Aldi's Bringing Back 'the Best Chairs' for Summer, and They're So Easy to Take on the Go
There's something about summer officially starting that feels like a cue to head to the beach and pool as soon as possible. Depending on where you live, it might already seem like the season kicked off weeks ago thanks to hot summer-like temperatures and longer (and brighter) days. But, with the school year wrapping up and the whirlwind of spring winding down for good, lots of people are welcoming the first day of summer to finally sit back and recharge.
That said, there are some essentials you can't enjoy this time of year without. There are the little things like sunscreen and sunglasses, and then there are the bigger must-haves like beach towels, a good picnic blanket and, of course, a go-to lounge chair.
Personally, I'm of the belief that summer should always be as easygoing as possible-not just in your plans, but in the things you reach for all the time. And nothing fits that description quite like the convenience of Aldi's beloved backpack chairs, which are, fortunately, coming back to stores just as summer gets underway.
Crane Backpack Chair, $39.99 at Aldi
Aldi's Crane Backpack Chairs are the type of find you'll thank yourself for heading to the store early to get, especially with how useful it is to have on countless summer adventures. Whether you're heading to the beach or going camping, carrying it around is a breeze thanks to integrated backpack straps. In other words, just slip its straps over your shoulders and enjoy the extra ease of freeing up your hands to carry a cooler, an umbrella and anything else without lugging your chair along.

Once it's set up in the park or on the sand, relaxing is even simpler. With an adjustable backrest, attached pillow, handy cup holders and an included cooler bag, you're basically set for instant comfort wherever you go. With all its pros and the amount of use you're bound to get out of it, it's well worth the $39.99 price.
This time around, shoppers can snag it in mint green or light cream. Fair warning, with how much people have adored it in the past, it's about to fly off of shelves. Like one shopper, who raved about its quality and reliability: "These are the best chairs! I have one from a few years ago and it is still great!" they wrote.
Our suggestion? Mark your calendar for June 24, and pick one up before they're gone!
