SEATTLE -- It's the time of year to be outdoors -- to watch your kids play sports or go to a picnic.

Maybe you need a nice, comfortable chair to sit in? Good Housekeeping just tested 8 portable folding chairs and found you don't have to pay a lot for great, front row seats.

"In our tests of portable folding chairs, we were looking for how heavy they were, how easy they were to take out of the bag, put back in the bag, how comfortable they were, and how the fabric held up in a lot of different durability tests," said Kathleen Huddy with the Good Housekeeping Institute.

"We tested the chairs to see what kind of weight they could hold. Also if there were any safety issues -- if there were fingers getting pinched. We found a few chairs that cost $40 or under."

Coleman's Cooler Quad Chair ($28) scored top points for comfort.

"This is a comfortable chair because it's got a padded back, a wide seat," Huddy said. "It also has a extra large cup holder and a cooler that holds small bottles."

At less than seven pounds, Campmor's Captain's Chair ($15) was the lightest winner.

"It would be really easy to throw in the back of your car, take to a soccer game, or whatever you need to go to."

Good Housekeeping says Kelty's Essential Chair ($40) comes with fun extras like an attached bottle opener, if that sort of thing is important to you.
