do the steps fold completely into the chair structure? The chair is for a 90 yr old and I want to make sure there is nothing to trip over.

Yes the chair I purchased has the stairs that go completely under and lock into place when pulled back out. There are no latches or anything, you just lift and put under and then just pull it out when needed. It's been a great stool.

Yes, the steps fold underneath the seat. The legs of the steps line up in front of the front legs of the chair. So the legs of the steps are about 1/4 of an inch in front of the legs of the chair. Is that confusing?! I don't think it could cause someone to trip. I wish I could send a picture!

The Cosco step/chair/ladder is perfect for any age - folds completely and holds weight up to 250 lbs. - - very comfortable to sit on & extremely useful.

Yes, the steps fold up into the center of the stool. I also find it to be of high quality.

Yes. It doesn't come put together. It comes in a box and it will absolutely fit down the stairs with room to spare.

It would be much too hard for a 90 year old to push the chair back in. You have to use your legs to push the foot rest back in once it's extended. It's hard for me and I'm in my 30's.

No. It does not fold, but it is light and easy to move. My family moves between two homes and we take this chair with us. It's lasted through two kids and am going on the third! It's held up well and still looks about new!

The chair part folds down and the legs fold together. I travel with two of these chairs very easily because of the fold down is so easy and relatively compact.

Yes. The legs fold up and so does the chairs. The chairs have a locking device so they won't accidentally fold up.

Yes. Little level pulls out. Slight movement and will fold up. Level is what locks step stool so it doesn't collapse when standing in it.

There are wooden slats underneath the carpeted steps that pivot upright and fit into slots to keep the steps in stair position. If you fold down those wooden slats, the steps lie flat and create a ramp. If you need to fold the whole unit flat, you would just put it in the ramp position and then fold the legs underneath it.

Yes the legs do fold so it becomes flat and you can store it. But be careful you don't catch your fingers because the legs do not lock.

I function on a senior level. I have not noted problems with the chair wanting to tip. I think it would require a significant effort to do that. The legs are fairly wide and seem stable. I guess if you were extra heavy it could happen. As with any chair one could slide off, but I don't see that is very likely here either.

Yes it does folds in half. Very comfortable chair. Spent 12 house a day in chair during vacation held up well. Hope that helps.

No it does not fold up. I thought this would be an inconvenience but its really not because it converts into a standard height chair as well. I have moved the seat down and sat on it myself many times. I got this for my son when he was 3. He is now 6 & still uses it, telling me, "mommy, that's MY chair." I have just lowered the seat as he's gotten taller.

Not at first, but fine once you get used to it! You have to flip the chair upside down and pull the metal legs together in order for it to fold up.

It does not collapse or fold for transporting in vehicle. I don't have it with me now to see how easy it is to take it apart for transporting and then reassembling it at destination. For general comments I found the chair a little flimsy/shaky.

No. It should only be 10" tall and it does not fold out it is only a 10" tall step ladder.

Short answer is NO. We've had these for more than a few months.....the chairs get moved all of the time, and we have seen no problems. Considering the cost I feel this is a true bargain!
