Tight tub/shower space next to toilet - alternative to kneewalls?

We are about to start a bathroom remodel for two pre-teen girls, and I'm stuck at the configuration of the bathtub/shower options. We have 90" to work with for both a tub/shower combo and the 30" needed for a toilet. Looked at 54" tubs, but they seem like a mediocre option that officially works but isn't pleasant to use. We have a master bathroom on the same floor, but it just has a walk-in shower and the next closest tub is two floors down. Thought about just putting in a walk-in for the girls, since they are mostly done with baths, but don't want to lower our property value when we do sell.

Are there options for bathtubs that have a finished shorter side and then to mount a glass directly to the top edge of the tub? I could just make a 60" tub work if that option exists. Or get a 58" tub if a really skinny low knee wall would suffice and then have glass come up directly from that? I'd love any ideas or photos of similar situations.
