How do you transfer into this chair if the arm rests don't fold up?

Very carefully! Note if you buy the chair and decide to return it but its not defective you might be in trouble. You'll have to pay back the shipping cost to you and pay to ship it back plus a %15 restocking fee. This equated to more than half the chair for me. Id double check the shipping policies with amazon before you buy anything like this on here.

just put the chair top on the metal tube with the screws provided. Then just hit the lever and the chair will go up. Do not sit on it while you do this. It needs to inflate before sitting.

Super easy! All you do is press the sides in, fold in the arms, fold and move. It can be done in under a minute.

There is a brown triangle on each side of the chair by the back of the seat. Pull up on both at the same time and it will fold forward

If you take a look at the seat and arm rests, you will see that there are no sides to have to squeeze between. The arm rests fold around. While we purchased this for a person in the household who is less than half that weight, I have loaned it to someone that size and it was successful.If your person is likely to get larger, regular wheelchairs tend to go to 250lbs. You might want to look for the next size up. You should also know that the height of this chair could make legs uncomfortable if the patient is tall. It is designed for ease of transport ... and is more comfortable for that than our fullsize wheelchair according to my mother because of the fabric on the seat.

You don't have to remove the seat to fold but folding is not as easy as the regular travel system. you can check a youtube vedio to get a better idea. I'm returning it because the handbrake is not working well after one month. Otherwise it's great.

It is quite simple. The seat section (when it is a chair) unfolds. The back of the seat you have to ratchet it (pull it) towards the center and it unlocks and falls back flat. Similar to a lawn chair.

It does not collapse or fold for transporting in vehicle. I don't have it with me now to see how easy it is to take it apart for transporting and then reassembling it at destination. For general comments I found the chair a little flimsy/shaky.

Hi, this is my technique, it's awkward: Put the side tray down. Facing the chair, reach down and put your hands on either side of the seat and grasp the aluminum frame. (You are now holding the chair by seat of the chair) Now the action is this: you want to pull up on the side pieces of the chair seat, until your hands touch each other and the chair has folded together. The problem I find is getting the leverage to pull the seat sides upward. My solution is to push the sides of my arms against the chair arms as I'm pulling up on the seat. This is awkward and I look like some weird kind of stork-like bird, I'm sure, but it works for me. My brain can't think of another way to do it. I think I've tried the same move standing behind the chair, but the high back gets in my way. Good Luck! By the way, the colors fade horribly in strong sunlight (I live in the desert). And then the fabric deteriorates. I've been meaning to write Amazon about it. But everybody loves the chairs and finds them comfortable. Good Luck!

Make sure the horizontal stabilizing bar is up, pull the seat up in the middle and the chair folds right up. Never had any problem. If your chair is particularly tight right out of the box, maybe put a small drop of lubricant on each joint?

Very easy after you do it once. There's a handle in the center of the seat on that you just pull up and it folds in half - super easy!

Hi! the chair can not be folded. You could take it apart and store it but it would be a hassle to put it together again.

You don't need to assemble it. Just remove the strap holding it tight and unfold it. Try pushing outward against the armrests.

step 1, take the pillow off and unzip the zippers. Inside are 2 legs, lift them outstep 2, unfold that seat partstep 3, unzip the zipper of the back rest (in the back of the chair) and take out the 2 legs that are hidden inside there.step 4, fold the back panel inward towards the seat cushion of the chair. It will click and then you will be able to put it down flat.(when putting it back together into the chair, make sure to pull the leg toward you, it releases the spring and then you can fold it. )Hope this helps, let me know if you need further help
