No pics yet..I'll try to post some tonight but I was messing with some seats in our 2003 Toyota Corolla and was able to do:

Parkway, ff'ing MA, Parkway (tight but it works)
Parkway, Parkway, ff'ing MA
Parkway, SR/C, ff'ing MA
Parkway, SR/C, rf'ing MA

I can't seem to get the BG to fit with the Parkway and MA but it fits:
BG, SR/C, ff'ing or rf'ing MA
BG, ff'ing MA, SR/C

Center- very tall 5.5 year old in Britax Parkway Booster (new good date just before they stopped making them), forward facing, seat belt install
Behind driver- 3 year old in Radian 65, forward facing, , seat belt install but with top teather

Radian 65 ffing
Radian 65 rfing
Cosco Scenera ffing

All 3 tethered. Tight fit and front seats had to be scooched up. Do not attempt to fit a tall adult in the front seat!

All seats installed with seatbelt.

Outboard Passenger side = RF'ing Cosco scenera
Middle = FF Safety1st Intera(base off), tethered
Outboard Driver side = Britax Regent, tethered

Tight fit but it can be done.
I installed the Intera 1st, then the scenera, then regent, then pulled the intera out to be sure it was not holding the other 2 seats tight. All are independently solid. :)

I wish I had a picture, but I had to lend the intera to a friend before I could get the camera out :(

Thread the seatbelts before you settle the seats all the way back; there's not enough room to do so after they're wedged firmly together. My two oldest were in the outboard positions (one in a Parkway, the other in the Olli) and they could buckle themselves, but my 5 year old couldn't buckle herself in the middle Parkway, and my 8 year old, who was sitting on the same side as the middle buckle couldn't get it for her, either; an adult had to help them.
