Flying with 4.5 year old

We are traveling this summer with our 4.5 year old who is 42" and 42lbs.

I was planning on using our Turbo Booster until I realized our flight gets in in the middle of the night, and we have an hour car ride to our destination. I don't think dd will be able to stay properly positioned and awake in the middle of the night.

What are some narrow harnessed seat recommendations? Harmony defender, Maestro?
Needs to have high harness slots (dd is on top slots on Radian), narrow profile, and easy to install as I will be installing it in a rental in the middle of the night.

I have an old (not expired) Radian XTSL, Boulevard Clicktight, Boulevard G3. All are too heavy and bulky.

I need to fit 3 kids in the back of a rental car. Other two are not in car seats , but will complain if they are squished by something bulky in the middle.

I think the Graco Atlas is going to be too bulky.

I purchased an Evenflo Securekid DLX yesterday. Amazon has them for $98 now. I liked the supposed ease of the auto tightening latch. It's fairly light too.

Hoping it works!!

I think Securekid. I actually cannot think of anything else more ideal at the moment.
That's what I would use for travel.
Narrow, too.

We cannot use latch. Honda at 40 lbs. says seatbelt install only.
But the latch does not look easy and seatbelt install is soooooo easy with that seat it's great! And with latch I always worry about getting them out again!

Evenflo SureRide. It is hands down one of my favorite travel seats. Lightweight, easy install, high harness height.
