anyone fly Southwest with a toddler?

What kind of carseat did you use? On the web site it says that the car seat has to be 16 inches or less. Does that measure across the base of the seat or the actual seat part itself? I have a Britax which it FAA approved but will it work on a Southwest airplane? Has anyone used this harness:

AmSafe's CARES Child Aviation Restraint System from ActiveForever.com

TIA!

I took Chase's carseat on a Southwest plane, but not sure how wide it is. I wasn't aware there was a limit.
Sorry I'm not too much help.

Maybe call the 800 number to southwest and ask them about it. I've not flew with my son yet, so I can't help much.

I have used my girl's Britax Marathons each time we fly SW without any problem. Do you have the larger Britax??? The larger one may not fit unless you put the arm rest up.
