3rd row Suburban, FF seat with no head slump?

Does it exist?! Going to the beach soon and I just don't know what to do...my 3 1/2 yo is FF, in a Radian XT in the 3rd row of our '08 suburban. Her head flops so badly when she falls asleep. The Nauti is the same. I've tried the recline on both, makes no difference. The seat of the vehicle is very upright, so I guess that's the issue?

I've moved her back into the Marathon and her sister is now RF in the Radian, but that isn't ideal, either--it is hard for her to get into the Marathon and the Radian takes up too much room RF.

I should just sell the Radian and buy a Frontier--but I don't want to go to all that trouble if I'll have the same problem! 99% sure my younger DD (16 mos. now) will make it past 3 RF in the Marathon, so I'm not too worried about hanging onto the Radian for that reason.

I'm just not a fan of the Radian and it was so expensive. I hate to buy another seat and not love it.

Any suggestions? Thanks!! :)

I have a Frontier 85 and my 3yr old twins ride in the 3rd row of our 2000 Suburban, and we have had ZERO head slump on a 6+ hour drive.
