A convertible backpack assembly for carrying items therewithin, yet provides a readily adaptable assembly for conversion to a “beach”-type chair. The assembly includes a frame base and forward and rearward frame portions each attached to the frame base by a ratchet arrangement. A pair of leg members extend downwardly from the frame base. The forwardmost leg member is pivotably attached to the frame base so as to be swingable away from the lower back of the carrier of the convertible backpack assembly. Envelopes of webbed material may be disposed over the frame portions and across the frame base, to define the front and back of the backpack as well as the back, seat and leg support portions of the “chair”. The seat portion may have its tension adjusted under the frame base, to allow greatest sitter comfort. A pair of side panels of webbed material are removably disposed between the forward and rearward frame portions to define the sides of the backpack assembly. The webbed side panels may also be secured together under the frame base.
