I have trouble getting the chair in reclining position and back down I thought it was stiff because it was new. Is there something anyone can do ??

didn't work out well for us..wife couldn't assist..couldn't get the sliding seat far enough under the butt at the chair or seat end to do any good..better bet is the "ultra slick" 37" transfer board with a slippy pillow case under butt..better option yet is if she can assist enough with legs is to use a gait belt & do stand & pivot transfers or swing pivot transfers keeping the chair as close as possible to car seat..hope that helps

You have to be able to push back in the chair. It is a little stiff and may become easier after I've had it awhile.

My husband says he had to push down really, really hard. He had trouble too. You're probably afraid of breaking it, but give this a try. Hope it helps! Marilyn

The chair doesn't recline, and the back has very little give, just the natural flex of the chair's frame. It's a comfortable chair, but with one major flaw, at least in mine: It tends to lower itself, often with no one in the seat. There must be a leaky valve in the piston. It's very annoying.[After reading the other answers, I wonder if there are two models of this chair: The adjusting knob on mine seems to do nothing at all. I've tried it tightened all the way, loosened all the way with no difference.]

So so in upright position. In reclining position back is quite comfortable, but legs need to constantly be moved. Also need to remove and replace pillow or head hurts.

You wouldn't be comfortable because of the hard plastic pieces on the back. Sometimes they bother me when I am reclining. Give it a try and find out for yourself how it feels.

I experienced the same thing the first couple of times. Once the table is setup properly for my height, all I have to do is move my arms from my upper body to below my waist. You still need to bend down to unlatch the ankle locks, but your back will feel better after inverting a couple of time and the pressure comes off the nerve. I've had the 4--5 disc removed 20 years ago and experienced nervre pain occassionally, but this has help to eliminate that in two to three inversions.

The chair will lean back with a spring tensioner. You may also diable the recline feature by locking the lever under char.

I'm 72 and it was hard to get used to, but decided to concentrate on me, not it. If I sit back with one hand on the lounger, I know if I just sit, it will be there. we swing awhile, but that's OK. Getting out, I do the same, plant my feet firmly and just get up with the help of the arm rest or edge of lounger. It will swing again, but not hard enough to cause any damage. It would be nice if it was easier, but love my chair anyway.

The only that I found to be any type of an issue (and it was not that bad) was that when using the carrier in the back I was not able to recline that front seat too far back. Just a small bit of advise, is have the heavier kid in the back. It is easier to push that way. I did it the other way once and it was harder. I also put my carrier in the front if kiddo was sleeping so I could recline the back seat all of the way so he could lay down.

I have read in some instructions about recline, but have not figured out how to do it. Sorry.

You need to recline to be comfortable. It is not meant to be used in the upright position.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

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 tried to pull up the back from a prone position using the slats but the mattress is very heavy. Usually I pull the bottom to get it to lay flat and pull the back up from the side of the chair. You need a small distance from the wall so the chair has room to fall. I hope this helps.

That is the tricky part. You are supposed to press the bottoms on the side for it to recline. There are 3 levels. The one that I bought the plastic button keeps getting stuck. I have to use a butter knife to recline it. If you want it in an upright position it slides well. I think mine could just be a defect or the plastic needs some exercise. I should have bought mine from a store for an easy return. I hate mail order returns. So I just deal with it.
