As a new parent, driving solo with your baby can be mighty nerve-racking because it may well be the first time you’ve had to avert your eyes away from them, apart from during the precious few hours of sleep.
A clever reflective device called a mirror helps us deal with this. They allow a momentary glance into the rear seat to make sure all is well with your tiny passenger.
In order to give you some direction in finding a baby mirror you’ll like, check out our selection below. Many mirrors are cutesy but not terribly functional, so we’ve focused on making sure that our recommendations are effective. And if they are cutesy too, well that’s a nice bonus.
The best baby car mirrors
A classic, functional wide convex mirror for the back seat. Streetwize is known for its car accessories, and this one will serve you well. It has a bracket that you attach to the headrest, and the arm gives you plenty of tilt and 360-degree rotation.
This large convex mirror offers a wide-angle, shatter-resistant view of your baby as you drive. Crash-tested and distortion-free, the soft-touch frame looks great in any car interior.
Rrp: £15.99
Price: £12.99
Like the mirror above, this one from Onco is shatterproof, too. It easily and securely installs with straps and clips. And you get 360-degree rotation too, to find the perfect angle.
Price: £14.41 (was £16.99)
A very cute option from Maxi-Cosi. This car mirror complete with little ears offers excellent adjustability and a convex wide-angle view of your baby. It’s also very easy to install and made from top-quality materials.
This mirror is shatterproof and impact-resistant. This ensures that your baby stays safe at all times. The secure double strapping similar to the Onco mirror means that it stays firmly in place. It can be attached to your car in seconds, and is designed to fit any vehicle headrest including smaller cars and SUV’s.
Simple and functional, this mirror from Halfords has a couple of neat features. One is the rear foam padding to protect the headrest. The other is good visibility for a fairly compact size. It’s a good price, too.
Rrp: £42.99
Price: £37.00
Not only does this Koala in Car Play Centre offer a high-quality baby-safe curved mirror for rear-facing babies, but it will keep them entertained during the journey, too. Attached rattling soft toys include a crinkling rainbow, jingling Kimmy the koala and rattling Scotty the snail with a baby teether. There’s an adjustable strap, too.
