Air travel

I'm flying alone my 2.5 year old in about 2 weeks. My parents will be picking us up when we arrive and have a car seat for my daughter. We own a maxi cosi and some g3/g4 Britax convertibles. Should I fly with one of these or just buy a lightweight seat for flying?

I'm just worried about having to drag a seat through the airport, security lines, etc. my daughter doesn't love strollers so usually when we fly I wear her through security and/or she walk through airport but I obviously want her to be safely secured on the plane.

She's 2.5, 24 lbs., and I think 29 inches

I thought those weren't recommend Ed for young toddlers because they can unlatch seatbelt and slide down because there's no crotch strap

I just flew alone with my 7 yo and 18 month old, and I'm also 20 weeks pregnant. I used a Scenera, which I attached to a cheap luggage cart with the cart's bungee cords and the seat's latch straps. We normally travel with a Britax Roundabout 50, but this was much easier to handle alone. I have the old model Scenera, but I also purchased a new Scenera Next to keep at my parent's house and that is a great seat. I think either one would be a great choice for the plane, but the Next is much more useful on the ground. It's pretty compact and installed really easily. Totally worth the $45 IMHO.
