I have an older version of this and it’s been really nice to have on hand. Light and easy

There’s a highly recommended cosco brand seat for travel. It’s light and adequate. We got one but ended up not using it because the padding was pretty minimal and we thought our kid would be uncomfortable.

Look into a rolling trolley for your regular car seat. We just did a trip with one and it was pretty doable even with super heavy car seat. Bonus our kid rode in it in the airport, eliminating need for stroller and keeping her corralled. She’s a really tall 3 year old but it worked out fine (feet didn’t drag or anything).

Cosco scenera - it looks not that comfortable but our kid loves it. He can spend hours in there totally chilling and living his best life

Cosco Scenera, usually $35-40 on Walmart.com. Very lightweight

Expensive but lightest thing on the market is the wayb pico if your kid is age 2-5 (could be used age 1+ in some states but not really recommended). Full disclosure that they had a recall a few months back due to an issue with headrest but seems to be fixed now. It’s amazing: carries easily as backpack/strapped onto luggage, fits on plane and only 8 pounds.
