Narrow convertibles (fit airplane aisle)

My son will be 3 next week and has outgrown his beloved Scenera Next rf and we will be flying a few times this summer/fall. I really want a seat that will fit down the airplane aisle (fly Southwest exclusively) on the GoGo Babyz cart.

Seats I have: Clek Fllo (narrow but soooo heavy and will never fly with it again), Graco Contender, Britax Pavilion.

I'm fairly certain the Britax and Graco won't fit but is there any chance they would?

Criteria:

Fit down the aisle
As lightweight as possible
Fits rf on plane
As cheap as possible


I'm considering an Evenflo Sonus or Safety 1st guide, any other seats I should be looking at? Does anyone know if they will fit? I'd rather not deal with the weight of Diono which is my last resort.

I'm a single mom and always fly solo so ease of getting through the airport changing planes is a big deal.

Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see the reply! He's not yet 40". He was 34" a year ago at his 2yr appt. his 3yr appt is Monday. I'm guessing 36-37". He's very slim, about 33-34lbs. He has a long torso;) I haven't done an official measurement but I'm fairly certain he is less than 1" from the top of shell. Need to find my 1" board book to test.

The Scenera NEXT allows the top of the head to be even with the top of the shell. If he still fits, I'd just use it this time. It's tough to find a better travel seat!

My daughter is at least 35" and has a long torso (has been outgrowing 3T shirts by length) and she still has a few inches above her head. Let us know how you do with the board book test!
