Does the foot rest fold out of the way ? Just wondered if it gets in the way getting in and out of the chair ?

With the foot rest down you can get in the chair from the side because the arm goes up.

Yes, it folds away nicely. It folds up and is easy to handle. Even at a dinning table, you can lift the fold the foot rest up and put the arms up and sit comfortable .

Yes, you can fold the footrest out of the way. We have enjoyed the ease of use and portability of this chair.

It does fold up, but you have to lift your legs way up to get it folded. We mostly just stepped inside the space to get out.

The foot rest folds up toward the seat. It gets out of the way for getting in and out of the chair, but is a bit awkward compared to a traditional chair foot rest.

The foot rest does not get in the way of getting in and out of the chair. My friend with MS and my mom 86 yrs old does not have any problems.

Chair doesn't "fold up" but can be disassembled for travel. Many of the parts (swing away foot rest; castor wheels) lock together with spring buttons which easily come apart. Other parts come apart but require the tool that comes with the chair. It might get tiresome on a stop and go trip but is worth the safety and comfort of the occupant to have it. Chair is compact and wouldn't take up much room once the footrests and wheels are off. Also, arms raise 90 degrees which affords more space flexibility.

It does not collapse or fold for transporting in vehicle. I don't have it with me now to see how easy it is to take it apart for transporting and then reassembling it at destination. For general comments I found the chair a little flimsy/shaky.

If you mean do the footrests fold up for storage, yes. If you mean does the whole thing rotate upwards, no. Hope this helps.

Neck: only the very base of the neck if any. Yes the foot rest does go all the way in. We have had some issues however with the fuse--it ran great for a month and then the fuses keep burning out. It is not obvious from the instructions where to find the fuse box (left foot of chair). It looks wonderful and has a relatively small footprint.

It doesn't fold up. The length is adjustable. The part on the floor is small but sturdy so it doesn't seem to get in the way.

i had to use the chair for several months following surgery. It does fold up easily and fits in the trund or the back seat of our car. The chair folds much better and easier if you remove the foot rests first. The chair with the footrests on weighs approximately 35 lbs. Hope this helps

Hi, Ida--I don't use the footrest either. Yes, the entire metal part that supports the footrests comes off for both legs, leaving just the chair and comfortable space for your legs. I'll add that I'm extremely happy with this chair all around. It's comfortable, lightweight, sturdy, and does its job well. I highly recommend it, especially for the price. Good luck!

No, the only folding up it does is the steps fold up under the chair. Otherwise this chair takes up as much space as a barstool type seat.

No, it has a spreader bar that keeps it open! You have to remove the bar to fold the chair up. Actually, the reason I had to buy this chair for the second time is because after a few years of pushing my husband for hundreds of miles in his previous chair (same one)....the spreader bar wore out. Could have soldered it but decided not to take a chance on that! I absolutely love this chair! Literally pushed my husband over 500 miles in it last summer!!!! Great item!

The chair does not fold. In fact, it takes a large foot print of space. The chair is extremely comfortable and sturdy. If you have the space, this is a great chair!

Yes, it does come with foot rests. The foot rests are easily removal for the times you don't want to use them, and are easily installable for the times that you want to use them. This has been a VERY good chair.

Yes. Foot rest comes up then back reclines. A good napping chair per my granny!

No, sorry, doesn't fold, but still worth every penny. I just put it up in a bin, slides in free space nothing else will use. I love my sure foot and would not trade it! I have a folding cane, but take the foot instead. It has saved me so many times and so easy to rescue when I knock it over, plus stands by itself while I conduct business. As you can tell, I am really sold on it.

Sorry for the delay in response. This email got lost in the mix. No, it does not fold forward. To be honest, after using the chair, it is a great chair but not much for portability. When you pick it up to try and move it, the base falls off. This is bad because it is heavy and sometimes hits your legs or lands on your feet if you are not careful. Also, the chair is very heavy and it is ok the first few times trying to carry it around but I wouldn't call it portable. I hope this helps.

It goes strait out if you put in the locked position.This chair is very comfortable. I fall asleep in it all the time. I also have circulation problems and it helps my legs. Hope this helps you.
