+1 on the twin-leg kickstand. My life with rear-mounted kid seat got lots easier after I installed one.
Also +1 on a step through. A Rivendell Yves Gomez might be my choice if I could appropriate the $1200ish for the frame. The '85 Raleigh I've been using is just barely short enough that I can step over the horizontal top bar. (IMO, leg-over-bars routine would be near impossible unless your bars are very low)
