A folding chair includes handle frames and front and rear legs configured to support the chair in an upright position. The front legs are pivotally attached to the rear legs. The folding chair also includes a footrest positioned between the two front legs. The footrest includes base portions attached to the two front legs and raised portions positioned between the base portions. The slots in the raised portions allow the raised portions to move with respect to the base portions. The footrest is folded as the folding chair is folded.

1. A folding chair, comprising: two front legs and two rear legs configured to support the chair in an upright position;a footrest positioned between the two front legs, the footrest including base portions attached to the two front legs and raised portions positioned between the base portions, and the base portions include pins configured to move in slots in the raised portions;two handle frames;two first upper sliders configured to slide along the handle frames;an upper X frame including two upper X frame members pivotally connected to each other at respective intermediate portions, each upper X frame member being pivotally connected to one of the first upper sliders and to one of the rear legs;two second lower sliders attached to side frames and configured to slide along the front legs;a lower X frame including two lower X frame members pivotally connected to each other at respective intermediate portions, each lower X frame member being pivotally connected to one of the second lower sliders and attached to one of the rear legs; andtwo pivot frames linked to the second sliders and pivotally attached to the rear legs,wherein, when the folding chair is in an unfolded position, the pins of the base portions abut against outer edges of the slots and, when the folding chair is in a folded position, the pins of the base portions abut against inner edges of the slots. 2. The folding chair according to claim 1, wherein the base portions of the footrest are fixedly attached to the two front legs at outer ends of the base portions and, when the folding chair is in the folded position, inner ends of the base portions abut. 3. The folding chair according to claim 1, wherein each of the base portions of the footrest includes one of the pins positioned in one of the slots of the raised portion. 4. The folding chair according to claim 1, wherein the base portions of the footrest are positioned lower than the raised portions in a vertical direction. 5. The folding chair according to claim 1, wherein the raised portions are attached via a hinge, and an axis of the hinge is offset and above axes of the pins such that the footrest folds in an upward direction. 6. The folding chair according to claim 1, wherein each of the slots is seven-sixteenths of an inch in length. 7. A folding chair, comprising: two front legs and two rear legs configured to support the chair in an upright position;a footrest positioned between the two front legs, the footrest including base portions attached to the two front legs and raised portions positioned between the base portions, and the base portions include pins configured to move in slots in the raised portions;two handle frames;two first upper sliders configured to slide along the handle frames;an upper X frame including two upper X frame members pivotally connected to each other at respective intermediate portions, each upper X frame member being pivotally connected to one of the first upper sliders and to one of the rear legs;two second lower sliders attached to side frames and configured to slide along the front legs;a lower X frame including two lower X frame members pivotally connected to each other at respective intermediate portions, each lower X frame member being pivotally connected to one of the second lower sliders and attached to one of the rear legs;two pivot frames linked to the second sliders and pivotally attached to the rear legs; andlateral portions pivotally attached to the side frames and the rear legs; anda seat attached to the lateral portions and the two handle frames, wherein the seat is folded when the folding chair is in a folded position. 8. The folding chair according to claim 7, further comprising: a canopy frame attached to the two pivot frames, wherein the canopy frame is folded when the folding chair is in the folded position. 9. A method of folding a chair including two front legs and two rear legs configured to support the chair in an upright position, a footrest positioned between the two front legs, the footrest including base portions attached to the two front legs and raised portions positioned between the base portions, and the base portions include pins configured to move in slots in the raised portions, two handle frames, two first upper sliders configured to slide along the handle frames, an upper X frame including two upper X frame members pivotally connected to each other at respective intermediate portions, each upper X frame member pivotally connected to one of the first upper sliders and to one of the rear legs, two second lower sliders attached to side frames and configured to slide along the front legs, a lower X frame including two lower X frame members pivotally connected to each other at respective intermediate portions, each lower X frame member pivotally connected to one of the second lower sliders and attached to one of the rear legs, and two pivot frames linked to the second sliders and pivotally attached to the rear legs, the method comprising: detaching the two lower X frame members from the rear legs;pivoting a top portion of the handle frames toward a front of the chair;sliding the first upper sliders upward along the handle frames and sliding the second lower sliders downward along the front legs so that the handle frames, the front legs, and the rear legs become substantially parallel in their length directions;collapsing the upper X frame members and the lower X frame members about their intermediate pivot points so that the two handle frames move toward each other, the two front legs move toward each other, and the two rear legs move toward each other; androtating the two handle frames towards front wheels attached to the front legs until inner ends of the base portions of the footrest abut.
