Travel convertible car seat (Canada)

Hi everyone. My 10 month old currently uses the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio convertible as our main car seat, but we are looking for a second car seat for travel, daddy's and babysitter's car etc.

The criteria are:
a) easy to install - this will be moving between cars more often
b) easy to use and adjust - I really hate tangly straps, and complicated adjustments (love no rethread harnesses)
c) will fit RF on a plane - we are taking a trip in the summer when LO will be 12 months
d) Comfortable - LO is not a fan of the car, though moving from the infant seat to the convertible helped quite a bit as she's higher and more comfortable
e) relatively light - since we will be carrying it in the airport and transferring between cars (I'm very petite)
f) not particularly concerned about price. Safety is more important

Do any of these make sense: Cosco Scenera, Combi Coccoro, Evenflo Sureride, Guide 65?

My husband drives an Audi A6 and we will probably be renting an SUV or minivan on our trip since we have to transport a lot of people. LO is around 50th percentile (currently 71cm and 8.52kg - nearly 28 inches and nearly 19lb)

Thanks!

The Cosco Scenera has a 32in height limit rearfacing so I would rule that out.

The Coccoro is not available in Canada, so strike that one too.

Guide 65 has a 36in RF height limit, might be ok depending how long you plan to RF. Installation can be simple or tricky depending on vehicle.

Sureride is 40lb/40in for height, ultra light, and simple to install with UAS. This would be my front runner for a back up seat. In fact, it is my back up seat :p
