FF in one car, RF in another

Well the time has come when DD2 has outgrown her FPSE rear-facing. She is 34 inches, and her head is almost to the top of the shell. If I put her FFing in DHs car, is she going to care that she is RFing >90% of the time in the minivan? I hope not! Even though she is 21 months, she still is pretty light-maybe 23 lbs so I am not happy to turn her forward, but on the other hand, we can't justify spending $250 on a Marathon for maybe 1x/month in DH's car.

Anyone have kids that ride in differnet directions and not care?

My son is rear-facing 100% of the time, but I turned a 3 year old around at a car seat check last year. She had been forward-facing for quite some time. She didn't complain at all about being turned back around. She actually seemed to like it.
