Trying my BEST to avoid the minivan

Bought my CPO 08 gx a few years back when I had my second baby and I absolutely love this truck. Wife and I in the front, 2 baby seats in the 2nd row and if I wanted to fit 10 midgets in the back, the GX would have accommodated.
My wife and I are expecting our 3rd baby and though it is indeed a blessing, it was also not planned
.
Reaching out to all the families of 5 out there and wanted to hear your stories/experiences.
My initial thoughts were that 3 baby seats will not work in the 2nd row so perhaps I will utilize 1/2 of the third row and putting a baby seat back there, picking up either, a Yakima or Thule cargo box to make up for the lost space and avoid going the minivan route.
Tell me your thoughts guys

That being said, most of those come with the captain chairs in the 2nd row. Is it safe to put our oldest child (4 yrs) in the middle of the 3rd row in one of those SUVs?

So I reached out to Lexus and I asked where they stood in regards to a baby seat in the 3rd row. Their response was that they do not prohibit a baby seat back there and that the third row is set up to be hooked up with a car seat if needed.
After speaking with my wife, we're going to keep the GX and see how it goes but keep the minivan option open. Admittedly those vans are pretty cool. Talking to friends that own them, everyone said that they are a G*d sent. Researching them online and I hate to say but they're growing on me.
Thanks everyone for their input.
