The small things in life bring joy to a rookie tech like me!

I did a private seat check at work yesterday. RF Graco My Ride in a '98 Volvo. I was *so* excited when I realized it had a switchable latchplate!! It looked like this: http://www.800bucklup.org/images/fit_installation/Photo9SwitchLatchPlt.jpg Mom was also excited when I told her the locking clip she had been using was not needed.

As I understand, these are rather uncommon and from the sounds of it, this was my once-in-the-lifetime-of-a-tech opportunity. lol I've only been certified for 3 months.

I have a feeling that only people active on c-s.org would understand my excitement over something so small as a latchplate. ;)

Awesome. They're not once in a lifetime, but they're not common. They're only on Volvos for a few years in between not locking and locking retractors. Late 90s. I think they're fantastic.

I was *so* proud of myself for being able to deal with the locking latchplate in my sister's Volvo when she picked us up at the airport. My family couldn't get me to shut up. And when she sold the car I shed a silent, lonesome tear while softly patting my Radian for comfort.
