So of course I need help picking car seats.

It's a 2001 Civic, 5 speed stick. LATCH and tether anchors in both outboard positions and a lap/shoulder belt in the center.
This is for me to drive back and forth to school because gas is killing us in the 4x4 suburban so I'll have Kaleigh and Caleb with me more often than not. I have to figure out what to do about car seats for them.
I can move seats from the Suburban but that will put me in a jam anytime I have to take everyone somewhere in the evening. I have extra cheap seats, but in a car that small, I want as much protection for them as I can get. I could put the cheap seats in my truck, but we take long trips in my truck so I want comfy ones in there as well.
Here are the seats I have. Maybe y'all can help me make it work. It wouldn't hurt my feelings too badly if I had to get new seats either.
Here's what I have that fits each kid.
Kaleigh - Nautilus, FF-ing old style BLVD, Turbobooster (not happening, but she is within the limits)
Caleb - 2 RFing MAs, Cosco Scenera
Will anything fit in that car rear-facing for CJ? He's 2 years and 9 months old now, 30 lbs. The Scenera would, but I want EPS foam at the very least.
The other thing to consider is that Kaleigh will be going to school next year so she'll only need something for about 8 months in both dh's vehicle and the civic. After that, her seats will be spares or passed down to CJ so I don't want to spend a ton, but I do want her as safe as reasonably possible.
