UPDATE: Someone in my local network just suggested this. Can anyone speak to the safety of this device?

So, we just bought a 2008 Ody. And right away as I expected, buckling 3 kids into the back row is challenging. We have DD3 in a Radian, DD1 in a Harmony Dream HHB, and DD2 in a Graco Turbo. We are going to try one more config, but chiefly, it is extremely difficult for DD2 to buckle herself in. Right now she just can't. I was able to, but with great difficulty. The problem seems to be that little buckle where the middle belt has to be anchored in before you can buckle it on the other side. That little buckle shares a space with the buckle for DD32's seat, the buckle seems to recede into the seat, and between the crowding of the two buckles and receding of the outboard seat's buckle, it's just a hot mess.
The Harmony Dream is no longer being sold I believe, the reason we bought the Turbo. We got them to work in my Accord, but are thinking, since boosters are not that expensive, we might as well get two more and just leave them in the Ody so we aren't switching them back and forth all the time. The Ody is not going to be our main car. My Accord will continue to fulfill that function. But when our entire family including my parents go somewhere (they are living with us now), we will be in the Ody, That includes church on Sundays, occasional road trips, meals out, and occasional visits to extended family in Mass, an hour away.
Does anyone have a 2 booster 1 convertible seat combo that works in that back row?
