I'll second director chairs, my wife and I love them. they let you sit up
right at a normal chair height comfortably or lounge. Ours have fold out
tables we can put our drinks and stuff on its great. We also have an
inflatable ENO billows (one of those bag lounges] for deep chilling. Check
those out for really comfy seating.
I have installed nylon kayak grab handles using the bolts for the passenger
seatbelt on both sides. Throw the chairs in and cinch the down using Andy
straps hooked to both sides. Super easy and very secure. Strong enough to
hold our camp table, stove and rug as well.
In the end all the stuff we use for outdoor camp is right there, ready to
go!
Good stuff!
