What vehicle can do lots of boosters??

Our kids are close in age, and very, very soon all three older boys will be in high back boosters. We'll also have at least one car pool passenger (also in a booster), and our toddler.

We're needing to replace a vehicle soon, and I can't think of anything other than a 12 passenger van that would allow everyone to be correctly seated! A sprinter is something I drool over but could probably not happen.

Any other ideas???

HBBs in both outboards seats 3rd row.
HBB outboard drivers side 2nd row, toddler center (something that allows the flip seat to operate)
and HBB on the flip seat for the carpool child, so you can remove it when you don't have that child, but when it's in you can still slide the seat forward for the 3rd row kiddos to get in and out.

I could do that in my Pilot. I often have three boosters across the second row, although one of them is a very narrow discontinued booster -- but I can get a backless in that spot, too. (Monterey/FPSVB/anything or Monterey/Literider/anything.) As long as you put a booster on the passenger outboard spot, it's not too terribly inconvenient to flip the seat -- I've been doing that since I put the ProSport behind.

You could also put the RFing child in the second row center, with boosters outboard and two in the third row. There are lap-shoulder belts (and headrests) in all positions so that makes it really flexible. Also, the third row is sized such that kids will five-step early (I have one who five-stepped at 8y3m, when I bought the Pilot,) so that would make life easier with your kids in terms of being able to put a third bottom in the back if you need to, sans booster.

I think there are lots of other options, too, but as long as you don't find it too much of a pain to move the booster to fold the seat (which sounds like cake to me after what I do on a daily basis, lol!) it's definitely a viable one.

ETA: Caveat, 3rd row passenger will only fit certain seats. Nautilus as a booster will not fit. Monterey is ok, as well as a few backlesses, you would just have to be picky about what you put there.
