Can the armrest be raised for easy transfers? Thank you in advance

No everything is fixed. Also you need 22.5" clearance into shower. Specs said incorrectly that you only need 21".

Not super easy. No. The anchor hooks take forever until you get used to it. If you choose to just use the seatbelt, it is very easy. I bought mine for the safety, not the convenience. Usually you have to give and take. All in all, I think it was a great decision to buy this one. Like I said, not very easy to transfer from one vehicle to another, but very safe and secure.

Hi. We wondered about this too but ordered anyway. The "elevating legrest" means that those feet supports actually raise up to just about parallel to the wheelchair seat. They do also have calf supports built in, but ours at least were not padded--they are more of a hard plastic. The elevating feature is really helpful for my wife when she needs to rest her legs. In order for the elevated feature to work, we fold the bottom footrest portion out of the way then elevate the leg rests and her legs rest on the calf supports. If we don't fold the foot part out of the way it's too cramped, and she's not a large lady by any means (about 5'4"). These elevating footrests are still removable from the chair too when you need to load it in a car, etc. It has worked out great for us. Hope that info helps. Any specific questions let me knwo and I'll try to answer.

Yes it can be ... You just don't need to fix arm rest which comes as a separate piece.

Yes, but add a seat pad for comfort. Adjustable height and arms add comfort.

Leg rests can go level with seat and maybe slightly higher (10-15% angle higher). Regards,

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.

There are no armrests on the R100. It is a very narrow seat so fitting it next to another seat shouldn't be a problem.

The directions say to raise the seat. It makes it fit more securely. But when in a hurry it really doesn't matter. We use it both ways it's so easy to move my barely 2 yr old can do it herself.

Yes. And it's worth every penny. It's great to have an armrest whether you have an automatic or 6-speed. High quality too. The red stitching matches the stitching on the seats, dash and doors perfectly. Best accessory you'll ever buy for that car.

There is an arm that can be adjusted. You will want to make sure it stays level though.

It is possible for me to rest my arms on the handlebars while seated. However, it is not very comfortable.

My seats don't have armrests, but shouldn't be a problem. Just slip it between the seat and the armrest.

No u can't. U have to be careful about that. The chair is very comfortable but hard for someone to push u in it because of small wheels. Other than that the chair suits my purpose really well. It is light weight and easy for me to get it in and out of the car.

Yes you should be able to. The arm rests mount underneath the seat, so you wouldn't notice if they weren't there.
