One review says that you can close the canopy over the chair, and carry with a strap without using a separate carrying bag. Is this accurate?

And it's difficult to force into bag that comes with it. Otherwise, the chair serves its purpose.

There are 2 small straps that are connected to the seat of the chair. When closed you can carry it by these 2 straps but it is very uncomfortable and will hurt your hand. It is not well thought out and I can guarantee you will not be happy with it.

no, that is not how they work. the shade does not wrap around the chair when closed. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my chairs. great quality.

Not really. You could put a belt through the straps for the handle, but I'm not sure how comfortable that would be. I use the shoulder strap so it doesn't bang against my leg or pull my pants down. It is also easier to swing it out of my way then.

Hi, Robin ... for give the delay in response. I have been away from my email. I found this item to be easy to carry and very easy to unfold. I could imagine it being very useful as temporary seating during a visit. It is not designed for comfort, but for portability and durability. Nonetheless, we found it stable and accommodating for people of different sizes while on various outdoor treks. I hope you find this response helpful.

My recollection is there is a storage bag with a carrying strap. I've been using this is lightweight easy to move furniture in my sunroom. I've very pleased with how it's been holding up.

It looks like the photo. The chair folds into the center and it goes inside the carry bag with a convenient shoulder carry strap. Very easy to transport! Thanks, RichardRichard

The chair folds easily and fairly flat. Not too heavy, it is easy to transport. Properly wrapped or bagged it should safely go as checked baggage but the airline will have to tell you if they'll accept it in the passenger compartment.

Mine came with a bag to put it into, but it's pretty easy to carry without it when it's folded up and the straps are clipped together.

Yes it does come with a carrying bag and it is quite easy to carry. I am a grandmother who attends quite a few soccer games and this canopy has been great! Easy to transport and set up.

I just folded my canopy up since it's not needed with this on it. I had the Chicco seat and experienced no issues.

The straps/netting are used to hold the chairs together... One "basket" type thing at the top of the chairs and the other at the bottom, then clip together. There's a handle/arm sling to then carry them. Took me a minute to figure out, but works well! Would be nice if the told what they were for and how to use it from the get go, though!

Yes, you can close the canopy from the stroller and you can also use the canopy from the carseat as well.

Yes, you can disconnect a support strap and close your trunk no problem. You can even zip the tent closed while attached to the car.

Too heavy to strap to your backpack for hiking any long distance but no problem throwing over your shoulder to carry down to the beach. I usually carry two over my shoulder along with a cooler, beach bag and snorkel stuff and the chairs are the easiest part of the load because of the padded straps. If you are only carrying one chair over your shoulder it is a breeze.

Yes, very easily. I've seen most chairs have all those belts that you buckle in the sealing and they usually hang around, this chair has a pouch for them, making the moves easier and you don't have all those belts laying around when you're not using them. Also, it's heavy enough to make me feel comfortable, yet light enough to move it. Hope this helps!

Mine has two straps for easy carrying when folded. The chair is very light so it's just as easy to carry by the legs.

Well, this was a gift, and I have not seen the recipient actually using it. The bag is attached to the back handles of the chair, and my friend's chair has a very high back to accommodate a headrest, but it's a standard width chair. To a non-wheelchair person like me, it looks like it would be tricky to reach around the side to access the compartments, because it seems like the wheels would get in the way. But it hangs at about the same height as the bag in the Amazon photo does, so if you don't have arm mobility problems, yes, you would be able to reach around. The top has a drawstring closure, so you wouldn't have to fumble with zippers to get at your things in the main compartment.

No, you do not have to remove the seat. If you have anything stored in the bag, you might want to remove that item because it folds up to about a 6 inch depth.
