Question Need help with carseat configuration

I drive a 2008 Saturn Outlook SUV, I have 2 children and am expecting a 3rd child in a few months. I have a 4 1/2 year old (32 lbs) sitting FF in a Britax Marathon, and a 21 month old (31 lbs) sitting FF in a Britax Boulevard. Both of my kids love their seats. We have a Chicco Key Fit 22 for the new baby. We are struggling with how to arrange the seats 3 across in our narrow backseat. I realize that we may need to purchase new carseats, but definitely do not want to have to buy a new car. I want to make the best carseat choice possible so we don't have to be replacing carseats again in a few years! Again we really love our Britax seats, so this is a tough decision. We have been looking at the Diono Radian RXT because it goes from birth to booster has a 5 point ff harness up to 80 lbs, and can be a booster. Any thoughts, suggestions, configuration ideas would be helpful! Thanks :)

The Radian will fit nicely next to the Britax you already have and give you more room to install the baby seat. I'd of course suggest turning your one year old back around to rear facing. Maybe try rear facing Britax, forward facing Radian, Chicco. Install with seat belts so you can scoot the outer seats toward the door. If that absolutely won't work, a Radian and Britax facing the same direction work great.
