The pieces are rigid enough that I can even use them in my canvas butterfly chair and I\u2019m still well supported, even though parts of the Backfriend are not. I use it in my car most of the time \u2014 it\u2019s well endorsed by truck drivers \u2014 but it really shines when I go to a festival, concert, sporting event, seminar or convention. Remember those butt-buster chairs you had to squirm around in the last time you went to a seminar? No more! Just unfold your Backfriend in your seat and you\u2019ll be the envy of your uncomfortable compatriots. <\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t fold entirely flat, because it\u2019s molded, but it ends up being about max 3 inches thick when folded, has a carry handle and a velcro strap so it doesn\u2019t unfold mid-carry, and it\u2019s pretty light. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not inexpensive, but it will serve you well. I\u2019d order it from a place that allows returns, just in case&#8230;but I don\u2019t see these come up used on eBay much \u2014 once they\u2019ve tried them, people don\u2019t want to let them go! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Backrest and seat base can be used in most any seat or chair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33542"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33542"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33544,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33542\/revisions\/33544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
