Default Beach chairs that fit in S2000?

Since beach season (or lake season for us midwesterners) is almost upon us, does anyone know of beach chairs that you could fit 2 of in the S2000 trunk?

I already have some chairs like this and don't want those:



I want something lower and reclining that's more like this:

Chris Stack, I've looked and cannot find anything but the umbrella type. REI has a $44 umbrella type that sits lower to the ground like your folding chair, but is still an umbrella (REI Camp Stowaway Chair). They also have a chair I haven't seen in person that may fit your bill (GCI Outdoor Pico Telescoping Chair), but at $99 is quite pricey. Good luck in your search...

Maybe you need to go the CR route; lose the spare tire, replace with canned air or a mini compressor, then leave out the spare tire cover. I have a gutted trunk and it fits a whole lot more stuff now.

The motorcycle guys like these, but they don't recline.

I ended up sitting on my towel last year when I went.

Hahaha, good to know I wasn't the only one that couldn't figure it out. The chair I had was like the folding one in the OP (second pic) and literally was 0.5-1 inch too wide to fit.

Taking out the spare doesn't make any difference, the whole chair is too wide to fit in the trunk. If it was just taking out the spare I'd go ahead and do that. Thanks though.

Just sand. Doesn't hurt anything. I own one of these to take care of it...

It's not like the S is a high dollar classic collectible.
