Can you elevate the footrest when baby is sleeping?

Yes, even if your baby sleeps lightly. The only way to elevate the footrest is to push down on the handlebar so that the front wheel comes off the ground. This will tip the baby backwards and make him or her even more comfortable while sleeping.

No. It cannot be used without the footrest. If this is important an feature you could instead buy the Roma chair, which has 4 reclining positions and also purchase the Roma Ottoman for resting your feet.

My son is 3, and does not use the footrest. He glides quite a bit by balancing with his feet hovering over the ground, so the footrest is not really helpful to him right now, but it's certainly not hurting anything, either.

Yes. The height/length of the footrests are adjustable. There are spring detents as the footrest tube slides into each other to shorten the length or slide out of each other to increase the length.

You're not supposed to do that because of a SIDS risk, BUT I've heard of people putting it under the fitted sheet and propping the infant up that way. Hope this helps and Good luck :)

The leg rests can be adjusted for length but do not raise and lower...I had to buy separate leg rests that raise up, Amazon sells them for $50.

Hi, When my baby is asleep I recline the seat. That is usually enough. I also sometimes tuck a small stuffed animal next to his head and under his chin a bit to prop him up. There are three recline positions. One is sitting up straight, two is leaning back, three is leaning way back at about a 60 degree angle. It says in the instructions not to use the three position while facing forward, However I do use it when he is sleeping and he is quite comfortable that way.

I don't know because I didn't use it that way . I just used it to elevate my foot on top of the mattress after a foot reconstruction and on top of the couch

Frequently my Mom (who I bought this for) does not use the foot rests either - the one that I purchased does allow us to take the foot rests off entirely. Hope that helps!!

I have a 7month old and he is able to nap laying flat in the seat. I think it's pretty flat. I don't know how much leg support there is for older toddlers since mine is only 7month old!

No, the chair doesn't glide when the foot rest is extended. I didn't know the answer to that, had to go try it out. I love the chair otherwise. Perfect for a napping 10 month old.

Short answer is yes. I found a footrest to be very helpful for longtime standing comfort.

Hello,The foot rests swing away and are detachable, but the legrest does not elevate. Model # MDS806450 has the same features but includes the elevating legrests. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

Yes It comes with foot rest. The foot pad moves up. It does not swing out of the way.

Yes! But the baby is in a reclining position still, you can raise it to an incline but it is never fully upright like a highchair! My daughter never uses the bassinet with it but loves that she can see her baby as she pushes her!

The footrest was one of the reasons my hubby chose this one for our three year old, but honestly, I have never seen him use it. He likes to keep his feet out as he glides. He's been using it for about a year now.

The only adjustment is the length of the footrest from knee to bottom of the foot. They do not elevate.
