Combi has a side by side double that will fit through a standard doorway; is very quick and easy to break down and not super heavy. It's pretty well balanced, I can put the 5 yr. old next to the 10 mo. old and it doesn't spin; although it is very tough to steer one handed when there is a big weight differential between the passengers. With the 2 yr. old and the 10 mo. old it's no problem. I think it has considerably less mass then the Graco.
With respect to shopping; I think I recall that all Lexlings are 10+ pounds either at birth or within 5 to ten minutes; i.e. Bjorn sized at birth. Can't you put the newborn in the Bjorn; middle child in the kid seat and let oldest walk and/or hang off side of cart?
I tried the backpack once for shopping except that while I was looking at one side of the aisle, my passenger was able to reach the shelving on the opposite side and dropped a half dozen glass pickle jars from the top shelf...MMMmmm, pickle juice.
