'12 Outback - 2 RF seats next to each other?

Hi everyone,
So, we have a '12 Subaru Outback.
--#1 Son is in the center, RF, in a Graco Size-4-Me 70. He is 3 years old, about 30 lbs and 35" tall. He also has Down syndrome and low tone so definitely want to keep him RF as long as possible.
--#2 Son is behind the passenger seat in a Chicco Keyfit 30. He is almost 9 months, about 28 lbs and 31" (yes, he's huge) and I need to get him out of the Keyfit (can't believe I can lift it!)

I would like to have the two seats side-by-side as we really need to be able to fit two adults plus the driver in our car. Husband has the Britax Pavilion in his Camry for my 3 year old and a base for the infant but his are on the outboard spots. I would be willing to buy 2 new seats for the Outback to fit side-by-side RF (or re-arrange the seats somehow), especially if I could move the Graco to the Camry. DH is tall and needs leg room so I'm not sure if that will work.

Long story short: recommendations for 2 seats side by side RF in the '12 Outback?
TIA!

Clek foonf are super narrow, rearface to 50 lbs, and have a high shell height, IMO. You may be able to get 2 of them together. The anti rebound bar is a plus for me.

Diono radians are also pretty narrow and can rearface a long time. You may need an angle adjuster to get enough room up front.

Trying a combination of more than one brand sometimes makes it easier to puzzle as well. The myride65 seems to puzzle well with a bunch d seats if they are facing the same direction, such as the radian and guide 65.

I have a 2011 outback, and I can put a RF Roundabout (should be same size as your pavillion - have my 6 mo DD) in the middle next to a RF Diono Ranier (mine is driver's side with angle adjuster for my 3 yo DS). Radians are slightly narrower to assume those would work too.

Plenty of room for an adult behind the passenger!
