Helinox's 45mm Ball Feet add about four times the surface area of each regular Helinox chair foot, so you're much less likely to sink in to the ground anywhere even at the beach. With the Chair Buddies you multiply the feet surface roughly by 7 times and sinking in the ground is prevented. Integrated in the feet is a TPE-rubber (Thermoplastic Elastomers) part that extends through the bottom that both seals the inside space and provides an anti-slip surface.

Extra security provided by a durable Velcro retaining strap to attach to the underside of the chair.

This was exactly the same problem that Juris Magone encountered and – different then me – decided to solve.Apart from helping to stabilise the chair they also reduce damage on tent groundsheets and grass in parks or your back yard. I've heard that an X shape made from two lengths of car seat belt type webbing works well - make a pocket at the ends for the legs. The flat bottom style has softly rounded corners to prevent dust accumulation and facilitate cleaning.
