     The garden chair  100  may be configured as a seat or a kneeling stool, including a garden chair body  1  and a cushion  2 . The garden chair body  1  includes a first chair leg  11 , a second chair leg  12  and a carrying frame  13 . The first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are relatively spaced apart. An end of the carrying frame  13  is arranged on the first chair leg  11  and the other end is arranged on the second chair leg  12 . The cushion  2  is removably arranged on the carrying frame  13 . By virtue of the cushion  2  removable arranged on the carrying frame  13  of the garden chair  100 , the cushion  2  of the garden chair  100  is easy to clean and replace, and the cushion  2 , when removed, may be applied to a variety of functional kneeling cushion and seat upholstery mobile cushion. 
     The cushion  2  includes a first soft cushion  21 , a second soft cushion  22  and a connection member  23 . The first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  are arranged on opposite sides of the carrying frame  13 , respectively. The first soft cushion  21  is removably arranged on the second soft cushion  22  by the connection member  23 . Exemplarily, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the number of the connection member  23  is one. An end of the first soft cushion  21  is detachably connected to the second soft cushion  22  by the connection member  23 , and the other end of the first soft cushion  21  is reversibly attached to the second soft cushion  22 . It should be noted that in other embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 5  or  FIG. 6 , the number of the connection members  23  may be two. Opposite ends of the first soft cushion  21  are each detachably connected to the second soft cushion  22  by the connection member  23 . Such design is more convenient for a user to remove the cushion  2  from the carrying frame  13 , thus improving the user experience. 
     The connection member  23  may be at least one of: hook and loop, concealed buckle, button, zipper, snap fastener and strap. Exemplarily, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the first soft cushion  21  includes a first cushion body  211  and a first connection body  212  extending from the first cushion body  211 . The connection member  23  connects the first connection body  212  and the second soft cushion  22  to make the first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  detachably connected. The connection member  23  is hook and loop, i.e., the connection member  23  includes a male side and a female side. The male side is arranged on the first connection body  212  and the female side is arranged on the second soft cushion  22  at a position corresponding to the first connection body  212 . The male side and the female side may be matched and connected, such that the first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  are removable. It should be noted that a side of the first cushion body  211  near the second soft cushion  22  is also arranged with a female side, such that when the first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  are disassembled, the first connection body  212  is bonded to the first cushion body  211  through a cooperation of the male side and the female side, thus improving the aesthetics of the cushion  2  after disassembly. 
     When two connection members  23  are arranged, as shown in  FIG. 5 , two first connection bodies  212  are arranged. The first connection bodies  212  are arranged on opposite sides of the first cushion body  211  respectively, and the first connection bodies  212  are each detachably connected to the second soft cushion  22  via a corresponding connection member  23 . It is noted that in other embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 6 , one first connection body  212  is arranged, and the second soft cushion  22  includes a second cushion body  221  and a second connection body  222  extending from an end of the second cushion body  221  away from the first connection body  212 . The first connection body  212  is detachably connected to the second soft cushion  22  via a corresponding connection member  23 . The second connection body  222  is detachably connected to the first soft cushion  21  via another corresponding connection member  23 . 
     It should be noted that in other embodiments, the connection member  23  may be at least one of a concealed buckle, button, snap, zipper or strap. The design of the concealed buckle, button, snap, zipper or strap can make the first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  more stable and longer life. 
     It can be understood that the first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  near the side of the carrying frame  13  may be arranged with convex particles for increasing the friction between the first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  and the carrying frame. This design can prevent the cushion  2  from sliding when the garden chair  100  is in use. 
     The cushion  2  may also include a carrying part  25  arranged on the first connection body  212  or the second connection body  222 . Exemplarily, the carrying part  25  is arranged on the first connection body  212 . The carrying part  25  is convenient for the user to carry the garden chair  100  or convenient for the user to remove the cushion  2 , thus improving the user experience. 
     In some embodiments, the carrying frame  13  includes a first connection rod  131  and a second connection rod  132 . The first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132  are relatively spaced apart. An end of the first connection rod  131  and an end of the second connection rod  132  are respectively rotatably arranged on the first chair leg  11 . The other end of the first connection rod  131  and the other end of the second connection rod  132  are respectively rotatably arranged on the second chair leg  12 . In this way, the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  can be rotated relative to the carrying frame  13 , that is, the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  of the garden chair  100  can be folded. When the user is not using the garden chair  100 , the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  can be folded closer to the carrier  13 , thus making it easier for the user to carry. 
     In some embodiments, the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are each formed by a metal tube bent and welded, and the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are each arranged with a fixing rod  3  at a position corresponding to the carrying frame  13 . An end of the fixing rod  3  includes a third connection rod  31  extending close to the first connection rod  131 , and the other end of the fixing rod  3  includes a fourth connection rod  32  extending close to the second connection rod  132 . The third connection rod  31  is rotatably arranged on the first connection rod  131  at an end far from the fixed rod  3 , and the fourth connection rod  32  is rotatably arranged on the second connection rod  132  at an end far from the fixed rod  3 . The first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132  each defines a first locking slot  4  at both ends, and the third connection rod  31  and the fourth connection rod  32  each defines a second locking slot  5  at positions corresponding to the first locking slots  4 . 
