- The chair is easily folded by grasping the front of the seat and the balance bar handles on the seat back; pull the seat up towards the back and the chair will smoothly close, (sometimes it is a bit stiff to start off), leaving a small foot print of just 19" (48cm) wide and 9" (23cm) deep. The chair is freestanding when folded.
- You can leave the posture prop on when folding the chair, but unclip the step, if attached
- To move the chair to storage area, gently tip back the chair and allow the transport wheels (on rear legs) to make contact with the floor then carefully pull chair to desired storage position.
