Britax for RF air travel with 1 1/2 year old?

Are any of the Britax seats narrow enough and easy to install on an airplane for rear facing use. We are going on a trip in a couple months. My son will be 18 months old and will need a new seat soon. I would like to get one that would work for air travel as well as in our car. Our older son (age 4) has a Britax Boulevard that is great. It seems wide for air travel though? Are the Marathon or Roundabout better options?

None of the Britax convertibles can be called narrow or lightweight.

The current Boulevard, Marathon, and Roundabout are all the same size and they are slightly shorter than the older Boulevards and Marathons, bigger than the older 40# Roundabouts, but about the same width, bulk, and weight as the older Boulevards and Marathons.

If you like your current Boulevard on the plane, I'd look at getting a Radian. You can use it FF on the plane for your older child (it is narrow and fits great on planes - you can even use the tray table) and use the Boulevard for your younger child.
