LOL! Yes! My first thought was, “That is NOT a baby!”

A 50 pound 2 year old is not healthy...no matter what growth spurt they may be in.

That wasn't what I was saying, I'm saying the OP may have a new toddler or infant and be wrongly assuming the kid's growth will continue linearly, not understand how much it slows.

This reminds me of a Maury Show episode where the guest was a huge baby. He was sitting around in only a diaper eating a drumstick and grease was dripping down his face and streaming over his rolls of fat.

...to preschool and kindegarten!

At that point they used a scooter, bike, or one of those ride on bikes that the parent is also able to push. If this is a SN issue, you will definitely find some great help over on the SN forum. Otherwise, a child who weighs 50 pounds is old enough to walk or use another form of transportation other than a stroller.

I mean that is what the subject line says...

Hahaha I had to find out more about this giant baby.

My 7 year old weighs 50 lbs so you probably don’t need a stroller. They do have special needs strollers , though, that my friends use for their disabled child that have much higher weight limits. Also , my 10 and 7 year olds push each other in my youngest child’s stroller when they’re messing around outside and nothing has ever happened to it so I wouldn’t worry much about the limit, either.

Their own feet.

My 7 year old is just shy of 50 lbs!

My tall 1st grader doesn’t weigh 50lb. He can also run a mile and can ride a scooter or a bike.

I think the Bob is good up to 60lbs. My 4yo weighs 44lbs and occasionally sits in the foot area while my 25lb 2yo is strapped in. It rolls fine. But she also walks 5 miles without protest, so, yeah, unless there's a special need at play I'd work on walking stamina.

+1.
