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.

I'm not sure but the chair came and its low to the ground and not very wide, it's almost like a child's chair. The bottom is hollow for storage under neath as well

Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling. However, for everyday use it is not substantial. My Dad is very small and no where close to the weight limit on the chair but it has broken and been replaced once and the replacement chair doesn't appear to be any more substantial than the original one. The company was very quick to send us a replacement when the first chair broke but the second one's left handle is very loose, as the first was, and I am scared that it will break in the same place as the first. We had the first for about 6 weeks when it broke. Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling.

I don't have the chair handy as it's at my grandmother's home. However, I'm pretty sure the legs are removable because I recall not being able to find them on occasion when picking her her up to take her out. We've had the chair for 5 years now, not using it on a daily basis, but it has seen a lot of use. It's held up very well. I highly recommend it and hope it fits your needs.p.s. It's not as wide or heavy as a standard wheelchair, so I think it will work for what you need. I'll reiterate again that I've been really happy with it.

Yes, the foot rest could be removed if desired. It can't be adjusted at all.

No, no storage and it's about as firm as a bean bag chair, so definitely cannot be used as a foot stool.

Yes, the foot rests can be raised or lowered. We have been very pleased with the chair. I have no buyers remorse.

I have back problems also and was able to lift it with a little help. Just take off footrest first. Folds easily. I have enjoyed using it and have been very comfortable. Fits nicely in trunk and reopens quickly.

Hi Lauren, we bought the chair for my mom who is 5'1 and 115lbs. We love this chair because it's more narrow than others she's had and lightweight (it weighs 30lbs) the chair is easy to lift and fits in my trunk easily. The foot rests are not removable. I'm not sure what the invacare chairs are like, but we're really happy with this one, when the time comes to replace it, we will probably repurchase it. I hope it's helpful.

Yes, it does come with foot rests. The foot rests are easily removal for the times you don't want to use them, and are easily installable for the times that you want to use them. This has been a VERY good chair.

It's been a while, but I think that the foot pads came separately (on the same day). Check the tracking number and contact the seller. On the whole, it's a nice, economy chair.

Not sure, but it is more than a transport chair - I have 2 transport chairs for my son and bought this because it converts. The foot rests are substantial - more than a transport chair. My guess is that its 20 pounds without the big wheels. Even with the big wheels on it collapses and folds well and fits into the trunk once the foot rests are removed. The big wheels makes it much easier to push for extended time and over uneven ground. If your main goal is light weight, I would stick to the traditional transport chair.

Folded up, it will fit in a 10" space. If you pull the foot rest off, it will fit in a 6" space. The foot rest can be pulled off really easily.

As already mentioned there are brackets that hold the legs in an upright position. I would add that when the footrest is turned upside down the brackets tend to disengage and make it very easy for the legs to fold flat for storage or transportation.

There are 2 different versions of this chair, one with the foot rest (shown), one without. I ordered the one with the footrest, returned it (too high). bought the other one, works perfectly for a desk.

Honestly, I think the others are being too generous, I read these answers before buying and now that I have it see that to even if you fold the legs together you still have to remove the foot holder part to really store it, since it is prevented from going to 180 degrees by the front brace you see in the picture. Better than nothing, but to answer the question I would say no it is not that easy to fold and store.
