Can you swing back armrests to transfer, or must they be completely removed?

I'm guessing that you mean "legrests", as opposed to armrests? I never remove the armrests, though it seems that they can be pulled up and out, if desired. The legrests can just be folded outward (each one has a simple latch) for patient transfer, but I typically remove them (easy), because they can otherwise flap about while I'm folding the wheelchair and placing it into the trunk of the car.

I think they can slide back..but I don't have the chair to verify this as it's at my mother's house.

Yes. There are 8 screws under the chair that can be removed to remove the arms. Also the arms can go down very low. So if they are in the way you may not have to remove them.

I'm not sure if this is even relevant to you anymore (sorry for late reply) but yes, the armrests are completely optional. Although to be fair, I don't think the manufacturer designed it for that kind of use as the armrest helps support the back of the chair in addition to your weight when you lean back. It may bend on you.

The armrests hold the back so no. There are 4 screws on each armrest, two on the seat and 2 on the back.

yes just pull off the mouse pad and your in.your left with 4" x 1&3/4" rectangel tear drop part with a 1 & 1/4" post on the top , but you need that for the armrest to stay clamped. the center of the arm rest part for your fore arm is 1' from center of post to center of arm wrest and swivels 360 degree's to both sides and that distance can be reduced because of 2 pivot points. hope this helps.

you probably would be better off buying new backrest. material to cover them is expensive.

There are grips on the forward portion of the armrests, they work surprisingly well. My wife has no issues holding on over the rough back roads and beaches here in Mexico.

NO YOU CANNOT. They do not have a strap to fasten the top end to the headrest which makes rearfacing use not really possible.

Yes. They can easily be removed and reversed. -- That is also true of the other wheel chairs that I have owned.

I can't find my instructions, but I believe you can as well as the backrest. Hope this helps!

Yes, you just need to take off the removable leg rests which very easily remove by swinging them to the side after you release them with the hinged latch at the top, inside connection of the leg rests. Very easy, I highly recommend. You can also pop off the armrests which make it lighter, but you don't have to.

Yes you can. You just push back on the arms and it is hiden against the back of the chair. I love this product.

Not super easy. No. The anchor hooks take forever until you get used to it. If you choose to just use the seatbelt, it is very easy. I bought mine for the safety, not the convenience. Usually you have to give and take. All in all, I think it was a great decision to buy this one. Like I said, not very easy to transfer from one vehicle to another, but very safe and secure.

You have to take out a little insert by unscrewing it then you put the armrest in and screw it in. It is extremely simple.

Yes, removal of the headrest is not necessary. The piece has a spring in it which allows it to be compressed and slipped into place,

no, you have to remove and use the arm from your old unit , easy to do. or you can purchase arm

The headrests don't need to be removed. As long as the headrests can move up to allow clearance of the mounting brackets (about 1-1.5 inches), you should be able to install this barrier. The headrest support rods themselves are what the mounting brackets anchor to, and as far as I can tell, this configuration will work for most (if not all) SUVs, station wagons, touring wagons, and minivans with a rear bench.
