Nope, we got the baby trooper slim 3 in 1. I will say, the extend may have fit, but I couldn’t risk it. We had plenty of plane seat room on the sides with the trooper. I think it’s because the width is measured by the widest part, not the base.
I mean, you say you don’t want to compromise safety, while you’re considering putting 2 kids who are still small enough to rearface in many car seats in booster seats and while you forward face a 2 year old. It’ll be more difficult in terms of flying, but I’d pick up some lightweight convertible car seats (we like the Evenflo Sonus, the Babytrend Trooper is also good) specifically for travel and install them on the plane for all 3 kids (at least for the 2 year old. Might want to research lightweight combination seats for the 2 bigger kids, but I’d still have both of them in harnessed seats given their sizes).
We have the EvenFlo’s as well, we dont travel with them though (way to heavy). We bought BabyTrend’s 3 in 1 trooper. Very basic, but very light car seat. Bought a generic car seat bag on Amazon and have since taken it on multiple trips.
