...if you bring your car seat along to gate check it, and if there is an empty seat on the plane at departure, they will (or used to) let your child and car seat have that empty seat for free.
And if you take the window and your husband takes the aisle, that middle seat will likely be the
last seat taken, especially if you move toward the back of the plane.
