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.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a cooler with seat and anti-tip support, as shown and described.
