Question Which seat would you choose

.....to fly with? The seats I have are a Nautilus, Frontier 90 (no way I'm flying with either if those unless someone can convince me otherwise lol), MA70, Radian, or a Graco HBB.

Additional info:
DD is 4. She and I are flying to be with fiancé for a week. Nonstop 2 hour flight from KC to ATL and then a nonstop on the way home a week later. Whatever seat flies with us WILL need to be used while we are there since the carseat that's usually in his truck is here at home while he's in the road.

I know the MA70 is bulky, but I love how easy they are to work with. It would be my first choice.

Those are the two that I'm torn between. I have pretty much ruled out the GN and the Frontier90 for obvious reasons, but the MA70 and RN were a toss up. I can't remember, do I have to buy both carry straps for the radian or is one included? I should go look through my stuff but am feeling lazy haha

Radian definitely - it folds and she can still use the tray table on the plane with it.

I know at least one of mine came with a strap. And when I bought one of mine, I got a free carry bag with it that had two more straps so I was able to wear it as a backpack once we checked the stroller (had a 1 yo too so needed the stroller).

But in your case, I'd buy a $15 luggage cart and get it through the airport and down the plane aisle that way.

Wearing it on my back was not comfortable b/c the places to hook the straps weren't centered on the seat so the weight wasn't distributed evenly.

Great idea with the luggage cart! I have one from last time we flew with a CA65. I didn't even think about it and forgot I even had it.