     The garden chair  100  may further includes a locking rod  6 , which is slidably arranged in the first locking slots  4  and the second locking slots  5 . Exemplarily, the locking rod  6  includes a cross rod  61  and a guide rod  62 . The cross rod  61  is slidingly arranged in the first locking slots  4  and the second locking slots  5 . When the cross rod  61  is arranged in both the first locking slots  4  and the second locking slots  5 , an end of the cross rod  61  can fix the first connection rod  131  and the third connection rod  31 , and the other end can fix the second connection rod  132  and the fourth connection rod  32 . An end of the guide rod  62  is inserted on the fixing rod  3 , and the other end is arranged on the cross rod  61 . The guide rod  62  is arranged with a spring  63 . When the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are not folded, the guide rod  62  and the spring  63  are configured to confine the cross rod  61  to the first locking slots  4 . When the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are required to be folded, the user may simply press the cross rod  61 , which in turn compresses the spring  63 , causing the cross rod  61  to slide away from the first locking slot  4   s . After the cross rod  61  slides out of the first locking slots  4 , the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are then folded closer to the carrying frame  13 . It can be understood that the number of the guide rods  62  may be plural, and the plurality of guide rods  62  are evenly arranged between the fixed rod  3  and the cross rod  61 , such that when the cross rod  61  is pressed, the cross rod  61  is evenly stressed, thus preventing left and right ends from being out of sync during the sliding of the cross rod  61 . 
     The first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132  each define an axle hole  7 , which is closer to the carrying frame  13  than a corresponding first locking slot  4 . The third connection rod  31  and the fourth connection rod  32  are each arranged with a pivot  8  at a position corresponding to a corresponding axle hole  7 . The pivot  8  is arranged in the axle hole  7  such that the first chair leg  11  and the second chair leg  12  are respectively connected to the carrying frame  13  by rotation. 
     The garden chair  100  may further include a locking-rod support member  9  configured to support the cushion  2 . The support member  9  is arranged between the first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132 , or the support member  9  is arranged on a side of the first soft cushion  21  and on a side of the second soft cushion  22  near the first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132 , respectively. Exemplarily, as shown in  FIG. 3 , the support member  9  is removably arranged between the first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132  by a screw. The support member  9  is made of hard plastic and includes a reinforcing frame  91  and a reinforcing skeleton  92 . The reinforcing skeleton  92  is arranged in the reinforcing frame  91  and connected to the reinforcing frame  91 . The configuration of the support member  9  can reduce the weight of the garden chair  100  while also reducing the production cost of the garden chair  100 . Moreover, when the support member  9  is damaged, the damaged support member  9  can be disassembled and replaced with a new support member  9 . It should be noted that in other embodiments, the support member  9  may also be arranged on a side of the first soft cushion  21  and on a side of the second soft cushion  22  near the first connection rod  131  and the second connection rod  132 , respectively. 
     The reinforcing skeleton  92  is formed by a plurality of reinforcing bars arranged crosswise with each other, and a plurality of through-holes  90  are defined between the plurality of reinforcing bars and between the plurality of reinforcing bars and the reinforcing frame. The plurality of through-holes  90  may prevent the cushion  2  from sliding, that is, when the user sits on the cushion  2 , the force on the cushion  2  makes part of the cushion  2  fall into the through-holes  90 , so as to play a role in preventing the cushion  2  from sliding. It should be noted that the reinforcement skeleton  92  may also be formed by a plurality of reinforcement bars arranged parallel to each other. 
     The reinforcing skeleton  92  and the reinforcing frame  91  are connected to form a plurality of identical cells, the cells are square in shape, and the reinforcing bars divide the cells into a plurality of identical triangles. In the embodiment, the reinforcing bars include a plurality of first reinforcing bars  92   a  that are parallel to each other and spaced apart, a plurality of second reinforcing bars  92   b  that are parallel to each other and spaced apart, and a plurality of third reinforcing bars  92   c  that are parallel to a long side of the reinforcing frame  91  and spaced apart. The first reinforcing bars  92   a , the second reinforcing bars  92   b  and the third reinforcing bars  92   c  are intersected to separate the area enclosed by the reinforcing frame  91  into the plurality of square cells, each square cell including six triangular through-holes  90 . 
     The first soft cushion  21  and the second soft cushion  22  are located on opposite sides of the support member  9 , which makes the size of the cushion  2  consistent with the size of the support member  9 , thus reducing the production cost of the garden chair  100 . 
     Compared with the prior art, the garden chair  100  provided by the present disclosure makes the cushion  2  of the garden chair  100  easy to clean and replace by mounting the cushion  2  removably on the carrying frame  13 , and the removed cushion can be applied to various functional kneeling cushions and seat upholstery mobile cushions.
