I have a CRV (2010,) and I was hoping that someone has successfully installed 3 across (including an infant seat). If you have achieved this feat, please share the combination and arrangement of seats, and the way that you installed them (latch or seat belt.) I currently have 2 Diono R100's, Graco Snugride 22, Britax Roundabout, and Graco Nautilus. I am willing to acquire any combination of seats that would work. I have tried intalling the Radians with various combinations of infant seats (including a Graco Snugride 30 and a Chicco Keyfit 30,) but I haven't been able to get a combination that I feel confident about. The biggest issue appears to be the way the middle seatbelt and latch hookup are offset to the right in the CRV. Thank in advance for any insight that you can provide.

How old and heavy are the kids?

Sorry that I forgot to include some of the particulars. This is my first post. 
The 4 year old is 41 inches and 37 pounds, the 2 years old is 34 inches and 23 pounds. and the newborn is 19 inches and 6 pounds. The 4 y.o. is in the Nautilus (FF) and the 2 y.o. is in the Roundabout (FF). The infant is currently in our other car (Graco Roundabout 22.) I'd prefer to have the baby in an infant seat (with a base.) I am pretty sure that the back seat layout for CRV from 2007 to 2011 is the same (maybe with minor cosmetic differences.)
I have never encountered a problem installing seats (latch) on the outboard positions in the back seat, but I have had a challenging time getting a solid install using the center seatbelt. The female end of the seatbelt in the center position (in particular but all positions in general) has a lot of give to it and is pretty long. Even when I cinch the belts tightly, the seats are able to shift. I have read in other posts that I am able to twst the stem 3 times so maybe that will help.
Thanks again for all your insight.

I'd try using your fifth anchor then and doing a center LATCH install, then seatbelts outboard. I'd also turn your two year old rear facing, provided they're not too tall. If they are too tall for the Roundabout, I'd get a new seat to rear face longer.
