3 across in 2006 Mazda Tribute (Mazda's version of Ford Escape)

I would love to keep my 2006 Mazda tribute. However, we are starting to worry that we won't be able to fit our son, daughter, and forthcoming suprise baby 3 across in the back. I am completely willing to buy 3 new seats since that is way cheaper and less traumatic than a new car. I really like our chicco keyfit 30, and am ambivalent about any other seats.

When baby is born, we will have:
1. Baby- newborn. I'd love a bucket seat that can be transported in and out if the house and locks in a base.
2. Our son- 3 years old. Very tall and thin. Probably 38-40 inches and 30-32 lbs by next may. Will need to be front facing.
3. Our daughter- 18 months old. Tiny. She is pocket sized, and I doubt she'll transform into a big baby by next may. Maybe 24-28 inches and 20 lbs. Rear facing convertable.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start with new seats and how to position them?

I have a 2002 Mazda Tribute, which is the same as the Ford Escape & Mercury Mariner. I came here after buying 2 Safety 1st seats that will not work. I have a feeling most will not work in it unless it's a low profile like the Diono.

We have 3 across in a 2009 Escape, so assuming they are similarly sized, we have:

- RF Graco MyRide outboard
- FF Evenflo Maestro in the middle
- RF Maxi Cosi Mico on the other side, which fits with and without base

It was a PAIN to install, not going to lie, but they are all independently installed w/ seatbelts. A Radian in the middle also fit well (and will probably fit even better once we turn the MyRide FF.) I imagine there are other bucket seats that fit RF as well, but I have no idea because that is what we have always had and so what we have always used.

I also tried it with an Evenflo Tribute instead of the bucket seat and that was also possible.
