Help me! Seat Configuration!!

[*Spoiledinmyhouseofblue*]

I went tonight to look at carseats at Target(wanted to go to babies r us, but ran out of time).

I need help with seat configuration without losing my mind! LOL!

My van is a pain in the butt for 3-across(tell me why I didn't get the long base at the time)?

Here are the dimensions:
49.3-Hip room
57.2-Shoulder room

50/50 Split fold seats(3rd row)

These are my kids stats (and daycare kiddos). I move seats constantly on the weekends, because sometimes we need the space.

I am not sure where to put who and in the van(meaning boosters in captain's or in the back). I am ok with Michael and other 6 year old being in a low back booster for daycare use only if that helps any-they wouldn't need to fall asleep.

I tried the Evenflo chase and Cosco scenera next to each other (thinking Logan in the evenflo chase during daycare times), but they sit horribly together in my van, and then daycare girl could use his nautilus harnessed or
in booster mode.

I am trying to avoid a Radian if at all possible-pain in the butt to install in my 3rd row.

I am willing to buy whatever seat that will make this work.

KIDS

Michael-11/02(6): 50 pounds, 49 inches, 17 inch torso(has to be in booster)
DCG-1/03(6):50 pounds, 46 inches, 16 inch torso(sits great in a booster)
Logan-1/05(4): 32 pounds, 41 inches, 14.5 inch torso
(RF)DCG-3/08(11 months):18 lbs, small tiny torso
(RF)DCG-11/07(16 months): 27 lbs, Most likely on second to bottom slots of scenera

Seats:

Graco Nautilus
Evenflo Chase(no armrests though-they broke and evenflo said ok to use-of course not in booster mode though)
Cosco Scenera
FPSVD ( I can get a second one of these as my sister is getting rid of hers)
Graco Safeseat
Britax Parkway
FPSV booster(may be selling though)
Graco High back booster x 2
Graco No back booster
Cosco Ambassador

Your third row is over an inch wider than mine and I just managed to fit pw/ff ma/pw. Did you get rid of your FPSVD? You could get one for $109 at albee and put that between your pw and fp booster. I bet that would fit. Put the oldest 3 back there and your 2 rfers in the middle row. Kids can climb in before you snap the bucket in place.

Good luck. 3 across stinks:(

OMG! I forgot I had that seat! LOL! LOL! I have it in my cousin's car for carpool for Logan for preschool(she hasn't driven him in a month though). I will give her the chase if I have too. LOL!

Having the small base actually makes it easier to buckle the boosters. There was less room with a radian. The fp booster is narrow enough that even with armrests it should work. The tb was impossible to buckle for me in 3 across.
