Are footrests detatchable?

Footrest both swing out to the sides for easy access, or simply lift up to remove. It helps to be able to remove the footrest when loadinginto a car. My mother is 94 and she prefers to sit in the wheelchair when out in her room than in a regular chair.

Does the chair sit close up to tables when you go out to eat without them having to lean in for food?

Yes, with just a flip of a lever. We do not use the footrests very often.The most difficult part for us is the wheel brake. They are very stiff and hard to set with my husband's hand weakness

yes the footrests are detachable. the chair is very sturdy but quite heavy.

Yes, the foot rests can be removed. We take them off frequently. As far as the arm rests, we think they can be removed but we have never had to do this. I wasn't able tp locat the literature to check for you.

I think so because the footrests are fully adjustable. Be sure to order the best fit width size.

So sorry but they do not. But what makes it easy is that the foot rests do come off and they are very easy to put back on. I am the user of the wheelchair and I can do this myself. Hope this helps.

Yes, they both are easily removed. Each footrest sits on 2 pins and you just have to lift it up and off the pins. I remove them all the time to load the chair into my trunk.

I see others answered the question about the wheel locks. My mother uses the chair in a different state and is not in a position to explain the footrest. I recall from using it with her in November that the silver bars that hold the footrests go up and down into the red bars attached to the chair. I do not recall if there was a button or lever but they could definitely be extended.

Never tried to do that but I think not as the foot bar links those side bars together and I don't think the foot pad separates from the bar. Liked this chair when I had my hip replacement but one hole didn't match up exactly and had to get help from the handyman in apt building. He had a tough time too.

There is a Phillips head screw holding the feet on. I'm guessing they are removable...but I haven't tried yet

Yes, you just need to take off the removable leg rests which very easily remove by swinging them to the side after you release them with the hinged latch at the top, inside connection of the leg rests. Very easy, I highly recommend. You can also pop off the armrests which make it lighter, but you don't have to.

Yes the footrests can be removed.We are impressed with the construction of the chair and the portability. I weigh 100 lbs and I easily get the chair in and out of car trunk to take my 180 lb spouse into his doctors' offices.

All recliners have a split between the seat and foot rest or, well, you wouldn't be able to recline. But, the foot rest is one piece, not two as some are.

Yes, they are removable. If you have had a Medline chair before, it has a two-peg attachment that the legs sit on and clip to. We actually replaced these legs with a smaller pair that we had with another wheelchair.

When needed, the foot rests simply fold up and out of the way. There is no need to remove them or have the rider/patient stand. I like this hassle-free, quick change option.

No, in fact the footrest is level with the front edge of the seat cushion. I have the same problem so what I did was mount the footrest upside down, it was too close to the seat cushion for long legged people, then cut a piece of plywood to fit the shape of the footrest and mounted it with screws to extend the footrest outward.
