FF seat to puzzle with Snugride 30

We are expecting a new baby in a few weeks. I installed a Snugride 30 passenger outboard in my 2008 Camry (seatbelt base install) and moved DS's (3 yo, about 37.5" and 32 lb) FF Blvd 70 to the center (also seatbelt install). I wanted to leave a seat open behind the driver for occasional passengers and to give myself a place to sit and help buckle DS in.

This weekend I rode in the backseat while my FIL was visiting and realized how tight that space is! I am wondering if there is a narrower seat that could replace the Blvd, or one with less of a base that would puzzle better with the Snugride. As is the widest part of the two seats are at exactly the same height.

I have looked at the radian - which seems to be the narrowest option, but don't need the RF ability and figure a FF only seat with extra harness height would be longer lasting. Originally I was looking at the Frontier 85 or Prosport as a combo seat for DS, but it looks like they are just as wide as the Blvd.

This is our main car and we do a 3-6 hour drive a few times a year, so comfort is important.

Any recs for a seat that will puzzle with the Snugride (and ideally puzzle with a RF Blvd when the Snugride is outgrown) and take up less space than the Blvd?

Sorry we missed your post for a few days

I would first try switching their positions in the car. Put the baby center and the 3yo outboard (its not ideal placement but work with what you got). The hump might be enough to set the widest parts off. If that doesn't work the Harmony Defender is the narrowest combination seat.
