Does the back support adjust as in going forward or backward? I don't necessarily want to lean back but would like the back support regardless.

No it does not adjust. It has a pin to pull out for the back rest to lay down for storing.

The seat does not tilt forward or backwards. The backrest does tilt backwards.

The chair does lean back a bit. We bought for a friend w/back problems & he said that you do not want one to sit straight if you had back issues. I will ask him for an update as we gave for a Christmas gift.

it tilts only forward...if back tilting is required it can only be achieved by tilting the back piece but note the head rest will not go further back than the back of the chair.additional information: this chair is used by my wife (broken spine in 3 vertebrae with screws, graft and lateral retention plates) and she has found it very comfortable since we received it. the first criteria for our purchase was her comfort and the second value-money relationship...both were achieved (we had very close competitor in a chair from costco but i'm a very big fan of amazon...)

The back does not adjust. The part that connects the back to the chair is flexible which allows you to lean back comfortably. We got the chairs for our work. We do have some larger people working here but i am small stature and find them very comfortable. We did not put the arm rests on them. I hope this helps.

The seat and back move forward together. There's a knob under the seat that you can loosen and move the seat/back forward or back then tighten again. It adjusts well for shorter or longer legs.

I have found that if the seat pan/tilt is pisitioned properly than you do not need the back. I have mine all the way down to the seat, and never utilize it as a seat back. My seat is tilted forward as far as it goes. I am a dental hygienist and use my chair when treating patients

Mine doesn't recline at all. It only adjusts up and down which is easy to do but that is the only real movement.

No, the back does not adjust. I am 5" 5" and its perfect for me. i really like the chair. So does my wife. She is 4"1"

It does sit straight upwards, it does not tilt back. The back rest is small against the back but it does work better for the back rather than having no support at all

The safe seat does not adjust in the back, it adjust just like convertable does...by pulling the webbing between the babies leg at the end of the seat. Hope that helps.

The "Back" of the chair will adjust up and down maybe 1-2 inches but is stationary to the seat of the chair (i.e. does not move back by itself). Now the seat does tilt back or reclines back (i.e. seat and back recline together). I hope that makes sense and helps.

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair. It has a lock mechanism if you want to lock in a certain position when tilting it backwards. Or you can leave it "unlocked" which makes it have like a spring rocking motion while sitting in it. As for tilting forward, not really sure what you are asking. If you want to tilt backwards, like I say it has a button to "lock" in place and you can also 'unlock" it to sit more forward. It does have about 4 or 5 adjustments for the lumbar support. My husband thinks it is a great chair for the price. I hope we have helped answer your questions.

There is no seat tilt forward aspect to the chair. The seat tilts back, but then it stops at a point (where it should) when you go forward again. So there is nothing to adjust there. Those who are saying that the seat is tilting forward may have gotten a defective chair. Mine is fine FWIW. The seat is either completely level or it leans back if I want it to.

Yes, the back is adjustable, although I wish it would recline another inch or so. If you are small, (I'm 5'8", 172#s) it may be fine for you.EKS+

It can be set to completely upright or to lean back. I prefer the straight backed chair, so I have it completely upright. There is lumbar support, which I need for my lower back and it is ideal.

Hello R. Grimmett,I checked and the back rest of the chair does not lean forward or backward. It is stable. The entire chair moves up and down and spins around, but otherwise the parts do not move separately. You can lean back in the chair, but the back is connected to a sturdy frame and is not lose and flimsy.
