I have a 7 mth old and 2 year old. I purchased this stroller because the side by side double I had was too wide for some places and for a near future trip to mexico with narrow sidewalks. My 27lb average height 2 year old is almost too big for the front and it does not recline. The back does recline and it holds him better but i dont see how anywhere near 50lbs can sit in each of the seats in this stroller. It doesnt latch well when folded so i almost dropped it and smashed my fingers every time I have tried to put it into the trunk of my car. The front tray is hard to remove and very flimsy when attached. The handle sits pretty high but that isnt much of an issue, just an FYI. It is shorter than most tandem doubles and does have the huge wheels good for bumps etc. It has its perks and negatives. I guess you just cant have the perfect stroller, I sure was sick of looking for one!
