Anyone w/ 3 kids drive an SUV?

How do you arrange the car seats?  I am not sure if all three fit across the 2nd row or if I should put the oldest or 2 oldest in the very back.  I don't want a minivan because I must have 4 wheel drive.

I fit all 3 children in the 2nd row.

Alexander (3yo) is behind the driver
Christopher (infant) is in the middle
Zachary (11yo) is behind the passenger

When needed, Zachary rides in the 3rd row.  Like when there's an extra adult or something like that.

I traded it in for a van but when I had it the older two were in the very back.  They could all fit in the 2nd row but it was tight.

I need 4wd, too, but I'd LOVE a Chrysler T&C or an Odyssey.  I'm a dork.  I think they're awesome.

I'm going to have 2 in Britax Marathons - one forward-facing and one rear-facing, plus an infant seat.  My plan is to put the infant seat in the middle because it just snaps into the base.  It would be easier to slide the car seat over a Marathon and snap it into the base than reach into the middle over the base to secure one of the older ones. 

I can't imagine it's going to be easy and I envision lots of "she's touching me!", but it is what it is!
