127 customers mention109 positive18 negative

Customers like the value of the vehicle seat. For example, they mention it's light weight, comfortable, and adjustable. Some say the added weight is bad when paddling or portaging. That said, most say it'll be easy to carry, attach to the canoe, and pack around. Customers also say that it'd be adequate for a two-day run at least.

"...One surprise is how relatively light it is. Not too bad for portaging, well worth the little extra weight." Read more

Customers like the back support of the canoe seat. For example, they say it provides decent support, comfort, and relief from back strain. Some mention that it helps alleviate lower back pain from sitting in a cano.

"...The only gripe I had with it, is while it does support you pretty well, and it is relatively sturdy, its definitely not fully-rigid...." Read more

"...Here's why:1. It's comfortable. Just the right amount of cushioning on the seat, and good lumbar support for your back.2. It's strong...." Read more

"...much better than sitting on cold aluminum and the back rest does provide some amount of support." Read more

"Great value for price and decent support. But when used in back seat of canoe, the fabric cover wears holes where it covers the side tube." Read more

135 customers mention75 positive60 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the vehicle seat. Some mention that it's easy to adjust for their preferred seating angle, and the back strap provides good support. However, others say that it may not fit some oversized canoe seats, is much too wide to fit in the rear seat, and has too short straps.

"...close.The seats fit well in both my smaller 12 ft canoe with bench seats and the 16 ft wenonah that we rented with canvas webbed seats...." Read more

"This is a wide seat and it just barely fit in my stern between the gunwales, which chaffed and tore the fabric, so measure the space...." Read more

"...The recline feature is decent, there is a lot of adjustability...." Read more

"...on using this with an aluminum Grumman 17' Double Ender, it will not fit on the backseat, only the front. The back is too narrow for the hinges." Read more

57 customers mention38 positive19 negative

Customers are mixed about the stability of the vehicle seat. Some mention that it stayed secure to the canoe seat and gave them some back rest when they needed it. They say the seat straps firmly to the boat and does not need to be removed on portages. However, others say that the webbing straps these seats tend to slide back with use and must be adjusted at least.

"...The strap seemed to hold up well and the chair was well anchored to the canoe bench, the pads were cushiony and I made use of the pocket in the back...." Read more

"...cushion makes it more adaptable and comfortable, but creates a compromise in stability, as the two bottom rods..." Read more

"...Also has a strap to hold it flat when you transport it...." Read more

"...If anything those straps are overkill. They never loosened from the seat while I was using it...." Read more

54 customers mention3 positive51 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the vehicle seat. They mention that the material ripped on both sides, the seam split after just 3 days on the water, and the seat pads were splitting. The rubbing eventually tears the material.

"...it just barely fit in my stern between the gunwales, which chaffed and tore the fabric, so measure the space. Minimum gap is 16 inches...." Read more

"...1 of the seat bottoms had about an inch of a seam that was not completely sewed and had threads hanging on multiple areas of the seats...." Read more

"...However, the torque on the seat from leaning back ripped apart the aluminum hangers. Will need to fabricate replacements. Use with caution." Read more

"...with the product is that the material along the frame of the back began to tear during the trip...." Read more

My wife loves this on our canoe
5 Stars
My wife loves this on our canoe
I purchased two of these and then didn't canoe for a few months. This fit easily on the front bench for my wife. We have a Wenonah Adirondack canoe, and when I went to add the second one in the back of the canoe, the back rest didn't work due to the width of the canoe behind the seat. I ended up adding a different back rest that Wenonah sold. But my wife loves her cushy queen seat up front.
