The problem with the car seat is it cannot be mounted forward facing. It's one of those half-lying shells with a base and the girls are used to sleep in them. A bigger age group seat will be sitting only and difficult to sleep in. Otherwise I can't imagine they'll outgrow the current seat by then.
You'd be surprised. My son does rear-face, but he's in a convertible seat (not an infant seat... he grew out of the largest infant seat available by about 6 months), and he sleeps great in it.
Here's a pic of him at 8.5 months old in his travel car seat, rear-facing on a plane. Not the greatest image, but hopefully it'll give you an idea of how he sits. The angle difference between rear-facing and forward-facing doesn't seem to be that great to me. He sleeps fine in it. I usually do roll up a blanket or bunch up a jacket or something for propping up his head a bit, once he nods off.
