The Lop breeds are usually pretty mellow. Holland Lops are the smallest, and if bred to standard should not get over 4lbs.
Another excellent choice is the Himalayan which should mature to no more than 4 1/2lbs. They also have a very placid nature. If you have very young children that tend to carry animals without proper support, they are your best choice because they don't have an arched spine. They are a very popular show rabbit with very young Youth exhibitors because of this, and I often see them carried through the showroon like rag dolls.
Rabbits do not always get along well with one another, so you will need to have a separate cage for the new rabbit, at least at first.
