Gwen wins and gets to face out in the front pack (after screaming her head off while facing in). She went on to capture the hearts of multiple old ladies at the park. We stopped four times for long conversations (six feet apart) about their children and grandchildren. Gwen was pronounced by these matriarchs to be darling, tall, precocious, alert for her age, and likely to be a dancer some day.

Of course she wants to face out in a world this wonderful.
