Brainstorm a three across (RFing) with me...

I'm going to be watching my friend's baby (3 months) soon so will be in need of 3 across in my '05 Santa Fe. Currently DD is RFing passenger in an RXT and DS is center in a MyRide. I'd really like to keep DD outboard in the RXT. She is able to climb in and out of it on her own, which is a huge help to me.
I don't have a whole lot in my seat stash right now. For extra seats all I have is a Triumph65, Scenera40 and another MyRide.
I considered another Radian for DS, but I am not a huge fan of them. So I was thinking maybe a CCO. Then maybe the Scenera will fit outboard driver's side for my friend's baby?
I'm concerned about how loading/unloading will work though. Am I going to be able to get DS into the middle over another convertible or should I consider a bucket for the baby? I'd hate to have to purchase two new seats...
Any other seats I should consider? I'm not really concerned with RFing longevity of DS's seat since when he gets close to the limits I assume DD will be FFing and DS can move into the RXT.

I got a GN/RXT/MA70 in my Jeep. I know the GN isn't RFing, but it is a wide seat, so I'd assume I would be able to get something else RFing.

I'm thinking MR65/RXT/MR65 might work, but you said that you want the RXT outboard.

When I was visiting Chely, we put DS in the middle row center with T4 in his bucket on one side and T3 on the other in his BV70. More than once I loaded DS over the top of his seat and leaned over to buckle him. He's 22 months and 25ish lbs and it wasn't that hard. I would imagine it would be easier with a smaller child/baby so CCO in the center could work.
