Terrbile idea?

Is it a terrible idea to turn my (at the time) 34 month old FFing just for a 13 hour trip next month? I know a car ride is a car ride. ATM she is 36" and 29.5# in a TFP. She's been oddly asking a lot to ride in DD1's FR85, get's over traveling very quickly and I'm constantly having to turn to give her things and fix things, and we're having a silly DVD dilemma.
Am I crazy for even entertaining this?

I would not turn her. If your comfortable using a DVD player can you secure it to the back seat so she can see if RFing? That's what I did when I drove 12hrs with my DD RFing when she was almost 3 and again when she was almost 4.

I'd have no problem turning her for the trip. Being a distracted driver always having to hand her stuff isn't safe either.

I would be concerned about comfort while napping. We ran in to this the last time we flew because it was DS' first time FF in his Radian and he was so upright he got terrible head slump and woke up crying after 45 minutes because his neck hurt.

I'll prob swap DD2 and DD3 seats when DD2 actually goes FF. She'd then be in a MA70-G3. Aren't those pretty reclined FFing?

Sorry @blackberry, we do have a safely secured DVD player. But since the RFers are split by the FFer, it's difficult for the one without to see.
