Abstract

A backpack stool (1) having a frame (8) with legs (9) attached thereto via pivot points (15) that allow a user to easily convert the backpack stool from a backpack for transporting items to a stool with a surface for sitting. To use the backpack stool as a stool, a user simple folds the legs outward from the frame into an extended position and places the ends of the legs on the ground. The user may then sit on the rear surface (3) of the backpack stool where the shoulder straps (7) are normally located. The rear surface of the backpack is preferably reinforced with a webbing (13) or other material located between the frame. To use the backpack stool as a backpack, a user simple folds the legs into a folded position so that the legs are parallel with the frame. The user may then use the shoulder straps to carry the backpack stool on the user's back.
