I had to do 3 across in my sienna last weekend so we could fit 4 adults and 3 kiddos. I wasn't happy to discover that my 5yos turbo wouldn't fit in the middle (the part between where the seatbelt connects down from the ceiling and where you have to buckle the seatbelt in the female end was too narrow for the turbo to fit in between). Anyone used a booster in this position? We just ordered a RSTV, so in the future it won't be an issue, but I'm just curious.

Are there any boosters that will fit in the middle rear bench of an '09 Sienna?

The harmony literider fits.
It's ok if the belt comes up and around the back of the booster
I couldn't get the back of the booster to sit flush w/ the back of the seat. The two hard plastic buckle parts were in the way.

Well, I know I can install a marathon/boulevard there rear facing or forward facing, and there is room to buckle a turbo on the driver side, so maybe that could work for the future?
Yeah, I got it to work with 3 across, just not with the booster in the middle. I had a radian behind the passenger (rfing), a ss1 in the middle, and then the turbo behind the driver. It was just challenging because I could put my ds2 ffing if I had to, but he couldn't be ffing next to the ss1 because he would hit and pick at his sister. I ended up using the radian (33lb rfing limit) rfing and he's right at 33lbs. But I figured for one trip it would be ok and should be fine if in a crash, plus I braced it. But it was a royal pain. The CA wouldn't fit with teh SS1 and the turbo or with the radian and the turbo. But now that we'll have a RSTV for my oldest come monday, if I need to do it again I could just use that.
