I'm looking for a carseat for my 2 1/2 yr old to take on vacation. There will be a fairly short (2 1/2 hour) flight on Southwest, then we need to rent a car for a week. At home, the toddler is in a rear-facing Radian XLT, but we don't want to lug this seat around due to its weight. For the rental car, I'd also prefer something that can be installed rear-facing if at all possible. Bonus points for a seat that fits good enough for occasional use in our second car (a Ford Focus) - the kid will enter preschool next fall, and if his Dad could use the seat to sometimes drop him off in the morning, that would be a plus.
I was looking at the Evenflo Sureride, but here's what Southwest says about seat width "Although the width of aircraft seats varies, a safety seat wider than 16 inches is unlikely to fit, even if the armrests of the aircraft seats are moved out of the way." Amazon lists the Sureride at 19 inches wide if I understand the specs correctly. Now I'm not sure what to look into. This forum has really helped me figure out car seat questions in the past, so I thought I should ask here again!
