FIG. 9 is a right side elevation view of FIG. 8 , with the seat backs in the open position and the anti-tip support in the extended (or opened) position;

FIG. 10 is a top, front, left side perspective view of the cooler with seat and anti-tip support of the present invention, with cooler compartment lids in the open position and a pull handle unfolded and fully extended; and,

Portions of the drawings that are shown with broken lines are for environmental purposes only, and do not constitute part of the claimed design.

The article in which the claimed design is embodied is a cooler with seat and anti-tip support (alternatively referenced herein as a “cooler/seat”). The cooler/seat provides one or more thermally insulated cooler compartments with latchable hinged lids and an access hatch with a hinged lid. One or more seats are provided on the lid(s), each having a hinged seatback supported in an upright (opened) position. An anti-tip support extends outward beyond the simple footprint of the cooler/seat itself, thereby providing extra support for resisting tipping when a seat is in use. The cooler/seat is transportable by means of wheels and a fold-away pull handle.
