I got this mirror for my 7 month old daughter. By the time she turned 8 months old she was able to take out the round part plastic that covers the lights and I FOUND IT IN HER MOUTH when I stopped the car. She could have chocked on it if I drove a little longer!!!! I put this piece of junk in the GARBAGE where it belongs!!! VERY DANGEROUS!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great mirror BUT terribly FRUSTRATING!!!, March 20, 2010

This review is from: Baby Einstein Lights & Melodies Mirror (Baby Product)

Originally purchased a Fisher-Price auto mirror:Fisher-Price Rainforest Baby View Auto Mirror which installed in our sedans middle seat w/out a head rest VERY easily, but then saw this one & loved the large size of the mirror & also the lights and music.
We did think that the lights were going to have the ability to be activated by the baby- by kick, since the lights are located at the bottom and still wish the company would do this.

This product is SOO poorly executed by the company: it was completely frustrating to install!
According to the package instructions the mirror is 'supposed' to be able to install on a head rest, crib or w/out a head rest which is what we attempted.
We followed the instructions & resulted in a mirror that the baby could not see into and that we couldn't see the baby in!
1. There's no included way to angle the mirror for baby to view or for us to view baby.
Not a problem with the much less expensive Fisher-Price mirror.
2. The placement of the battery compartment is at the bottom where the catepillar lights are- It makes the bottom of the mirror stick out- preventing the mirror from lying flat & further keeping the mirror from achieving an angle the baby can use. When my mom saw the mirror she thought it was upside down- which would have actually worked better!
3. Although it IS cute and entertaining for baby it isn't worth the price or the absolute FRUSTRATION.

If you do decide to get it: what worked for our installation was placing a rolled towel underneath the straps which anchor to the back seat. This allows the mirror to sort of lay on the towel- stick out a bit and angle down for baby and us. It isn't perfect because the battery compartment is still in the way.
At night we adjust the towel a bit so the baby has a better view of the lights- when baby can't see in the mirror anyhow...

2.0 out of 5 stars So cute-- Too Bad it doesn't do what it's supposed to!!, August 16, 2010

This review is from: Baby Einstein Lights & Melodies Mirror (Baby Product)

I bought this mirror to use in my husband's car- a Honda CRV- unfortunately, there is no way to install it so that the baby can see in the mirror or we can see her! I couldn't return it because I had to basically destroy the box to get it out. Waste of $30. The Fisher Price mirror in my car was half the price and installs perfectly. No luck switching either- the Baby Einstein Mirror didn't work in my Nissan Altima either. I'm contemplating writing the manufacturer but that probably won't get anywhere.

If you want this for the crib- maybe that would work- but for the car- 2 thumbs down!
