do you have to use the footrest? or can you tuck it under?

You can't tuck it under but I find it just fine to sit up with it and to put my legs up with it. It's a great chair

Short answer is yes. I found a footrest to be very helpful for longtime standing comfort.

You shouldnt have any issues carrying and traveling with the footrest at all. It's made of 100% ABS plastic not a single metal or sharp parts so no problem whatsoever! :)

I'm guessing you'd be better off following John P.'s advice, but I'll give my two cents for what it's worth. My height is 5'9" and in the sitting position, with the footrest extended, my ankles are just hanging over the front edge; whereas, in the fully reclined position, my heels are just resting on the front edge of the footrest. Like John P., I find it very comfortable. There is still ample room above my head, at least 6 inches to the top of that huge headrest. And it's certainly wide enough - my 6 year-old grandson can squeeze in next to me when I read to him. Good luck, Lawrence!

While putting it together, you just omit the footrest. If you already put it together and actually want to remove it, you need to disengage the gas lift by hitting the parts apart with a rubber mallot. Seems harsh, but I did it...see my review.

There is no footrest, I think the idea is the car is foot propelled. If I push the car, my son puts his feet up next to the steering wheel. Hope the helps. It does ok off and into dirt, but it is better on a smooth surface such as a sidewalk or inside.

I'm pretty sure you can't remove the foot rest. If I remember correctly I called the company when I first got the chair and they said you can't. The foot rest is too high for me so I stopped using the chair.

No. You push it down with your feet and the foot rest is actually so tight that you have to use your hands to close it completely. I think it will loosen up over time.

I don't really understand your question. Insert the orthotic even with the back of the heel of the shoe. This positions the pad correctly under the foot. I have worn this product for several years without difficulty or pain.

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.

Excellent question, there is not footrest since it's kid pedal powered. I do wish it had a place for the kids feet but then it would make it hard for them to propel themselves forward.

Footrest both swing out to the sides for easy access, or simply lift up to remove. It helps to be able to remove the footrest when loadinginto a car. My mother is 94 and she prefers to sit in the wheelchair when out in her room than in a regular chair.

Wouldn't advise it. The foot rest is a metal plate. No padding. Typically one is leg pressing heavy weights and I certainly prefer footwear.

Good question: In both these situations the Airplane Footrest from Zarcor cannot be used. Answered by, John Halter - Zarcor

Hello Fonda, Kelsyus original canopy chair we purchased does NOT have a foot rest. However, it is comfortable in every other aspect. Kelsyus did a fantastic job of incorporating the canopy as a shield/ carry case when you transport the chair.-Paul

You can adjust the height and rest your feet on the foot rest rather than the floor. You can have one foot on the floor and another on the footrest. If you feet are missing at the ankle, then you can rest your stubs on the footrest rather than dangle your legs.

Absolutely. This is an easy thing to do. In fact, my husband uses the chair in the house without the footrests and leaves them in the car for use when out.
