360 rotating car seats - can older children get past the car seat when it’s rotated sideways?

My husband and I are car seat shopping for our 4th baby. We will have 2 under 2, along with a 5yr old and 9yr old. I drive an SUV that has captains chairs in the middle row and a bench in the 3rd row. My plan is to put the baby and toddler in the middle, and have the older two in the back. The problem is that currently with my toddler being rear facing, they aren’t able to use that door at all to get in and out of the vehicle (the car seat is blocking it). I’m concerned as to how, once both doors are blocked by rear facing car seats, my older two are supposed to be able to get in and out of the vehicle?

I was wondering if I get a rotating car seat for the toddler (such as the Graco 360), will this create enough room for my older kids to get in and out of the vehicle (and use that door) when the car seat is rotated sideways? Otherwise, how are kids getting in and out of that 3rd row past the carseats? The trunk lol?
