# There's a dispute whether one shouldn't or shouldn't lean during Karpas and it's preferable not to lean, but one if one wants one is permitted. <ref> There's a dispute in the Rishonim if one should lean during Karpas. Shibolei HaLeket (92b) writes that one shouldn't lean (probably for the reason that Karpas represents slavery and leaning represents freedom). However, Avudraham writes that one should lean during Karpas [perhaps the reasoning is that it's a mitzvah of the night and has some resemblance of freedom; see R. Moshe Shternbuch, Moadim U'Zmanim 7:183 who says that the Rambam would agree with the Avudraham]. The majority of Achronim including Mateh Moshe 625, Birkei Yosef 673:14, Shulchan Gavoha 673:29. Gra in Kiseh Eliyahu 673:4, and Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach vol 2 pg 40) rule like the Shibolei HaLeket and so one doesn't need to lean. Nonetheless, since by Maror is one wants one can lean (Bet Yosef 675, Magan Avraham, and Mishna Brurah 675:14), one is certainly allowed to lean during Karpas. </ref>

==Bracha==
# When one makes the bracha on the Karpas, one should have in mind to cover the Maror. <ref> Mishna Brurah 473:55 </ref>
# It's preferable that one person make the bracha for everyone and everyone can listen. However, if the one making the Bracha doesn't say the words accurately or won't have the proper intent to fulfill everyone else, everyone should make their own bracha. <ref> Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach vol 2 pg 35) </ref>
