Default Maclaren vs Peg perego - Who has the more upright upright position?

So P3 vs Maclaren triumph or quest. Which has a more verticle upright position?

P3. Mac's are engineered to recline more, even at the most upright position. It places the weight at the low-back of the stroller. It is why they steer so well.

Doesn't the P3 have a flatter seat where the kid can "sit upright" on their own with the tray - not really using the seatback?

FWIW, if you stuff a lot of items into the Triumph's basket, it will push the seatback pretty far fwd. DS loves sitting really far up when I do that.

P3 by far. And, yes, the PP is correct, the seat bottom is flat and supported and the Pegs have the floating harness, so the child can still be harnessed, but isn't firmly attached to the seatback like in the Macs (and most other strollers).

For some reason my son (he's almost one) slumps more in the P3 than he does in my Ryder with the legrest up. I don't know if he slumps down to prop his feet on the tray, but I was noticing this the other day, and was surprised.
