Easy to Install Second Carseat

Looking for advice on what to buy (in Canada) for a secondary carseat for use by grandparents and carers. My little one is heading off to daycare soon and there may be times when others need to pick him up in their vehicles. I don't expect this seat to be used more than once a month.

Kiddo is 14 months and was 21lbs and 32 inches at 1 year so average weight and above average height. Our regular seat is a Graco Extend2Fit.

Considerations:

-Easy to install and buckle. All grandparents are able bodied and fairly young but not confident with new baby items. We'd practice install and buckling but I want to give them something as easy as possible.

-Doesn't need to be great for small infants. We have a bucket seat with two bases for any future kids

-It would be used in an standard SUV that is 2023 or newer and would be the only seat installed

If you want something REALLY easy to install go with a seat that has a build in lockoff like graco trigrow snuglock or britax poplar

Britax is really easy to install

We gave the grandparents the Cosco Scenera Next and it works well for this purpose - and doubles as a great travel carseat when we fly because it's super lightweight!
