Accident - Need new carseat

DH was in a minor accident. The car had 2 unoccupied seats - Radian XTSL & Britax Marathon. The accident did not meet the NHTSA guidelines to replace the Marathon, but the Radian must be replaced after any accident.

So, now I need recommendations.

Kids:
DD1 is 41 months, 35.5", 32# and still RFing
DD2 is 19 months, 31", 23" and still RFing

Current/Available Car Seats:
2 Radian RXTs
Britax Roundabout 55
Britax Boulevard 70
Britax Marathon 70 (was in car, but NHTSA/Britax say no need to replace)

Cars:
2009 Toyota Prius (currently has RA55 & BV70)
2011 Subaru Legacy (currently has MA70 & had XTSL which must be replaced)
2011 Toyota Sienna (primary vehicle, currently has 2 RXTs)

I'm not sure what insurance is going to allow, so I want to be prepared. Presuming they let me get whatever seat - should I just replace the XTSL with a RXT and be done? I *think* I'd like to try a Foonf in the Sienna for DD1 and move her RXT to the Subaru. But I'm not sure how the Foonf would fit.

I prefer anti-rebound - which limits me to Britax, Radians, Foonf, or one other seat (True Fit?) but I think that one has a lower weight limit.

Any suggestions?

It's up to you. I would probably just get a Radian. However, if insurance will partial-pay the Foonf, and you really want one, that would be a viable option, too. :)

I would look at foonfs, there have been some for not that expensive lately, insurance might not even notice or care once you show them the rxt price.
