Can you remove the armrests, or at least flip them up out of the way while getting in and out of the car?

Removing the armrests is not something you'll want to do. Graco even recommends fixing them into place with provided screws once they're adjusted to fit your child.

Yes the footrests can be removed.We are impressed with the construction of the chair and the portability. I weigh 100 lbs and I easily get the chair in and out of car trunk to take my 180 lb spouse into his doctors' offices.

Yes, you can move them side-to-side, up-down, as well as completely remove them.

I have not tried to change the seat while my daughter is in there. It would most likely be safer to remove them before. The sunshade should provide enough shade if you run into the sun

The arm rests can be pulled up and down (straight) or took off only (screw off from the base), but cannot lower all the way down.

They are not adjustable and if you remove them you are removing the back rest too because the armrests are what hold the chair together.

Yes. The entire footrest can be easily removed. In fact, I can do it myself from my chair if necessary

They can be removed without causing any problems. You just have to turn a knob under each arm and they will come right off. You can also just skip the step installing them without harming the chair.

Yea they can but your headrest has to be all the way down. I have detachable ones too and it's kindof annoying that I can't move the headrest now but I still like them

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

No u can't. U have to be careful about that. The chair is very comfortable but hard for someone to push u in it because of small wheels. Other than that the chair suits my purpose really well. It is light weight and easy for me to get it in and out of the car.

The arms do attach to the bottom of the seat, completely separately, so I believe they can be removed.

Yes you need to remover the headrest first. In the '05 you need to press where the seat meets the bottom of the headreast and on one of the posts near the top of the seat should be a button like the rest of the headrests in the car. You feel in the fabric and press that and that should release the headrest. Make sure to press hard enough once you find it. The front headrests should be able to be removed in the same manner like the 2nd and 3rd row headrests.

The arms can be left off, but in my opinion, they're essential to the comfort of the chair.... as in an armrest when using a keyboard, etc. I agree with the suggestion to try it and see what you like.

Yes you can remove the arms. They are secured to the bottom of the seat and are meant to be adjustable/removable.

No, the arm covers are removable, but the seat itself would require disassembling the chair.

Actually no, but it is easier if you tip the foot of the chair down. Out is easy, just grab the arms and lift yourself. They are remarkably comfortable.
