Terrific & Unexpected Bonus Effect
By madcarlotta on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016
I bought this mirror when I upgraded and purchased my daughter her "big girl" toddler car seat (one that eventually adjusts from rear-facing to front.) We are going on longer car trips now that she's a bona fide toddler and I wanted to be able to see if she's not only awake or asleep but also safe and happy as I drive longer distances. She's barely 18 mo old so she doesn't always answer me if I ask her how she's doing, so I hoped this mirror would help. It does! I had no problem putting this in position so I could view my daughter in her rear facing car seat. I'm typically admittedly hopeless at installing or putting together much of anything. My baby's dad always ends up putting things together and installing baby products. I couldn't even get our baby window shade in properly. But this was a cinch to put in my vehicle - I simply hung/strapped it around my rear seat headrest. I didn't even need to adjust it. It gave me a perfect view of my daughter immediately upon its initial installation. It's a good size, light weight but sturdy, very clear, and fit around my Toyota Prius' rear headrest easily. I love being able to quickly glance and see my daughter in her rear facing car seat. This mirror was an incredible bargain for that type of peace of mind! It's perfect - flawless. Can't think of anything about it that could improve it. An unexpected bonus - it is endlessly entertaining for my toddler! She LOVES looking at herself in it and sits in her car seat making funny faces and patting her ponytail (lol!) while watching herself. I can hear her cooing with happiness as she does this - and now I can also clearly SEE her doing so also! I don't have a DVD player or anything like that in my small car so it's a lovely bonus that my daughter is so very entertained and tickled by this mirror. I bought a different brand and type of baby car seat mirror when my daughter was a newborn. It was useless! We couldn't get it to adhere properly or stay put (it had a Velcro type backing that didn't hold or work at all) and it was weirdly small anyway. We ended up returning it. I was pleasantly surprised that this mirror works as simply and well as it does. This mirror is absolutely perfect! ! I'm keeping my daughter in a rear facing car seat as long as possible and bought her new car seat because it has one of the very highest weight/height limits available in any model for rear facing car seats. As such, I'll be using this for a good long time. Highly recommended

Great for Hide and Seek. Hides your newborn and seeks your stains
By DC on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018
Purchased this for both my Wife's and my car. It actually is pretty clear and has a great viewing angle to capture my newborn when driving. It is difficult to exactly see the details when driving but that is more of a fault of my eyes than this mirror. So why the 3 star review? Well, the problem with this product is how it is mounted to the headrest of the seats. It crosses the back and makes an "X" to hold it secure. Sounds great in theory, however, what I have found is that the product constantly shifts down and ends up hanging on the headrest mounts because it got loose. So continually I expect to see my newborn only to see the mirror point to a stain on my seat on the ground next to my newborn. I have tried tightening and adjusting this but seems to constantly have the same persistent issue over time. I will try to continue figuring this rubix cube of a mirror out for the next week but may end up having to chuck it. So if you like a mirror that constantly reminds you with crystal clarity that you have a stain in the middle of the seat as opposed to seeing your newborn, this is the mirror for you.
