5000 people have bought this Step2 foldable seat on Amazon this month, and it’s a poolside must-have for summer

I used to be a fish in my youth — you couldn’t pluck me out of the pool for anything. However, these days, I feel better sitting on a towel at the edge of the pool with my feet swirling around in the water. I’ve become a #SummerMom, officially, and I’m okay with it.

It’s definitely not comfortable, though. Without proper back support or a cushy perch to park myself on, while my kids splash and play, I end up sore and drained after a long day in the sun. That’s why I flipped when I saw the Step2 Foldable Adult Flip Seat on Amazon, the perfect solution to my waterside hang-ups.

With its versatile folding design, ergonomic support and ingenious lip that keeps it in place, this seat is not only ideal for relaxing by the pool or on a truck during a summer music festival tailgate, it also provides extra support if you’re sitting on the back of a boat, lounging on a dock at the lake or enjoying a day stretched out in the sand.

Plus, when it’s time to pack up, its built-in handle makes it effortlessly portable. Made with a solid through axle and stainless-steel lock nut, this durable seat — that can hold up to 250 pounds — is built to last for years of adventures, while its impeccable molded-in colors — eight available on Amazon — remain vibrant and beautiful, day in and day out.

Best part though?

This on-the-go invention will put an end to your bathing suit pulls or snags. The ones that occur just after you make the decision to watch on the sidelines instead of jumping in the water. I just got a new suit from Monday, and I have no desire to ruin it in the first few weeks of the season.

Shop the Step2 Foldable Adult Flip Seat from $60 at Amazon.

And keep these other poolside accessories in mind for all your summer fun.
