Default Still having trouble with 3 across Subaru Legacy Outback

I have a 2001 Subaru Legacy Outback. I presently have 2 Graco TurboBoosters and I am now trying to figure out how to make room for baby #3. I measured the backseat and it is barely 50", really it is closer to 48 or 49". If I push the boosters to the very edge of the seat, which isn't that easy because of the "bucket" slope, and measure in between the armrests I have 16" left. At the seat level I have 17".

I purchased a Baby Trend Flex-Loc, which is by far the narrowest base I could find, and I can fit the seats, but there is NO room between the armrests and the baby seat, so I cannot reach to buckle my older kids. I cannot foresee putting my 4 and 6 year olds back into harnesses, so I really do need to stay with 2 belt positioning boosters.

So my question is this-Is anyone currently using two boosters and an infant or convertible seat in a 2001 Legacy Outback? I have seen older posts with suggestions, but the Britax Parkway, BodyGuard, and StarRiser have all been discontinued. I have tried a number of different configurations using my Turbo Boosters, the Flex-Loc, my Britax Roundabout, and I cannot find a suitable fit. Please help!
