Question How to fit 5 short kids in a 2008 Town & Country Touring

We have a 2008 Town & Country Touring. The middle row has two captain chairs. The back row is a 3 seat bench with each seat having a shoulder belt. The middle seat of the back bench is tiny, about 9 inches wide.

Children sizes:
1) 50" & 50lbs Age 8
2) 47" & 46lbs Age 7
3) 39" & 36lbs Age 4
4) 36" & 25lbs Age 2
5) Newborn

I want children the 2yr old and newborn in the middle captain's chairs since they can't buckle themselves. What seat combination can I put in the 3rd row to fit children #1, #2, & #3? Currently Children #1 & #2 are in Graco Turbo Boosters. It looks to me like putting another child in that row will crowd it so much that they won't be able to get their hands down to the buckles between the seats. I've read that 3 Radians across the back will fit (although by my measurements I'm not sure). I'd rather keep the two oldest kids in booster seats than going back to 5 point harnesses if I can. Plus the cost of three radians is very expensive.
Thanks for your help!

Bumping your thread! :) If you posted back with which seats you currently have in addition to the Turbo Boosters, the posters may have advice for working with some of those seats. I agree keeping the 8 and 7 year olds in boosters is a good option if it can work with your vehicle. :)
