The Best Soccer Mom Chair

This is for all you busy sport’s moms! Whether you're navigating the mountains, soaking up the sun at the beach, or cheering from the sidelines at a soccer field, one thing’s for sure—being a soccer mom is no small feat. Game days are filled with excitement, energy, and a whole lot of moving parts. But don’t worry! With the right essentials in your bag and a little prep, you’ll be the MVP of every game, no matter where you are.

Here’s a breakdown of soccer mom essentials that will keep you organized, comfortable, and totally in control. Let’s dive in!

1. The Ultimate Soccer Mom Chair: PARKIT Voyager for Comfort & Convenience

Let’s talk about comfort. If you’ve spent any time at all on the sidelines, you know that a good soccer mom chair is a total game-changer. And when it comes to chairs that do it all, the PARKIT Voyager is where it’s at. This chair isn’t just for sitting; it’s your new best friend on game day.

Here’s why the PARKIT Voyager is the best soccer mom chair:

- Built-In Cooler: The PARKIT Voyager isn’t just a chair—it has a built-in cooler that keeps snacks and drinks cold for up to 8+ hours. That means you won’t need to make multiple trips to the concession stand or dig through your bag for a water bottle. It’s all right there, keeping your drinks at the perfect temperature from the first whistle to the last. The cooler is large enough to hold snacks and drinks for your athlete, the parents, & any other siblings that might be along the sideline as well.

  - Comfort for the Long Haul: Soccer games can last a while, and your chair needs to be up to the task. The Parkit Voyager was created with ergonomic sitting posture in mind so you can cheer on your little one without that sore back or stiff legs. 

- Portability: The PARKIT Voyager is lightweight and foldable with backpack carry straps, making it easy to transport from the mountains to the beach and everywhere in between. 

- Storage Space: Not only does it have a built-in cooler, but it also comes with additional storage pockets for your essentials, like sunscreen, a phone, or your player’s favorite snacks. It’s the perfect chair for the busy soccer mom who needs a one-stop solution for comfort and convenience.

2. Stay Hydrated: Pack the Best Water Bottles

Hydration is key for you and your player. Between game time, halftime, and everything in between, you’ll both need plenty of water. So, make sure you’re ready with a durable, eco-friendly water bottle that keeps your drinks cool for hours.

- Durable & Insulated: Choose a water bottle that’s built to last. Stainless steel bottles are perfect for keeping your drinks cold—even on hot, sunny game days. =

- Cupholder Compatibility: Here’s a bonus—PARKIT Voyager’s cupholder is compatible with all of your favorite water bottles, including YETI, Hydroflask, Stanley, and most of your other go-to bottles. 

3. The Soccer Mom Bag: All the Essentials in One Place

Ah, the trusty soccer mom bag—where everything you need for a successful game day comes together. From snacks to sunscreen and extra layers, it’s the one thing you can’t leave home without. Here’s what should always be packed that might not be in the PARKIT Voyager cooler bag:

  • Sunscreen & Bug Spray
  • First-Aid Kit
  • Towels & Wipes

4. Layer Up: Weather-Proof Gear for Every Season

The best way to stay comfortable (and prepared for anything!) is to dress in layers and pack some weather-proof essentials:

- Layering is Key: A breathable jacket that can zip up or down, depending on the weather, is a must. Add a hoodie or sweater underneath for warmth when needed.

- Rain Gear: No matter where you are, weather can be unpredictable. Bring a lightweight rain jacket just in case those clouds roll in.

- Hat & Sunglasses: Protect your face and eyes from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. A hat not only keeps the sun off but can also help with bad hair days when you’ve been on the move all morning!

- Umbrella: For those days when the sun is relentless or unexpected showers hit. 

5. Extra Clothes for Your Player: Be Ready for Anything

No matter how many games you’ve been to, there’s always a chance your player will come off the field covered in mud, grass stains, or sweat. That’s why it’s always smart to pack a spare set of clothes for your player:

- Socks & Shoes: Pack an extra pair of socks and maybe even shoes in case your player needs to change after a muddy or sweaty game. You never know when a little gear swap will make a big difference in comfort.

6. Keep Your Phone Charged: Stay Connected

Whether you're keeping track of game times, texting the coach, or snapping pictures of your little player scoring that winning goal, your phone will be your lifeline on game day. Keep it charged and ready to go with a portable charger.

Make sure you’ve got an extra charger in your bag just in case. You don’t want to miss out on any of those proud mom moments because your battery’s dead!

7. Player Gear: What Your Soccer Player Needs

Don’t forget your player’s gear! A soccer game day isn’t complete without the right equipment. Here’s a checklist of soccer player essentials to make sure they’re ready to hit the field:

  • Soccer Cleats: A good pair of cleats is essential for traction, whether you're playing on grass, turf, or even sand. Make sure they’re comfortable and fit properly to avoid blisters.
  • Shin Guards: Protect those legs with shin guards—they're non-negotiable for safety and comfort during the game. Don’t forget the socks to hold them in place!
  • Soccer Ball: Some players prefer their own ball for warm-ups or practice. Having a soccer ball in the bag means they’re always ready to get a little extra practice in.
  • Water Bottle: Just like you, your player will need to stay hydrated! Make sure their water bottle is filled up and easily accessible during the game.
  • Extra Socks: A spare pair of socks is a must. Soccer can get messy, so it’s great to have extra on hand in case your player needs a change.
  • Jersey: Make sure your player has their jersey, shorts, and any team-specific gear they need to wear during the game. Sometimes, even a change of clothes after the game will make a big difference in comfort.
  • Towel or Sports Towel: Soccer is a sweaty sport, so packing a towel for your player to wipe off the sweat (or any dirt from a slide tackle) is always a good idea.

Game day is all about making memories, supporting your player, and having fun. With the right soccer mom essentials, you can stay organized, comfortable, and ready to take on whatever game day throws your way.

So, grab your PARKIT Voyager, pack your bag, and get ready to cheer your heart out. Whether you’re watching from the sidelines or racing to the next game, you’ve got this, soccer mom!
