When ours was this age, we just used an older version of this:

We hung it off the back of the buggy during our park days with a carabiner
. Even with a small buggy without a child in, it didn’t tip.
EDIT: carabiner
Ours was more like this non isofix version:

Its not heavy, its just bulky. If you are using it in ur car, great. But to get around in UBER/Taxi especially if the streets are narrow and there is traffic, you feel the pressure--loading stroller, attaching the seat. Also, some places in Europe do not require car seats for taxi's (UBER is different). Now, with that said... I have no problem using this on the top tether. Easy to cross connect from the back.
The Maxi-Cosi Nomad Plus is a folding car seat that you can carry like a small suitcase when not using. A friend bought it to travel around the States and it’s still in great condition after lots of flights as the seat part is covered when folded. Fits under a pushchair, so I have borrowed for train journeys when being picked up in a car at the other end - it’s great and quite light. But honestly when I have flown myself I’ve always rented one with the car and they’ve always been cleaner than ours!
When we went to Switzerland last summer we bought this:

Now we take it on every trip. My daughter is 3 so it will last her a bit longer. It’s awesome and installs relatively easily.
I live in a big city with lots of public transport.
I try to use it exclusively, but I can’t always. Don’t own a car and similar to you have this dilemma.
I use this seat if I have to. I’m not thrilled about it.

Super light, cheap, great for air travel, but outgrown fast.
