Question Booster seat tilts in 3 across installation

I'm hoping someone can help me. Im new to ths board, so I hoe I put ths in the right spot.

I have a 2003 Accord. My 5 year old is in a high back Graco turbo booster on the passenger side, my 2 year old in a rf radian in the middle, and my 10 month old is in a rf Britax on the driver's side.

The problem is that my 5 year old's booster tilts toward the middle because the edge of my backseat is higher than the middle. I buckle him and push him as far toward the Radian as I can and he still tilts.

I don't think moving him to the middle would work because I don't think there'd be enough room to squeeze my hand in there to buckle him, plus I'd be afraid he or I would unbuckle one of the other carseats accidentally.

Any suggestions?

I have a pic and I can't figure out how to load it. :/

Hi there.

I think a harnessed seat would help quite a bit. That way you just buckle him from the front. I did a three across last week in a 2002 Accord with a rear facing Britax, forward facing Radian (so wider at the backseat than yours), and a Harmony Defender. It was tough work, but probably easier than trying to get my hand in there every day. Rear facing the Radian would have made life easier, for sure. So I'd probably try that, honestly.

You have the screws in the armrests of the Turbo?
