Using this chair is a breeze. First, unfold it from the backpack - like form. Adjust the bleacher straps to fit securely on the bleachers if you're using it at a stadium. You can choose to use the armrests or not according to your preference. To recline, simply find the position that suits you best among the 6 available recline settings. When it comes to storage, use the dual side pockets for small items like your phone or keys, the rear zippered storage for larger items, and the elastic arm pouch for quick - access items. For safety, always make sure the gripper bottom is in contact with the surface to prevent slipping. When transporting, use the backpack straps to carry it around easily. As for maintenance, wipe the heavy - duty polyester fabric with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. Store it in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
