My kids sit three across in my SUV. DD1 (5) and DD2 (3) sit next to each other, with DD1 FF and DD2 RF. Several times a week, we have an issue with DD2 pestering DD1 by sticking her feet over into DD1's car seat space, directly into her face. Much whining and squealing ensues. I typically like our car seat layout, but I do wonder what will happen when we turn DD2 FF....if this type of behavior is bound to get better, or if turning the seat will exacerbate the situation.

Which do you think is worse for kids who sit directly next to each other pestering each other (that is, which way is it easier for them to get in each other's space)- facing different ways or facing the same way?
