Customer Review: Nice big mirror for baby to touch and talk at
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at Fisher Price's Activity Crib Mirrors with flashing lights and sounds. I looked at Baby Einstein.
But I chose the Sassy "Me in the Mirror" for several reasons (and ended up buying two, one for home and one for Grandpa Daycare).
1. The mirror is a nice big square mirror, large enough for baby to see his WHOLE face, not just his eyes and nose or nose and mouth in, like some of the Fisher Price and Baby Einstein mirrors.
Babies need to see themselves making faces and sounds so that they can recognize speech patterns and learn that when they go "Oooo", their face is elongated vs. "Ahhhh", where they look more like they are smiling. They also interact with their image, delightedly learning in time that they are smiling back at themselves.
A small mirror doesn't allow a baby to see anything but disjointed images.
2. The toys on this mirror don't obstruct baby's image, but they do capture baby's imagination. My three month old son immediately grabbed for the sun, which twists left and right and also has a squeezy toy inside that squeeks, moving it like a little steering wheel. He doesn't really enjoy tummy time, unless it's on mommy or daddy's stomach, but he immediately took to being on his stomach in front of this mirror! YAY!
Some of the other toys on this mirror were also very entertaining for him; the little curly fabric swatches, he grabs onto and pulls the mirror towards himself (with mom watching to make sure it won't tip over). The birdy is a shaker rattle with crinkly wings, and the ladybug is a spinny toy with soft felty green fur and yellow ribbon legs.
The whole mirror is brightly colored in highly contrasting colors and geometric shapes, just begging for baby to look at it. It can be stood up like a tent for tummy time, it can be attached to a crib and angled towards baby, it also can lay flat, with velcro keeping the mirror from tenting out. And on the back is a clear plastic pocket where you are encouraged to put a picture of people baby loves, so that when he plays with the toy, he is reminded of those who love him.
3. I have a lot of toys that make noise and have lights and sounds, but I wanted a mirror toy that was quiet; that would encourage baby to make the sounds at the mirror, instead of baby stopping his cooing and ooing and ahhing in order to listen to another rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". This mirror encourages baby to squeal in delight at himself, or touch the image looking back at himself.
4. The reflective surface is not glass, but a plastic/metal (?) and that's a safety feature I really like, I've heard of mirrors breaking and potentially putting baby in harms way. And, also another feature I consider important is that it's lightweight. If this crib mirror were to accidentally topple and bonk baby on the noggin in tent mode (heaven forbid, because that means I wasn't paying attention to baby and would be missing his sweet smiles, as well as being negligent), it would do no lasting harm besides startling baby and causing him to cry for a bit (and hopefully that would get my attention and as a parent I'd swoop in, cuddle and comfort him).
5. And finally...The Price is Right. The mirror is inexpensive and doesn't require batteries. And it seems like everything out there requires batteries in order to entertain baby. Sassy's Me in the Mirror proves you don't need batteries to capture baby's attention.
Cheers!
