take Your Rocking Chair Outdoors

At the Coleman website, you may also select the state in which you want to camp and find the major recreational parks open to visitors there. Take your camping chair along so that you can glide under the stars as you listen to the bullfrogs and crickets in the summer.

For protection, sit under your camp tarp, where you can enjoy rocking back and forth even in rainy or damp weather. The rocking chair can also be handy at the lake and, if it is not too sandy, it can be placed along the coast so that you can read, watch the waves, and get a nice sun tan as you rock. You may even want to purchase a chair for each member of your family.
