Can the footrests be removed completely

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.

Yes. They are built to swing away or be removed completely. Much like most typical chairs.

Oh yes, very easily in fact. Also, It has a convenient release which allows each footrest to fold back

Absolutely. This is an easy thing to do. In fact, my husband uses the chair in the house without the footrests and leaves them in the car for use when out.

Hi, Ida--I don't use the footrest either. Yes, the entire metal part that supports the footrests comes off for both legs, leaving just the chair and comfortable space for your legs. I'll add that I'm extremely happy with this chair all around. It's comfortable, lightweight, sturdy, and does its job well. I highly recommend it, especially for the price. Good luck!

Not without some modification. The casters are drilled into the leg of the chair; the casters could possibly be removed; however, if you did that, you would need to do something to the bottom of the leg. In my opinion, it might weaken the integrity of the bottom of the leg. I woudn't do it. These chairs are extremely well constructed.

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.

No they are an integral part of the chair. Update: I assumed in my answer you meant "completely" removed from the chair, the armrests are zippered so you can remove/replace the stuffing.

I'm not sure. I sent this to my Granddaughter and I know she loves it but have no idea if the feet can be removed. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question.

If you are referring to the padded leg supports which is part of the leg rest I would answer that they are not removable. However, the whole leg rest unit consisting of the padded leg supports and foot rests is removable. They are very easy to take off the chair and put back on! This is a very nice chair and very well made! It is very comfortable!

While putting it together, you just omit the footrest. If you already put it together and actually want to remove it, you need to disengage the gas lift by hitting the parts apart with a rubber mallot. Seems harsh, but I did it...see my review.

They can be removed without causing any problems. You just have to turn a knob under each arm and they will come right off. You can also just skip the step installing them without harming the chair.

Hi Brandes, No, the footrest length is fixed. The foot rests do swing out of the way and do come off the chair completely. Hope this helps.

Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling. However, for everyday use it is not substantial. My Dad is very small and no where close to the weight limit on the chair but it has broken and been replaced once and the replacement chair doesn't appear to be any more substantial than the original one. The company was very quick to send us a replacement when the first chair broke but the second one's left handle is very loose, as the first was, and I am scared that it will break in the same place as the first. We had the first for about 6 weeks when it broke. Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling.

Yes, the backrest can be removed. It is the last thing that is put on when it is being assembled, so if you aren't going to be sitting on the walker, it can be removed.

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 loading into a car. My mother is 94 and she prefers to sit in the wheelchair when out in her room than in a regular chair.

Yes, you can remove them but not very easy. May need some tools to remove completely

Ida:The metal footrests come off simply be pressing a lever and lifting it off. Takes a minuite to remove both
