Baby Products Reviews of Sunshine Kids Easy View Back Seat Mirror
Customer Review: Need to make sure it is secure
Summary: 3 Stars
I need to agree with some of the other reviewers it is very important that you keep the mirror firmly fastened to the seat. Make sure that you don't accidently don't bump the mirror and inadvertently loosen in when putting in the car seat.
A few points
- It takes a little trial-and-error to get the mirror aimed correctly so that it lines up with the baby's face and your rear-view mirror. We have to adjust it whenever we have a new driver in the car.
- Remember it is totally useless in the dark. I know that this may seem obvious, but you do need a fair amount of light in order to see the baby.
Final Verdict - As long as you keep it fastened tightly - I am not too worried about the mirror being a safety risk. However, it isn't very robust in terms of being able to see the baby clearly for a variety of angles. While it is not a perfect product I am not sure if there is anything better on the market or how it could be substantially improved.

Customer Review: Great mirror - love that it adjusts
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using this mirror for about a year. It has been great. I could not find many types of mirrors that swiveled to adjust. Many were just flat which doesn't work if your baby isn't right in front of a headrest. We had our infant in the middle rear seat and could put the mirror on the headrest on the side next to him. Both the driver and the front passenger (with the mirror in the viser) have a great view of the little one. The mirror stays in place pretty well. Just have to adjust it when we bump it occasionally.
Pros: adjusts so doesn't have to be right in front of baby. stays in position well.
Cons: would not work on some kinds of headrests. In my husband's car, the headrests are kind of molded to the back seat and there's nothing to put the strap around securely. so make sure you have "regular" headrests. this has rarely been a concern for us as we usually all travel in our other car.
Customer Review: Mama, Daddy, & Baby All Love This Mirror!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love, love, love this mirror! We got it so we could see our baby and tell if she were sleeping or awake. We got so much more. Who knew it would be so enjoyable for our little one? We also have a toy bar in the back seat to keep her entertained, but she hardly even looks at it. She is so mesmerized by this mirror. She likes to watch all the lights reflecting in it at night, and she can see mommy and daddy in the reflection during the day. She also enjoys seeing herself in it. The image is clear, so we have no problems seeing her or even if her eyes are open or shut. The clarity is unmatched as far as I am concerned. I asked daddy about installation, and he said it was easy. I would highly recommend this mirror!Customer Review: not safe - CHP agreed
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not a safe product. Beware. The mirror is attached to a strap via a 'ball in socket' plastic connector. On day three of owning this product, the mirror fell out of the socket while we were driving. The mirror unit did not properly snap back in to the socket after falling out.
Separately, we had run the car thru the CHP (california highway patrol) checkpoint to make sure our baby seat was installed correctly the same week. The CHP reinforced how dangerous the Sunshine Kids Easy View mirror is - we were reminded by the officer that we were lucky it did not injure our infant son when it fell off. We would return it for a refund, but with postage, it nets out the cost of the poor quality product.
Customer Review: I can actually see my baby!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mirror is great. I had used the Eddie Bauer mirror before this one and that one is a piece of junk. The other one kept falling apart and falling on my daughter and I would have to adjust it every time I took her in or out of the car. I have used this one now for a few months and haven't had a single prolem with it. Plus I can actually see my daughter really well and it is the most secure out of all the mirrors that I have seen because it clips together with a heavy plastic clip in the back of the headrest. You have to make sure in an accident that those things will stay put and not come crashing down on your baby.
