Straps (50 and 52) are provided for connecting the chair back (20) and the seat back (18) to allow the chair back and the seat to be maintained at a desired degree of recline relative to each other. The chair back (20) and seat (18) can be detachably attachable to the backpack (14). The backpack (14) can include a lower waterproof and insulated compartment (102) for carrying items that are best consumed when cold, such as soft drinks.</p> |
