On the back of the seat, under the "mommy pouch", you will find two straps threaded through a plastic cinch. Tightening & loosening the straps raise & lower the seat. Google BOB Motion demos and watch the videos. I think Baby Gizmo has a good one that shows you how to adjust the seat. Hope this helps:)

There are straps behind that activates the recline, so pulling them up to maximum. It's not 90 degrees anyway.

sit on the seat, pull the handle up & slowly (kinda) get up. the seat height will rise until you let go of the handle.

I believe you're supposed to keep it more reclined (there is a leveler line on the base), more like an infant seat. Besides, if you make it more upright, there is nowhere for the legs to go.

Just hold the back of the chair and with the other hand grab the front of the seat and pull upward, it is a little tight but it works. Great chair

We don't seem to have this problem. Be sure all the packing tape has been removed, and also if you put down the stablelizing bar, that you put it up to close. We just pull up on the seat and push in. Hope you have better luck.

Make sure that when you tighten the one bolt you keep the one on the other side from turning. Two adjustable wrenches will help with that. Hold the one side still while you tighten the other. Tighten until the seat no longer wigles. I had not problems, other than I remember it took quite a few turns to get it tight. good luck. Oh, by the way, if you contact the manufacturer, they are VERY helpfull.

Also, be sure you're wiggling at the back. The front/top will move regardless. When testing your car seat for proper tension it should be at the point closest to the angle of your back seat.

There is a lever below the seat on the left hand side near the back. Push the lever forward to release the seat and then when the seat is where you want it, push the lever to the back to secure the seat.

Unlock the seat by pulling up on the adjusting bar to the right of the seat. After it is in the desired position, push down to lock it in place.

I had my husband line it up next to the end of the couch. I then stood up and used the arm of the couch to steady me. I swung my bad foot over the seat and sat down. took practice. got off the same way. rode to the arm of the couch and used it like a crutch. good luck!

I just purchased and received this chair and I'm having the same problem with the back of the chair slowly falling back flat when the footrest is up, I figured out that if I don't put the footrest up the back of the chair is locked in place and doesn't move...soooooo.....I went on Amazon and purchased an Ottoman footrest for those times when I want the back of the chair to stay put.

there is a stick level on the rt side of the chair. when u lift the level it up, the chair will go higher as u wanted it be. when lower the sit down, make sure u sit on it and then pull the level up to go down. any question let me know ok.

I agree it's a little tricky. Try pulling up from the lowest part of the seat...just a little bit, and then you can push down from the top part of the seat. Another way is to grab the center of the middle bar in the back, (just below the seat) and at the same time pull up from the bottom of the seat.I also bought another one which is much easier to use.

The 2 screws hold the back rest fabric on the steel uprights. If you slide the backrest fabric up a little bit, you'll see 2 holes in the steel uprights. Slide the fabric back down and run the screws through the fabric into the steel upright posts. This will keep the fabric from falling off when carrying the chair in the folded position.

Just pull up on the level below the seat and it will move down as you seat down.

The hydraulic plunger that adjusts the seat height would not lock in the 'up' position. I had to install a rigid tube around the plunger to keep it in the 'up' position of 20". Ah, but what can you expect for $65?

Initially I had the same problem. I turned the base upside down and straddled it to give myself maximum downward pressure on the caster. I put a very small amount of liquid dish soap on the end of the caster and I was able to rock the caster side to side until it slipped into position. My wife loves the chair--hope this help you. Best wishes.
