My son is 5 months old and am still deciding between a Zippy and SC Camden. Thought I'd go to moms with toddlers for best advice. Only concern about SC Camden is its short seat. What age is leg rest for? Am I past it with him being 5 months? Is it even important anyway>

My kids are 2 and 5. The 2 year old is tall, and most of the time doesn't need the legrest. At times though he falls asleep, and I then like the legrest. Even if I just recline him and cross his legs to keep them up, he looks much, much more comfy that way then reclined with legs dangling down. Around 3.5 my dd was tall enough and rarely slept in the stroller that it no longer mattered.

My very tall guy used the leg rest full-time until he was about 15-16 months old - he was just more comfy that way. He doesn't sleep in the stroller, but if he did, we would still use it. IMO, a leg rest is essential for all babies but not necessarily for a toddler.
