Default Best folding chairs for vert trunk

Need to fit two folding chairs in trunk. Something that folds flat. I would like to be able to slide them under the partition so we can still put top down and have room for couple overnight bags and etc. Have any suggestions? Thank you!

Do a search in the C8 General section. I remember a thread not long ago that had some suggestions on some very compact chairs that fit in the trunk of the C8. Should work well in a C7.

PICO Arm Chairs. They fold up flat. That is what I use in my C5. They are not cheap but worth the money and they are guaranteed for life.

I have a 2019 vert. I also own a couple of those comfortable camp type chairs with the folding shelf on one side and the bag on the other arm. Even one of those will not slide under the top storage area. Almost but not quite for one and no chance for two unless you put the partition down. If going on a trip, we will drop the partition and leave the top up until we reach our destination. The two chairs will then fit underneath everything else. Bag chairs fit but suck to sit in.

I was going to buy the Pico folding chairs until I found these on Amazon. They fold just as flat, and are much cheaper than the Pico chairs. They fit in my C7 easily.

Busted one of our older bag chairs last night. I thought my **** was getting smaller!!

Any other suggestions for a chair you could sit in comfortably for a few hours??

Pico telescoping camp chairs. Bought them when I had my C5 vert. They folded up and fit under the convertible top with the top down. Comfortable too.

Another vote for the Pico folding chairs. Bought a pair for our trip to Carlisle and back. Fit in the rear cargo area with no problem.

We've had Pico chairs for several years, find them to fold flat, are durable and comfortable.
Unless we need to carry them by hand and sling them over our shoulders, we leave the carry bags at home. But the chairs are rather heavy if you need to carry them far.

I also bought the PICO chairs after a time and really like them. Highly recommended. Two of them will fit in the vert trunk. Don't recall if one will slide under the partition but I know 2 will not.Two will stack easily in the open area behind the partition.

you have about 3.5 - 4" max under the partition, not much room for a chair. The iChair mentioned is 5.9" folded flat.
