I have a 38 lb 4 year old who likes a place to sit when we're out all day and a 23 lb 16 month old. We've been using a Phil and Teds and we love it, but DS1 is getting pretty tall for it and DS2 is not really in love with sitting in back anymore.

I also have a Valco twin, but it's a bit big for travel and shoving in the car all time.

What would be perfect at this point is a sit and stand style, but the only ones I've been able to try are horrible to push.

We had a Maclaren twin and I hate it. I have a bugaboo and a wheeled board, but DS1 is getting a bit tall for the frog. I'm almost ready to contemplate a cameleon just for that, but I don't love the bugaboo that much.

Any ideas?

Gosh, I was just saying tonight how much we're loving our Bugaboo. DD needed straps for the past year, and we've gotten good use out of our BJCED. Recently, I haven't felt like getting it in/out of the car (pg related exhaustion), so we've been using the Cameleon with the wheeled board. I put the seat on reversed, so the stander (DD) and the rider (DS) can face each other and crack up. We have such fun with it.

the bjcmd is lightweight and easy to push -- with great canopies and an amazingly easy fold that is relatively compact.

A lady told me her 3.5 yr old barely fits in it, so I'd check it out in person.
