We mounted the mirrors on a vibration platform with much more substantial movement than a normal vehicle. None of the mirrors experienced much position change even in this exaggerated vibration environment. Baby mirror vibration testing Visibility There are two main types of car mirrors, which depends on what car seat you’ve already got in your car. Baby car mirrors are used with rear-view seats or front-facing seats. Another popular standard baby mirror for the car that’s a direct competitor to the ONCO alternative is the Venture mirror. It features an extra large convex lens that’s designed to provide a superior view of your child in their seat. If you only want a forward facing baby car mirror, the Diono See Me Too is the best option. It’s designed to attach to your car’s rearview mirror and includes a universal attachment that installs in a matter of minutes. The remote control doesn’t have an on/off button, so you must turn the mirror on manually before driving.
Our research shows that the most common complaints about baby car mirrors are related to quality and durability. Inferior design and part quality can influence product safety, so parents are justified in their concerns. Baby car mirrors that have entertaining features like lights and music are often heavy. Not to mention they’re usually made of hard plastic, which can create a dangerous projectile in the event of a collision. But the Peanutshell Woodland Car Seat Musical Mirror is light and has a soft, padded frame, making it a more appropriate option. The strong webbing straps attach vertically and horizontally to keep the mirror secure. Budget– generally, baby car mirrors are not an expensive item to buy. But the more features that are included, the more expensive the mirror will be. So, it is worth considering whether you want a basic baby car mirror that simply allowsImage size: The larger the mirror, the easier it is to see your baby — and more of them too. Larger mirrors, however, can be heavier and bulkier, which may make it more prone to pivoting. The main things to look out for, are mirrors that are going to give you a wide angle view, offering you a look at more than just one area of your child/children. Most options will be fully adjustable to give you your preferred view, without disrupting anything else.
Many baby car seat mirrors on the market seem to be almost identical, and we speculate are made with the same materials and at the same location in China. The Itomoro and six other mirrors are strikingly similar. Even as your baby gets older and can switch to a front-facing car seat, it’s not recommended to look over your shoulder or change any mirrors in your car to view your child. No parents want to have to deal with extra stress on a journey or drive. When you have a front-facing car seat, there are baby car mirrors that you can attach to your rear-view mirror or visor so that you can have a better line of sight without changing the angle of your car mirrors. How do I install a baby car mirror? There are minor design differences in some of the mirrors. Most are 15 ounces but a few are 13 to 14 ounces. Some have a slightly different attachment mechanism between the mirror frame and baseplate. Both of our vehicles have tinted windows to some degree which probably solved the problem. We will be testing sunshades soon, which are a good solution for sun protection and mirror quality. Mirrors for Forward-Facing ChildrenAnother baby car mirror that comes with the desirable LED lighting is by the FITNATE brand. Unlike the Munchkin alternative above, it has a more subtle design that maximize the view of your baby on the rear seat. In addition to 15 reflective mirrors, we also evaluated 3 camera and monitor based mirrors. We recommend the Rohent Baby Car Camera because of its excellent picture quality and monitor mounting flexibility. When you’re with your baby, it’s likely you'll rarely have your eyes off them which is why baby car mirrors are essential for any parent when travelling in the car.
Strap attachments: Since you can't actually crash-test the mirror yourself, you'll need to use your best judgement about whether or not it will be able to withstand the force of an impact. "You want to find the most securely connected mirror you can — ideally straps that go around the headrest horizontally as well as over it vertically, [secured] either with strong Velcro or clips that could hopefully hold up to the forces of a crash," says Loeb. The features are easy to operate: Simply press the button on your remote control clips, and the raccoon's face lights up in colors that change every few seconds. Use the light solo or play soothing nursery songs like Brahms' Lullaby, which have a full, rich sound. You can use the remote to turn the volume down, an important feature since music and lights can be a driving distraction under some circumstances. Parents say this mirror gives a good view day or night, and that the remote is easy to operate. The light is soft, more of a glow than a glare, parents say, and doesn't detract from their view of the road. They also say the solid ball-joint pivot makes the mirror easy to adjust to the correct angle. The funbliss Baby Car Mirror earned our Budget Choice award for its low price point and excellent durability. We are not aware of any credible research on the safety of baby car seat mirrors. Nor are we aware of any statistics directly related to accidents involving baby car seat mirrors.Fortunately, baby car mirrors present a simple solution to this problem which will give you complete peace of mind while driving. We found the mirrors with smoother, silkier straps were easier to tighten than those with straps made with a coarser weave. As examples, the Lusso, Brica 360 and Shynerk SH-M-01 had smooth straps, and the Onco, Skip Hop and DARVIQ had coarse straps, while Britax was somewhere in between. Skip Hop coarse weave, left, Lusso fine weave, right. Strap Tightness It is 11.75″ x 7.5″, similar in size to the Britax mirror. It also has a two-strap system, vertical and horizontal for attachment to an adjustable headrest. It is not recommended for vehicles with fixed headrests. Car mirrors can be soothing to parents who get anxious when they can’t see their baby. But it’s important to use them correctly to ensure a safe ride.
There’s no federal standardized testing for baby car mirrors. These devices are not scrutinized like car seats, which undergo rigorous testing before they can be sold in the United States. This might not seem like a big deal, but in the event of a crash, any additional object in a car could pose a safety risk. "Even if companies claim that their mirrors are 'crash tested,' there’s no standardized testing for these,” says Loeb. “We don’t know if that means that the straps hold up or that the plastic doesn’t break or that they land a certain way after a crash. It’s a designation meant to convey safety, but it doesn’t give us much actual information.” This is true even of mirrors made by car seat manufacturers. The mirror is constructed from shatter-resistant materials and glare-free LED lights to minimize driving distraction. Installation is also quite simple thanks to criss-crossing straps that can be secured to a headrest. The remote requires a lithium button cell battery (included), and the mirror needs four AAA batteries. The copycat mirrors include these brands: Itomoro, Smart eLf, Hocany, Shynerk (SH-M-01, SH-M-02), Zacro, and DARVIQS. Overall, the Venture Baby Car Mirror is the best budget option that’s built to last and even comes with a lifetime warranty for complete peace of mind. The extra large convex lens also provides a great view of your child too.There are many different baby car seat mirrors to choose from, and the choice can seem overwhelming. Here are some factors to keep in mind when choosing a baby mirror for the car: Bigger is not always better. While we love certain mirrors for offering a broader view and wider angle to see our kids, a bigger mirror might also make it more accessible to your child. This is also something to consider when opting for a rotating or swiveling mirror, which can be adjusted if tiny hands and feet can reach them, unlike fixed mirrors that strap tightly to a headrest.
