if you are the person sitting the chair can you change positions when you are sitting in the chair? and how? is it a handle on side like a recliner?

Not much. There is a release handle attached to the push bar at the top of the back of the chair that must be gripped to change the position more than a tiny bit. The chair is designed for someone who wouldn't be making those changes himself/herself. I bought it for my 97-year-old mother, who has Alzheimer's disease. She finds it comfortable. I wish that I had bought the version that has the lap table that can be attached at the front.

No handle on the side. The person sitting In the chair cannot position the chair. The chair is intended to be operated by another person standing in back of chair where there is a bar across the back out of reach from person sitting in chair.

No. It can only be operated by another person. There is a bar in the back only

The person in the chair cannot operate the chair. We didn't keep puts for that reason. There is no handle on the side. There is only a bar on the back that has to be operated by someone standing in back of the chair b

This chair is very user friendly... when you fold it up to a sitting position, the arms just pop into place... nothing special you have to do... very easy to manipulate into position. Hope this helps!

I am not too sure of this as I have not reclined the chair as yet. I usually just sit in the chair in the upright posistion. I do like this chair and would buy it again.

The back reclines but the adjustment must be made by someone standing behind the chair. It cannot be done by the person sitting in the chair. I should add that it is very easy for the person standing behind the chair to make the adjustment.

Larry, I thought I would try it on our chair, which in love......I accidentally pulled the back into the higher position too!! Lol. I can't figure it out either! Lol. Now I will have to follow this to get my chair back to the right spot. This is all too funny!

Yes, each chair has a knob that you twist, but as for mine they do not work that great. I twist the knob to lock the chair into position, and the chair does not stay in a fixed position, even the slightest movement will cause the chair to lose a fixed position. Occurs with both chairs.

It has a lever on the right side which allows you to adjust the recline to several different positions. Also, the height adjustment goes higher than many chairs you may have encountered before. For me, this is a big plus!

Chair does not sit upright. You could put you feet down on the sides to keep from reclining, but it would not be comfortable and you would be lower to the ground than a regular chair. That side, we have frequently reclined in our chairs and happily conversed with people in upright chairs.

The chair has a handle on the right side. You can't kick out the footrest with your legs. But you can close the foot rest with your legs.

I don't believe so. There is a handle on the right side of the chair (under the arm) that I use to recline the chair.

The chair will lean back with a spring tensioner. You may also diable the recline feature by locking the lever under char.

When you're in the chair, use your right hand & push the lever down. Once you've done that, lock the position by pulling up on the same lever.

The handle does not adjust up or down. You can switch which side it's on by switching the side you attach the chair back.

Yes. Just reach back and move it into the position you want. No need to get out of the chair.

yes the chair reclines and yes the chair could be manually locked into position by screwing it down using the handle.

Yes! The front tray slides out and it is adjustable. The chair itself has three reclining positions

Yes to both questions. I have only used it on the ground and have successfully adjusted the straps while in the chair. Just loosen the straps a bit slide into the chair and tug on the straps to adjust your reclIne position.
