Does the footrest go up without reclining the chair? Is it multi-positional?

When the footrest is up, the chair is then in a mode where it is able to recline to nearly horizontal. You don't have to recline, you can use the footrest in a standard seated position. If you extend the footrest up via the lever, then you may or may not recline. No, the footrest does not have multiple levels. I hope this helps...

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.

It is possible to have the footrest up without reclining, however, shifting your body can make it start to fall back. There's nothing that really locks the back in a position to keep it from reclining. I've found that as I sit in the chair with the footrest up, the back will slowly start to go back when I shift or move. It's not hard to adjust, though, to bring it back up to where I want it. I've also found that putting a pillow behind my head while having the back fully reclined, gives me a chance to see the TV, but I often fall asleep in that position.

The answer is "kind of". You can have the footrest up and not be fully reclined. But you are somewhat reclined. For instance I'm in the chair right now sitting up watching TV but too far back to eat if I wanted to lean over my plate. Note that if you are a heavy person the chair back might recline whether you like it or not. The angle is controlled by your body pressure, not a lever. You pull the lever to get the footrest up, then use your back pressure to adjust the angle of recline. I'm 150 pounds and it's not a problem, but I read other reviews on here where people said their husbands are heavy so the back goes back when they put the footrest up.

Yes the footrest goes up without reclining ... once it is up you are locked from rocking and it reclines just a bit. Yes it is multi-positional you can lay back in almost a flat position.

Yes.. The seat reclines. 1 straight up normal position and 2 recline positions. Great seat. I bought 2!

Yes, this chair reclines, not the highest quality though. Good luck & Enjoy!

The recliner is essentially a glider and so the chair itself does not recline. Instead it rocks back and forth or ratherit "glides". The same is true for the footrest.---It is a comfortable combination and well worth the price.

No the foot rest is not adjustable. This is a great light weight wheel chair. If you purchase, you may want to consider a foam pad to sit on.

There are 2 different versions of this chair, one with the foot rest (shown), one without. I ordered the one with the footrest, returned it (too high). bought the other one, works perfectly for a desk.

You can control the backrest independent of the footrest. The back can be adjusted to have only a slight recline. It is not truly straight up but may feel that way.

no! When the foot rest comes up the back goes down slightly until the foot rest is all the way up then it reclines as far as you want it.

The footrest is attached....but on the chair I received, it was not level so I returned the chair and got a much better quality one for less money at Pier 1.

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

Yes, this chair reclines to a laying down position with feet elevated. It is very comfortable.

The foot rest folds up toward the seat. It gets out of the way for getting in and out of the chair, but is a bit awkward compared to a traditional chair foot rest.

No it doesn't. I m bit that happy with the seat. It has no recline even the tray can be set to different positions but I was never able to do that either

This chair only has one reclining position. It will not recline far enough for you to have your legs above your heart. Hope this answers your question.

The seat does not recline but maybe you can getan extended foot rest fabricated somewhere?

Yes but not too much. The footrests move in or more out. Great chair all around ...

No, it has only one position that is reclined. It's sort of a gentle cradling the baby's body; not quite flat but not sitting either.
