What is the straightest it will sit up? ... eg, for meditation purposes, will the back go up to a completely upright position?

If you notice the head rest in the picture it's sticks out slightly. In the most up-right position that front of the head rest forms about a 90 degree angle with the bottom. Because it sticks out, the means the rest of the back rests at about an 85 degree angle with the base.

My son uses this for gaming, but from what I've seen, it is very similar to a chaise lounge (lawn chair), and you can sit pretty upright...it adjusts the same way--if you push it too forward, it goes straight down (again like a lawn chair).

I am not a yoga person, but the chair does not lock at a 90 degree angle. Almost, but not quite.

I have always used it sitting up. I would think it works best that way, but honestly I don't know about lying down with it. I do think you have to be sortof careful not to overinflate it, as you can easily put too much pressure on your cervical spine.

It does not sit completely upright, but I have certainly been able to converse with people sitting next to me in regular, upright chairs. The chair is so awesome that the people will not want to converse, they will want to take your spot in the chair :)

It does sit straight up! But protection your child will have! It is huge! We love it, because we know she's protected well in it! She appears very comfortable and has no problem sleeping when riding! She has ridden over 800 miles with no problems!

No... It sits back a bit when u put it completely completely up. It also has a strap in the back so u can recline it back to whatever degree you want it!

It does stand straight because there is a metal frame in the chair. It's does a few reclining positions.

John,It will stay upright. You can not push it all the way down so it lies flat. Hope this helps.

The seat lays flat. I will say it seems to not sit all the way up though. It always is a bit reclined in the seated position no matter how much you tighten the back straps.

Are you asking how to put it in a reclining position? Start with it completely flattened, and as you lift the back, there are several position levels, from most reclined to 90 degree position. If you want to go back to a more reclined position, you push the back forward from the 90 degree level, and then pull it backward to its flattened state and start over.

I sit upright. It's similar to any chair. Very comfortable- in fact I will sit on it even when not biking!

The seat remains stationary. Only the back can be moved. I use a yoga block to bring the seat height up when I need. Still a fantastically built and solid product. Very happy with it

Yep. It will just sit a little high on the back. It will still be stable though.

When the chair is in the upright sitting position, the bottom of the chair is slightly tilted.....the back portion sits about 8 1/2 inches from ground and the front portion sits about 11 1/2 inches from ground. This chair sits a little higher compared to others.

It can be put in a straight position, if so desired. however, it can be in a reclining one or any other you choose

We kind of tilted it sideways and put the "legs" in first then the back. I strongly recommend you get an ottoman with this chair if you are using it in a nursery, because of the low back and narrow with it is not as comfortable nursing purposes as we had hoped. The Ottoman would give you a way to lean back. As are regular chair is fine, comfortable and good looking, as a nursing care, I would rethink.

William, I haven't moved my foot rest from the original position, so I can't speak to how consistent it is adjusting that feature to different levels. I'm sitting on it as I'm writing this, and the best feature I can recommend is the range of heights the seat will reach. The seat adjustment is very durable and consistent. The feature I dislike the most is the lack of locking casters, because when you sit down on it, the shaft spring lets the seat sink an inch or so and springs back up when you get up. If you're on a hardwood floor, this action can cause the stool to "spring" away from you. Hope this helps. :-) William, I haven't moved my foot rest from the original position, so I can't speak to how consistent it is adjusting that feature to different levels.

I dont know if i would trust this unless i could see it, however, it did sit upright. You may also try laying on a plate.
