Forward Facing Blvd in Mini Cooper

I'm about to turn my son around. He'll be 4 in a few days and is at the weight limit, 33lbs, for his blvd.

I'm having issues with my latch. (not just in my car either)
The Latch clips from the car work fine when RF. BUT, when the seat is turned around the latch doesn't fit. I can't get them to click for the life of me. It seems like the top of the nifty latch thingy is wider on top then on bottom and fits that way. If I turn the latch up-side-down it clicks just fine. But then the strap is twisted and that doesn't work. I've had this issues in my IL's vehicle too. I'd much rather use the latch then the belt.

Any ideas?
I'm going to keep looking and see what I can find and i'm sure i'll be squeezed back there in the next few days trying to make it work.

TIA

No problem, I'm glad you got it figured out. By the way, awesome job at keeping your little man rear facing so long! :thumbsup:

just a quick update: Turned the seat around without him knowing it. Switching the clips was SUPER easy, once i knew i needed to do it.

He LOVED it. I mean, that was probable the best part of his whole day. OMG, he was asking all sorts of questions and telling me how to drive already! Within 2 min of driving he was telling me to stay safe and use both hands. lol

Next seat for any new babies will have a higher RF weight limit.
