Fixed or reclining seat?

Does anyone have any advice on which is better/more comfortable for baby - the fixed type seat units where the whole thing tips, or a seat that has a reclining back so it goes flat(ish)? Been looking at the Silver Cross Wayfarer but just not sure whether the seat unit will be comfortable when reclined as it looks like baby will be in a slightly unnatural position. A lot of pushchairs have a fixed seat though so wanted to hear some views from mums who have experience with this.

Also how important is it to have an adjustable foot rest? Wayfarer doesn't have this either but not sure if it really makes much of a difference.

Which would you prefer?
I know I would rather be sat in a seat which tilts back, and my legs get raised, than be bent in half at the waist to lie flat!
I know mums who go completely the other way though and say they want their LOs laid flat after 6 months to nap. I dont like that you have to extend the harnesses to lie a child flat either. In a bucket seat, the childs harness doesnt alter.
I prefer a pushchair with an adjustable footrest but I have had many pushchairs with fixed footrests. Its not a deal breaker for me - all the bigger Bugaboo's have fixed footrests.

Personal preference imo. I like a lie flat for under ones then a bucket seat for older children. But tbh both look pretty comfy to me. Adjustable legrest not a major issue here either, nice to have but if not.... meh.
