How does this work for seeing kids in rear-facing carseats? Particularly those behind the driver?

You will not be able to see the kids (you will see the back of their seats).

Do you mean with the over the seat mirror reflecting the baby? Whatever is behind your head in the car you can see better with this mirror. Warning- your kids will also clearly see you roll your eyes.

I have a booster aged child behind my driver seat and I can see her great. If you have a rear facing seat behind you, I suppose you'd see him/her with a mirror in from of them. Does that make sense? It's a big mirror and I love it! I can see everyone in our 15 passenger ford van.

You have to have mirrors for the babies as well. You will be able to see them in the mirror you put on the headrest they are facing. Just like any other mirror system you would buy for a baby, except this mirror is large enough to see two babies (one behind the passenger and one behind the driver). It's great because you can see so much more than you can with a traditional rearview mirror. I have twins...it WORKS!! :)

The Pikibu mirror expands the viewing area of your regular rear-view mirror. The same challenges for rear-facing car seats still exists but if you have one of those little mirrors that attaches to the rear seat head rest, you will be able to see your infant.

I didn't have it yet when my son was rear facing and he was on the passenger side but this would allow you to see him/her as long as you have a mirror also on the rear seat. That's the only way you can see the little one but with a standard rearview mirror you can't see behind the driver's seat. With this mirror, the way it is curved, you should be able to. I would recommend getting (if you done already have one) a rear mirror that can tilt and adjust do you can make the angles just right. Good luck!

GREAT! I have it in a Mazda 3 and can see out both side windows in the back!

If you have a mirror already for a rear-facing infant then it works perfectly. I can see everything! (including my blind spots)

So, it's a bit deceptive, in that the Graco seat has to be in recline mode in order to be rear-facing. Basically, you pull out these "feet" from the underside of the seat in order to put the car seat into recline position when you install to face backwards, and it can't be adjusted into an upright position unless the seat is facing forward, which is one of the drawbacks of the seat and one of the pluses of the Britax Marathon. That said, my daughter loves this seat. She's a year and a half, but on the smaller side, and she has been riding (and napping) in this seat comfortably since she was a little over a year old.

It depends on the vehicle you drive and where you put the car seat. I have mine in the middle so my son can see out of front window, he can sort of see out side windows but that's because I drive an SUV. Once we put his seat in the truck ford F 150 and he could see great out if the window because the window is pretty low. Hope it helps

You can put a carseat in either seat (with front attacent included) and a toddler in either seat (facing forward). The baby in carseat will face the driver.

The cable is not long enough to reach from the front headrest to the opposite side back headrest. Depending on what vehicle you drive it could work if you mount the secondary screen on the middle back headrest which has adequate viewing for the smaller child in the rear facing seat. For reasons of safety, it would be best to invest in longer cables, so you can tuck the cables away from the older childs reach.

It clips on over your existing mirror but it doesn't prevent you from seeing behind you. it actually gives a great view of the kids while still letting you see traffic at the same time. Things behind the vehicle do seem slightly smaller because of the way the mirror is made. I found this to be a good trade off so I can see my little one without having to compromise on checking traffic.

For me it does... I have an 18 month-old who sits rear-facing. I mounted the holder on the front of the headrest in my honda pilot with no issues.

Boosters sit the child more upright than their previous car seats which are tilted backward. This would be like you falling asleep in your seat with the exception of the awesome sides on the headrest which comfortably support my son's head when he falls asleep in the car. Just like in your own seat, you can tilt his seat back and the booster will tilt with it. Otherwise the head could fall forward but my son always manages to seek one of the sides to rest his head as you or I would if we were dozing in the seat. Hope that helps!

Can't say for sure, but it'd probably show a bigger image (at least on the driver's side) than you'd get with a rear-view mirror. I hate to drive without my auxiliary mirror--when I drive someone else's car, I feel naked.

Yes, I bought to be able to see my two children in the back and I can. It takes a bit (about a day) to get used to the view while driving but then it is great.

Yes! This will give you a view of the whole back seat(s) baring any obstruction. An obstruction being if the front passenger seat being tall enough and a child being short enough that you can't see them REALLY well, but you can see them.

I think it depends on the driver. We have a Cadillac ATS, which has a small back seat, since my husband is tall we keep the carseat behind the passenger seat.

I haven't even used one car seat adapter. I wanted the back seat to face me and the front seat to face outwards. Although it can do this, neither seat can be reclined. This has been my only complaint.

I have been to an indoor kids park where they backed two up against each other. The momentum got them back up the other side. The kids would go backwards on the way back or just get up and flip the car around. Sometimes the two tracks would scoot slightly out of line so a nearby parent was handy to constantly push them back into place. This was the first time I'd ever seen one so I thought that's what it was meant to do. Anyway, hope that helps.

It depends on the angle. If they're behind you- even from a couple of feet, they can see the screen

Try the "Sunshine Kids Ultra-Mat Ulimate 2-Part Undermat Car Seat Mat" or the "DuoMat 2-in-1 Car Seat and Mat by Kiddopotamus" Look for padded bottom and seat cover, so that it can be used rearfacing and forward facing. Either way they protect well. Skip the ones that only cover the seat because your child will kick the cloth and it won't be protected.

We had a frame that you click the two car seats onto- one behind the other . The children are twins so the car seats were identical. This was as close as we could get to covering the double stoller. I had the same experience as the other person. The fit is not perfect in the back but my daughter used clips or clothespins and the children were covered. The cover never fits back in the bag. For the price this was a good choice. I hope this helps you.
