That monstrosity, the Graco Duoglider, seems to be the most populer, but I'd prefer something lighter/less bulky, if possible. I'm not sure what I want exists. Anyone?
BTW, #2 appears to be measuring bigger than the Lexling for the same age (ie. already 6lbs at 32w). Thank god for c-sections.

I have 2 munchkins, age 2 and 3 and I LOVE my Maclaren twin traveller - in fact it is my 3rd double and i wish i had it the day #2 was born. It fits easily through standard doorways, its easy to open and close (automatic locking), fits in the trunk of my old (read small) honda accord. I am almost 6 ft and DH is a half foot plus taller than I and is comfortable pushing it, it has the 2 handles angled inward so your shoulders don't get all out of wack too. It ain't cheap (I found it on the net for $350 with free shipping) but it has been a god-send. nice sturdy wheels for both city (has handled NYC/Boston/DC and Barcelona) and mall walking and the seats are high enough so that my long children still can't drag their feet on the ground...ruining their expensive shoes and slowing me down). It has 5 point strap and head support and duo positions in each seat so it can accommodate both newborns and toddlers (my best friend has a 2 year old and a 3 month old). Its not light - i'd say about 23lbs or so, but its definitely worth it to me. I travel with my kids a lot and I won't go anywhere without it...don't get me started on how un-child friendly airports and airlines are...grrr.....
good luck in you choice
