I bought this mirror after reading review after review of the various mirrors here on Amazon. This mirror is large and durable so it doesn't get contorted. I have this mirror i aimed at baby so I can see this mirror in my rear view mirror at a glance and see my baby is okay. You wouldn't think you need to keep checking on a baby when driving but I have heard stories of kids vomiting in their car seat or putting some odd small object in their mouth and the parents not realizing until it's too late. I understand the odds of that happening are super slim but this mirror gives me the piece of mind I needed while commuting wherever with baby.

Two problems you might encounter -- first it is technically unsafe to put anything near your child's carseat. In the event of a serious accident the carseat essentially creates a closing clam shell to protect your child. If a mirror is directly in front of your child it could cause injury. Consider instead placing the mirror as far to the side as possible and then angling it down to face your child. Second you really need a headrest to attach this to. Some seat designs have weird headrests and this might not attach so be prepared for 20 minutes of adjust/squishing/tightening to get this mirror to safely secure to your headrest (if it fits).
