MunchkinBaby Car Mirror for Rear Facing Car Seats, Clear View Baby in-Sight Auto Mirror, Dark Grey

As a new mom I was very anxious about not being able to see baby while driving. This little mirror fixed that. It's big enough to see the entire car seat and is very clear. It anchors well to the head rest and is adjustable so will fit a variety of vehicles.

I was really only buying this for my 5mo to have something to look at while we're driving to keep him preoccupied. It works perfectly for that, but it's also great when the light is coming in weirdly and my camera can't adjust quickly enough. It's also great that he can see me in the rear view mirror too! So it's a win, win, win all around. Install was intuitive but I did follow the directions to make sure it was safely installed. It's a great size and works perfectly on my middle headrest on the bench seat in the back. Doesn't obstruct my view. Ended up purchasing a second for my mom's vehicle.

It is a great tool and very secured to the headrest, no worries of it coming off if we were to get into a wreck.

This mirror does the job, most of the time. It’s very simple to install but with its simplicity, it lacks some features that could help with the use of it. It has the tendency to slide off or shift when bumped causing the angle to be off in being about to see your baby. I wouldn’t say it fits all head rests given that we’ve tried using it in a different car and it just doesn’t sit right. We‘ve had it for 3 years now and have used it for 2 babies. Like I said, it does the job but isn’t anything super extraordinary.

I was torn between purchasing a baby car mirror with a pivot/rotating arm or this flat one. I'm glad I got this flat mirror as it works well and it lies flat against my seat. It's easy to install and I put a burp cloth behind the top part of it to give it a better angle. The baby shows up clear and is not distorted. It doesn't move when I'm driving. Though sometimes I knock into the mirror when putting my baby in the car seat so I have to fix it, but figured if I had a mirror with a pivoting/rotating arm that I would be more likely knock into it as it sticks out further. I've used it in both a 2015 Subaru Legacy and 2015 Honda Accord in the back right seat's headrest. Yes, it does create a small blind spot because the mirror is bigger than the headrest which I was worried about but it's the trade off for seeing the baby clearly. I got this mirror because I drive alone and wanted to check on my baby to see if he was sleeping, unhappy, or in distress. Recently my little one was crying while I was on the highway and I checked in the mirror and saw his hat fell over his eyes so I reached my arm back and lifted up his hat. It is important to note that once it nighttime and dark outside, you can hardly see into the mirror unless you are at the traffic light or a car's headlights shine a certain way into your car.

Can’t adjust the view

Not the easiest to install as there are no instructions, but it's not rocket science... The hardest part is adjusting getting back in the driver's seat to look in the mirror and making adjustments again...On a side note I've owned 2 of these mirrors for 2 years (purchased from a big box stores with a red circle ⭕ with a red dot in the middle.) Now I have a 2nd child on the way I wanted 2 more and was able to get a slightly better deal from the Amazon warehouse. The biggest problem with the mirror is when your kid bumps it getting into his seat. Once you get it adjusted, tightly, it does hold it's position well. Overall I like it so much we now have 4, 2 in each car, 1 for each kid... Even if the older child climbs in his seat by himself and occasionally uses it as a handle to pull himself in, and thus requiring an adjustment.

I've found that car mirrors can be tricky to find. I had another one that I didn't like that made my child look like on of those silly phone apps that expands your chin or forehead, making one look like a big cartoon. I didn't like the distortion on that particular mirror at all - it drove me crazy. Compared to this mirror - my other mirror could change direction, which seemed like a great feature at the time - but if you bumped that one when you got in (inevitable when putting a child in the car seat) - then you'd start driving only to find you couldn't see your child. Bottom line, compared to other mirrors I've seen in stores & the mirror I had previously - this is a no fuss, great quality mirror. It adapts easily to many car situations (since not all can wrap around just a headrest), it stays in place & it provides a great view of your child. I liked it so much I bought one for the other vehicle & if we have another child - I'd buy it again and recommend it to everyone who in search of such an item.
