We just moved my 6-year-old to a booster b/c he outgrew his harness (bought a Clek Oobr), but it will be difficult to buckle anything with three across for sure. We have 3 across, too. RF seats for the 1 and 3-year-old, and then the booster for the 6-year-old, but it's a van so easy.
I like the Oobr as it should fit him until at least age 10, so it could be his last seat potentially. I don't plan to take the back off unless he outgrows the shoulder guide by height. It is over $200 so pricey, but it's a great seat with structural support and good side-impact protection.
