There are short sit-down stands for congas by many different makers, and on a more moderate price level
than LP, for example Toca and Tycoon

Patatos will fit snugly into them.
The best-fitting sit-down stands I have ever come across, however, are the ones by the German maker Jost Reiche.
But they are custom-tailored and have to be measured meticulouly for the shell sizes.
I just love their looks, plus they are easy to carry in a conga bag - upside down on the shell!
Another cool option might be these (and btw the search engine really does work on this forum
)
