Does the bar across the bottom of the back get in the way? Uncomfortable?

No. I bought it for my dad (69years old) and he uses it at every grandkids game. He sits in it on average 6hrs a weekend and loves it. Going to buy one for myself.

No that bar that you can see does not interfere with the seating area. It's where the chair fold. The seat and back fabric are supported by support posts on each side...so there is not anything across the back or along bottom where your legs rear. So yes very comfortable and worth the money...built to last and much better than cheaper alternatives.

No it does not. And the seat and back are on the sides...does not interfere with your back or legs. The bar you see is far enough back...where chair folds that it is out of way.

No, it is comfortable. I would suggest the wider chair. My next purchase will be one that is wider.

I bought two of these chairs and we really like them. very comfortable too.

I think it can get uncomfortable when sitting for more than a few hours. I usually pad the seat where the bar is with a towel or jacket.

Yes fairly rigid but bar across the middle hit my back miserably and couldn't sit against it for more than 5 minutes!! Sent it back!

You do NOT need a bar! You can use the back of a couch or chair. I've even used my child's Blongo Ball frame propped up against a couch!

Yes, the bar has a stop that prevents it from being pulled all the way out, as well as provide support for hanging clothes, etc. when fully extended.

The bar is not adjustable. By the way, overall good design but I found the texture of the bar uncomfortable to grip, too rough, and I taped it. In the future I would consider a smooth surface bar and using climbing chalk (I rock climb) for grip if needed.

No. I have tried holding books and magazines with my forearms on the topmost bar but that didn't work. I use it while watching TV.

Because it is? It's a quality bar. I wouldn't worry about it. If it has any issues, you'll see them on the first use

No, if the bar is installed properly. Ours is so tight it allows no wiggle room. If you have additional questions please send them to me.

There is no padding on the bar but my mom has used it constantly with not problems and it's very sturdy as she has problems walking and getting up from a seated position.

Yes, I would say they are a comfortable distance for myself. The bars are 25.5 inches apart - center to center.

I don't know. It was so uncomfortable because of the bar under my legs that I sent it back right away

I am not sure what aspect your questioning, but the bar is great. It can be low enough for children and even though it is soft touch, be mindful that it is metal. There is nothing cushy about this very stable bar.

Yes, make sure the gauge of the bar is thick enough if not solid and properly secured.

I remember thinking it seemed inconvenient at first, fortunately now ours is front facing (meaning no more rebound bar in use) so it's not a problem... I agree that it is placed awkwardly though & made it more difficult while using it rear facing. Once I got a feel for it though, it was easier... It is definitely more difficult than it was on our Chicco key fit which we were using prior. I agree with others that I resorted to trying not to adjust it - but would also state that I shouldn't have to do that, other car seats it's easy to adjust as you please....this issue has been my only lil complaint about this car seat...only consolation is, it does resolve itself when you flip it around...
