The lounge includes a sidewall connected to a base. The lounge is convertible between an open configuration and a closed configuration and a fastener is provided. When the fastener is connected, the lounge defines a closed configuration having a reduced length and suitable for portability. Backpack straps are provided so that the lounge can be carried on the back. The sidewall is resilient such that the lounge springs into the open configuration when the fastener is released. When in the open configuration, a child can recline inside the lounge. Scallops in the sidewall serve as a headrest for the lounger and a plush toy head with eyes is connected to the lounge such that the child can see the plush toy while lying in the lounge. The lounge further includes arms and legs that resemble an animal or other creature. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lounge, comprising: a base having an inner surface and an outer surface; and a sidewall connected to the base; the sidewall having a top end, an inner surface, and an outer surface defining an outer perimeter; the lounge having an open configuration and a closed configuration; in the open configuration, the base has a length along a longitudinal axis and a width along a lateral axis; the length is longer than the width of the base such that the lounge defines an oval shape in the open configuration; in the open configuration, the entire sidewall extends along a vertical axis such that the entire sidewall is upstanding from the base and encompasses the inner surface of the base to define an interior of the lounge; the vertical axis being perpendicular to a plane containing the longitudinal axis and lateral axis; two backpack straps located along the outer surface of the base; wherein the sidewall is folded to form a U-shape in the closed configuration; the U-shape being visible when carrying the lounge as a backpack. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 further including a releasable fastener sized and configured to hold the lounge in the closed configuration. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The lounge of claim 2 wherein the fastener includes a first end releasably connectable to a second end. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The lounge of claim 3 wherein the entire sidewall is perpendicular to the plane containing the longitudinal axis and the lateral axis in the closed configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The lounge of claim 3 wherein the U-shape defines an open end and the fastener is located to bridge the open end of the U-shape. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1, comprising: a slip cover defining an interior space having an opening; the slip cover being sized and configured to receive and encompass the sidewall within the interior space; the sidewall is insertable and removable through the opening; the opening being closable with a zipper to contain the sidewall in the interior space; the cover including a base; the zipper extending continuously around an entire perimeter of the sidewall. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The lounge of claim 6 further including a plush toy head connected to the cover. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The lounge of claim 6 wherein the zipper is located along a distal end of the sidewall. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein the sidewall includes a plurality of holes extending between the inner surface and the outer surface. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein the sidewall includes a scallop formed in a top end. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein in the closed configuration, the entire sidewall includes a U-shape defined by the longitudinal axis of the sidewall being curved and centered on the lateral axis, and the sidewall having an inner U-shape within an outer U-shape. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The lounge of claim 11 wherein in the closed configuration the interior of the lounge is reduced in size and the oval shape is flattened by moving the inner surface of the sidewall closer together and folded by breaking the major axis of the oval. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein, in the closed configuration, the entire sidewall is perpendicular to the plane containing the longitudinal axis and lateral axis. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein each backpack strap has a first end connected to the lounge along one side of the longitudinal axis. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein the sidewall on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis is folded to form the U-shape. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The lounge of claim 1 wherein the backpack straps are configured such that the U-shape is an inverted, upside-down U-shape when carrying the lounge as a backpack.
