XP: ? for sit'n'stand type stroller owners

I am thinking about getting a sit'n'stand.  I have the P&T double right now but DS is so heavy that when DD hops out, it can tip backwards if not counterweighted.  And the girl doesn't want to stay in there all the time but wants in and out.  So thinking about a sit'n'stand of some sort.  Just wondering if you can tell me about these things:*  sun-shade for the back sit/stand part.  IOW, will DD have some shade or out in the open?*  does the front recline so if DS starts snoozing he is back a little bit or must he remain fully upright all the time so DD can get in and out of the back?* how heavy/bulky is it?Any other features to think about or brand recs you can give me would be appreciated.  TIA!!!

    We have a Joovy Ultralight. 

    *  sun-shade for the back sit/stand part.  IOW, will DD have some shade or out in the open? The shade goes both towards the front and back and shades both pretty well - less on the back than the front, of course.

    *  does the front recline so if DS starts snoozing he is back a little bit or must he remain fully upright all the time so DD can get in and out of the back?  You can recline the front a little bit.  It makes it less comfortable on the back, but the girls can still get on it as needed.  We still have DS in his infant seat on the front.  To put that on, you don't need to recline the back (and shouldn't), so there's plenty of room for the girls.

    * how heavy/bulky is it?  Not much bigger/heavier than my single stroller.  In fact, it might be even lighter.  Definitely smaller than my old double stroller that I sold on CL when DD#2 stopped wanting to ride in it either.  Fits easily through all doors, in handicap bathroom stalls, etc.

      I  have the basic Baby Trend Sit N Stand. *  sun-shade for the back sit/stand part.  IOW, will DD have some shade or out in the open? No sunshade for the back child. *  does the front recline so if DS starts snoozing he is back a little bit or must he remain fully upright all the time so DD can get in and out of the back? It does recline partially. It was always enough for my son to sleep without slumping. It also leaves plenty of room for the back child when reclined. * how heavy/bulky is it? It's bigger than a basic travel system stroller, but smaller than most doubles. The sun shade makes it take up a bit more room folded because it sticks out and it does not stand on it's own folded. Any other features to think about or brand recs you can give me would be appreciated.  I actually preferred the cheaper Baby Trend stroller to the Joovy because it has a parent tray and I love my cup holders! Plus it has a bigger storage basket which is nice for zoo trips.  But the Joovy looks nicer. I'm happy with mine for the price. I picked it up brand new for under $100 after shipping and tax.  TIA!!!
