Airline Approved Car Seat Recs

I wanted to see if anyone has a tried and true car seat that they’ve used in flight that didn’t cause a huge fuss to get approval from the ground crew or flight attendants. We’ve always got approval on the seat during the booking process but then have to go through all the steps again when checking in.

Our child having his own seat is a safety nonnegotiable for us. His infant seat, although meeting the standards for use according to the airline’s policy, always caused a fuss with the ground crew and made us almost late to several flights. Our son has outgrown his infant seat and I’m looking for a car seat that won’t give us an issue when using it onboard. I believe part of the problem was all the labels on our infant’s car seat were in English so it caused a lot of confusion despite the FAA label (which is an approved safety accreditation per policies which allow MLIT, FAA, or ECE). I would love a recommendation of an MLIT approved car seat with a label in Japanese.

TIA! Also we already know and have taken advantage of JAL providing free car seats however it’s not always possible to fly J
