Question Help me pick a convertible seat for my twins

Hi, I am hoping I can get some help deciding what seat to buy for my twin boys. I've got a few months before I need to purchase seats, but I am wondering if someone can give me more insight to pros/cons of three seats I'm seriously considering.

I drive a 2010 Honda Odyssey. I have a 2.5 yo DD RF in a Britax Boulevard 70, and plan to keep her RF until she outgrows that seat. Right now my twins are in Chicco KeyFit 30s, and I'm thinking they'll be able to stay in them for at least 2-3 more months. They're both in the middle harness slot and nowhere near needing to move the harness up. One twin is short & small for his age, the other is average height and heavy. They're 7.5 months and I'm guessing twin A weighs 17.5 lbs, twin B probably near 20 by now.

I'm looking at 3 seats for them:

Chicco NextFit
Radian RXT
Britax Boulevard

I want to keep them RF as long as possible. I DO think we will have at least 1 more (maybe 2) kids, so we may or may not have to do a 3-across set-up once I have more children. Hopefully that won't be until the twins are near 4, but I think I need to keep it in mind when buying the twins' next seat.

I've done tons of research on these three seats, and I like different parts of all of them, but I don't know what one to settle on. Can anybody give me some help??

TIA!

I would buy your 2.5yr old a bigger seat. Like the radian. Then give smaller twin the Blvd. And a 2nd Radian for the bigger twin. You'd be able to pass all these seats down later. And having two RNs will help with a future 3 across.
