Travel seat for almost 4 y/o

Hi all,
I have a son that will be 4 in July. He apparently gained weight within the past month or so and is now 39-40 lbs and about 39 inches high. I was going to use our scenera for an upcoming flight and vacation, but now it seems as if he has outgrown it! Any suggestions?

He's usually in a Frontier or a Marathon or FPSVD. We took the Marathon on a trip once and it was hell to lug through the airplane aisle so I imagine the frontier would be 10X worse.
Thanks!!

The Evenflo Maestro might work. It's a harnessed booster, harness to 50# with fairly tall harness slots. Retails for $80

Another option would be a Ride Safer Travel Vest. They are small enough to carry on the plane with you. At his age/weight I'd be fine with him in just a seatbelt on the plane, though if you wanted you could add a CARES (for up to 48 lbs., plane use only.)

Along the same lines there is the Safety 1st Go (not FAA approved, requires a top tether, easier to install with LATCH rather than seatbelt, a bit bigger but lightweight and comes with carry bag.)
