Narrowest Infant Car Seat??

The Baby Trend is supposedly about 16.5" across. The Keyfit is about 17", I believe. The SnugRide is 17-17.5". All of this depends on where you're measuring, though. The widest point isn't necessarily at the belt path. Another seat that's fairly narrow, yet surprisingly roomy, is the Safety 1st OnBoard/Eddie Bauer SureFit. If this is to fit a 3 across or a narrow seating position, you might still want to try seats out IRL. Seats can puzzle different ways, and measurements alone won't give you the full picture.
 
The Baby Trends are pretty darn narrow & good seats. I used those w/ my twins when they were born as they were the only seats I could find that my 3 across in my 99 Vitara.

I went with the Keyfit, but if that didn't fit I was prepared to get the Flex-loc. The BRU near me carried both seats so I was able to check to see how they fit. It all depends on what seats it's going next to and how your backseat is angled/cushioned. I found that it fits next to my FF Radian but not my RF Radian, for example.
