Arrange my seats, Please?

I'm done with trying to figure it out. Current set up:
Gpa's CRV: Nautilus
Gma's Escort: Nautilus
My Sienna: FR85
DH's CX7: Graco Cargo

This is the perfect set up. Except....Sofi is dead even with the top slots in the Cargo :( So I really need a different seat there. These are the stipulations: Gpa, Gma, and DH must all have a carseat with a very smooth harness adjuster (which is why Nautilus is so wonderful!). I really think a Nautilus is a MUST for Gpa's CRV because of forward of the bight buckle stalks, and issues I've had with installing other seats there. Sofi's carseat is center in all vehicles. Gma's Escort is a 95 with lap belt center, but does have tether anchors retrofitted. Sofi is 37 pounds (just recently gained, so I don't expect another growth spurt) and will not be boostered until 40. There is very little leg room in the CX7. The Cargo is perfect because it has a short seat depth allowing for her legs to bend for optimal room. The Frontier was bad in that aspect because if the deep seat depth.

Additional Seats I have that Sofi still fits in:
Radian XTSL
Diono RXT
True Fit Premiere
Another Frontier 85
Safeguard Child Seat

So...how should I juggle seats? Or should I buy a Maestro? If I buy another seat, I'm not worried about booster mode because I have plenty of boosters waiting.

Put a Radian of some sort in the CX-7. Leave the rest as is. Radians are generally great for forward facing leg room because they sit so low and flush with the vehicle seat.

I'm going to have to try the RXT. There is NO way DH would be able to properly tighten the XTSL. I'll make a trip to storage tomorrow to get it.

Me too. I have a three across in my car right now, Radian65, Radian 65, RXT. They feel the same to me.

That's disappointing :( I haven't actually used mine, as it's really only needed for 3 across my 3rd row. So it's sitting in storage.

ETA: That takes the RXT out of the running for the other cars :( (as well as the XTSL). I need something as smooth as the Nautilus.

Maybe the SG Child Seat in Gma's Escort and a Nautilus in the CX7? I know it doesn't install well in Gpa's CRV, I tried.
