Okay I decided to purchase the extra seat/ticket for my son and take my Britax Boulevard along when I found out that the Boulevard is 19.5 inches wide and the coach seats are just barely over 17 inches wide.
So.... I am back to buying a new car seat!

I have loved my Britax but am open to other brands. So what car seats will fit into coach airplane seats? My baby is 30 pounds.

The boulevard will fit no problem on the airline seat. The width of it is above the armrest... I've had my Marathon on the airline with no issues whatsoever.

The Boulevard should actually fit fine. You may have to raise the armrests to get it in, but lots of people have traveled with Boulevard/Marathon/Wizard style Britax seats without any trouble at all. I've flown on large and small planes with my Marathons.
