Car seat configuration

Hello,
I am looking for some advice on putting 3 car seats into each of our two cars, a 2015 Honda Civic and a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. I have a 4.5 year old, a 2.5 year old, and will soon have a newborn. The two older kids are front-facing.
These are the 6 car seats we already have:

Two Britax Marathons (purchased in 2014 not clicktight)
Britax Frontier (purchased in 2015)
Britax Pioneer (purchased in 2015)
Britax B-safe35 (purchased 2013 - older version not clicktight)
Diono Radian RXT (brand new and can still be returned if something will work better)

Ideally, I would like to have the infant in an outside seat and the older one in the middle seat, but if a different configuration works, that is fine. I am open to buying a couple of new car seats, but would prefer to use what we have.
Thank you!

Oof. You have some wide seats.

The Civic is tough for 3 across because of the way the bolsters are shaped.

How much do the older two weigh and what's their seated shoulder height? Hopefully we can come up with some ideas.
