Bought this to take on holiday as it folds up, and if you remove the feet (which are very simple to remove and attach) it's even less bulky. I use a shower stool at home but it doesn't fold so it would take up too much space in the car boot. When I received this one I was impressed by how sturdy and secure it feels to sit on because it is not at all heavy. The only thing it's missing is a handy bag to store it in, but apart from that small criticism it's ideal for travel.
