Can’t see your baby in a rear facing car seat? You need this!

Quite often it’s only when you have all the new baby equipment in place that you realise the glaring problem that should have always been obvious. All babies up to the age of 15 months have to use a rear-facing car seat and it is recommended that you keep your child rear facing for as long as possible if you have a child car seat that offers this. This is great, your child is sat in the back seat, facing behind in their car seat. Then they start to cry. You’re driving alone (apart from your baby) on a busy road, or on the motorway with no way of seeing why your child is crying or being able to make eye contact to reassure and soothe them. What to do? Well, you have to hope they will calm themselves down until you can find a suitable place to pull over and see they are OK.

Or, you’ve read this article and now know that what you need is a baby car mirror! A really simple solution for what could be a big and distressing problem. One of those, ‘why didn’t I think of it?’ moments that seem to occur all the time when you’re a parent.

See your child in a rear-facing child seat with a baby car mirror

Here’s how it all works. With the rear-facing seat set up all your baby can see is the back of the rear car seats and the headrest. The car mirror attaches to that headrest in front of your baby. So now your baby can see anything in that mirror. You sit in the driver’s seat and get a partner, friend, neighbour to angle the baby car mirror so you can see your baby in the rearview mirror and they can see you. Cue lots of happy smiles and giggles as your baby realises she isn’t all alone in the back of the car and actually mummy or daddy is still there to look after her.

Phew! Problem solved.

Hopefully, this will make the first (and every trip) a little bit more relaxing. After all, being able to use your car with your little one opens up a whole new world of possibilities for visits and trips that you will both enjoy.

Customer Feedback

Here’s a few of the lovely comments we’ve got from customers over on Amazon. Happily, our baby car mirror is a best seller and we have nearly 500 positive comments. You can take a look for yourself if you end up purchasing one.

“It was really easy to install and because it was really good value, I bought two, one for each car so we don’t need to swop it over each time we move the car seat between our cars. I would highly recommend this product.”

“Once tightly fitted, it wont fall off. The mirror, black plastic and straps are all made from good quality material. I’ve been using this for nearly five months now.”

The comment below is such a great one- basically one of the prime reasons we sell this product and exactly what this article is all about!

“As a first time mother I was anxious having to drive without being able to see my baby in her rear facing seat and my baby cried during car trips because she thought she was alone. After one particularly disastrous drive to visit an aunt I went online to search for ideas about how to keep baby happy while driving and after a while I found this mirror.

This makes driving much more pleasant. Now my baby can see me and I can see her and she smiles at me in the mirror.

I’m so happy with it I want to surprise my friends who are expecting a baby soon with a gift of one of these.”
