Can the foot rest be disconnected from the chair?

Yes it can. It's a wonderful chair. Super comfortable and very attractive. I keep it in my sun room. For me it would be too heavy to carry to the beach each day. This type of chair is what I rent when I go to the beach, which is why I bought one for my house.

absolutely...It's just a simple 'hook' type piece that just hangs onto the front of the seat 'runner'...it doesn't latch or anything of that nature..so you can use it as a lounger or as a chair

Yes, there are 3 holes to make the petal (foot rest) higher or lower to the ground and the whole leg rest can swing away or be removed for easy access to the chair.

Unfortunately, no. But we have a small footstool we place in front of the chair when my dad wants to stretch out. Aslide-out footrest would be a welcome addition.

Yes, they both are easily removed. Each footrest sits on 2 pins and you just have to lift it up and off the pins. I remove them all the time to load the chair into my trunk.

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

Yes they can be easily removed. We keep this wheelchair in the car for all our outside of our home activities. It's so lightweight and then sturdy. I highly recommend this wheelchair. We are taking it on our cruise for 7 days as my Dad's main wheelchair for the trip because it is so convenient. The footrests go on and off just like the footrests on the one in our home...very easy.

You can control the backrest independent of the footrest. The back can be adjusted to have only a slight recline. It is not truly straight up but may feel that way.

Upon further inspection, it appears that the arms don't do anything structurally to the chair. So, yes, you could leave them off.

No. It cannot be used without the footrest. If this is important an feature you could instead buy the Roma chair, which has 4 reclining positions and also purchase the Roma Ottoman for resting your feet.

Yes the leg rests are easily removed. We own two, one to keep in my car at all times and one that my husband uses on a daily basis inside the home. We have owned them for almost a year and have had no problems. I appreciate the light weight for getting it in and out of the car. I highly recommend this chair.

Yes -- you assemble the entire chair so you could leave the head piece off.

All recliners have a split between the seat and foot rest or, well, you wouldn't be able to recline. But, the foot rest is one piece, not two as some are.

Yes it has footrest that swing and can be removed.One thing also to be aware of , this chair is wide.you need to make sure it will fit in doorways and extra sure if you transporting person in chair into a van with ramp.My van required me to remove hand grips on back wheels so we could get in van.

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.

You are correct. It may be too high even when the seat is at it's top position, but I haven't tried that. I don't think it was built as a foot rest.

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.
