Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Deluxe Auto Mirror
Customer Review: Terrible! I should have listened to the reviews
Summary: 1 Stars
I put the batteries in and nothing works! No lights, no music, I could have just purchased a $1.99 drugstore mirror and mounted it on the headrest. I'm especially irked because I live in the Middle East and paid all this money to have it shipped here and it doesn't even work. What a waste of money.
Please note that this actually isn't manufactured by Fisher Price; the name is licensed. I actually called Fisher Price to tell them that this company, Blue Ridge, is giving Fisher Price a bad name! I read the reviews on this and knew what I was getting myself into, but thought oh, since I generally have good luck with products, it'll be OK. Actually, it's not OK! I emailed Blue Ridge to tell them about this issue. It seems as though the receiver on the mirror is defective. We'll see what they have to say.
Customer Review: WORTH THE MONEY AND PEACE OF MIND
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok. well I gave this toy 3 stars overall. It would be 5 stars but the mirror quit working all together after about 2 months from the first time I used it. Maybe I got a faulty one cause it doesn't look like that is a recurring problem. That is the only negative side to this mirror for me.
some may see this as big but that feature was minor for me because I had toys attached to the baby's carrier to entertain him.
The mirror fit my car perfectly and the remote fit my visor perfectly. (I have a dodge stratus.) I recommend getting this toy or at least something similar, simple because the peace of mind of being able to see my little baby was worth its weight in gold. When the baby was 1 month old I had to drive by myself and being able to see how my little boy was doing was very important to me.
Customer Review: Saved me from worrying
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this mirror when my daughter was four months old. Initially we got it because she hated riding in the car seat, and we hoped the sound and lights would distract her. It did the trick sometimes, but not always. Eventually the batteries wore out, and we didn't replace them since my daughter didn't mind the car as much anymore. However, the best part about this mirror is that I can SEE my daughter. I can't imagine going in any car without taking this mirror along with me. I have never had trouble with it staying up.
My daughter is old enough to be forward facing now, but since I always have the peace of mind of being able to see her then we haven't switched her from the rear facing mode (which evidently is safer anyway). I highly recommend this product if only because of the mirror feature.
Customer Review: My 5 month old loves it!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got a new car and the Ocean Wonder's mirror we were using does not work very well in it so I went looking for a new mirror. I first bought an Eddie Bauer mirror and it was flimsy, distorted, and did not fit my car so I returned it and got the Rainforest mirror instead. I love how the Rainforest mirror attaches securely to the headrest. The only problem is that it was easy to slide back and forth on the leather headrest, but I solved that by placing a piece of non-slip shelf liner under the strap. My 5 month old absolutely loves looking at himself and the animals, and the music and lights are a nice distraction when he gets fussy. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I wish it had an auto-off feature since it is easy to forget to turn off when trying to get two kids out of the car.Customer Review: Had to return twice!

I am 9 months pregnant and saw this mirror at toys r us and fell in love with it. When i went home to put batteries in it the mirror would not activate so i figured i had to use the remote to activate it. But when i tried to put batteries in the remote the top screw would not unscrew. It turned in a circle 100 times and did nothing. I thought perhaps i got a defective one so i exchanged it at toys r us and to my dissatisfaction, when i returned home with what i thought was a new mirror, i opened the box and the remotes screws were completely stripped. Someone must have has the same "defective" problem as i, and toys r us just put it right back on the shelf! I'm dissapointed because i generally trust fisher prices products, and now will think twice before buying anything without opening the box first.
