Help me decide which seat to travel with

I have to fly to the east coast next week for a family funeral. I will likely be taking DD#3 (2years 11months, 34.8 lbs) with me. A family member will be picking me up at the airport, probably in 07/08 Toyota Yaris Sedan. 40 minute drive from airport to her house, 1 1/2 -2 hr drive from house to funeral.

These are the seats I have available:

Radian 80SL (her primary seat - RF)
Truefit (secondary seat - FF)
Scenera -older model 35lb RF (this was our RF travel seat but she still fits FF)
Nautilus

Obviously, my top choices are the Radian or the Scenera. Although I hate the idea of carrying the radian through the airport, it would be nice to RF her at our destination. But will the radian even fit RF in a Yaris? Both driver and passenger are rather tall. 5 people will be riding in the car to the funeral. I have always liked flying with the scenera because it is lightweight and easy to install but she would have to FF.

I will also be bringing a Maclaren Volo.


So ... throw some opinions at me .... :)

I would take the Scenera if it were me.

So sorry for your loss. :(. And I hope you have a safe trip.

Thanks. I guess I was leaning toward the scenera too but i'm just nervous about her being ff in such a small car during highway/ country road driving.

with the back seat room being what it is in the yaris, and the fact of lugging a seat around... I'd take the scenera... remember, she's already safer than most kids her age just by still being harnessed.
