Does this still glide with the foot rest in the up position?

No, it does not glide with the foot rest up. You can still 'spin' sideways with the foot rest up, but not up-down rocking or gliding.

The footrest was one of the reasons my hubby chose this one for our three year old, but honestly, I have never seen him use it. He likes to keep his feet out as he glides. He's been using it for about a year now.

Personally I don't find it difficult to move with my legs. It can sometimes be a bit hard to get it to latch in place but that's it. Also, while the foot rest doesn't have much padding, I find it has enough to be comfortable.

Mine didn't exactly "stick" but it wasn't a "smooth" glide either, if that is what you mean. I do think it should it should glide more smoothly. More importantly, after using mine daily for about one month, a piece Broke right off and is not usable at all anymore! : ( I'm not buying another one and regret buying it at all. I still do same exercise except I use my fingers in my mouth for resistance and honestly that seems to work better anyway.

no! When the foot rest comes up the back goes down slightly until the foot rest is all the way up then it reclines as far as you want it.

Yes. You will sit slightly higher than average, but it does not affect motion.

Yes, it does glide smoothly. It does make a very slight squeak if we lean heavily to the left when rocking. But, it' really not a problem.

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.

Hi Jim, Your feet are elevated at the same time you lean back it is a smooth action. Also it is very easy to put the feet down just push down on the foot and lean forward. I love my chair.

No, not at all. Mine has not moved since I put it down. Very steady, and easy to pick up by the handle s on the ends.

No, it doesn't. It does glide back and forth though. This is such an incredibly comfortable chair. I absolutely loved it.

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

Yes it does.... It doesn't go exactly flat tho it has a slight decline or incline I just use it on the slight decline

Hello:The foot rest only has an up or down position but the back can recline back in graduating positions. It is a very comfortable chair, but very big as well. The upholstery on mine did not hold up and neither did the back. I just purchased a new recliner but decided to take this one apart and found that three of the four bolts holding the back on had fallen out. Not very good construction. I was able to repair it, but the upholstery still has tons of cracks in it and it is only a year and half old. So if this is for daily use I would think twice before ordering it.

No, in fact the footrest is level with the front edge of the seat cushion. I have the same problem so what I did was mount the footrest upside down, it was too close to the seat cushion for long legged people, then cut a piece of plywood to fit the shape of the footrest and mounted it with screws to extend the footrest outward.

HiIt does have a neck/ head rest that does move up and down. It sits very close to the ground but I have it on carpet. You can buy the risers for it.

The foot rest is stationary. You may use it to push on & turn yourself around
