Question 3 across in 2013 Explorer

I've tried searching posts but there are many and some are old....

Has anyone found a way to fit 3 across in a 2013 Ford Explorer XLT? I do not have inflatable seat belts. I recently found out that I am unexpectedly expecting a third baby. A new car is not an option at this time, but new car seats are. My kids will be 4.5 y/o and 2.5 y/o when the new baby is born. Ideally, the 2.5 y/o will remain rear-facing. My kids are tall and skinny. We no longer have our infant bucket seat and I'm not opposed to a convertible for a newborn (my first two were both big newborns). Thanks in advance for any help!

In case anyone needs to know...

Car Crash Detective is absolutely not reliable on three across scenarios. I am guessing the writer goes by vehicle and car seat measurements? But it is a very safe bet that the writer has never laid eyes on any of those larger SUVs, much less installed seats in them.

Just saw what carseatlady said regarding that generation explorer... She said 3 won't fit across correctly. Sorry! Will be deleting my comment to not further propogate incorrect information.
