If the baby is rear facing, inthe middle back seat, will you still be able to install this mirror

If you want to see your bub from your rear mirror, you need a head rest in the middle back seat. Having said that, I have to install it upside down and slip a towel between the mirror and headrest just so it could be angled that enable me to see my bub from the driver's seat using the rear mirror.

Sorry, I'm not sure as I did not buy for myself. However, the person I gave it to used it when the baby was front-facing.

we have been trying for some time now, in many ways to install it that way, but it is not working. its not easy to adjust & tilt the mirror so the driver can see the baby properly.

It can be placed rear facing but you would have to check manufacturers minimum weight for using it for a baby

No problem here, I use the mirror to park in a very tight spot and I have to get the car as close to the wall as possible. The mirror allows me to see as the bumper is approaching the wall without hitting it yet being very close to the wall. Works great!!

No. Not & still look right. It clamps over the rear view mirror. They sell a similar system w/ a dash mount screen for less money.

Yes. It is convertible, so it can be installed to either be rear or front facing.

This really would depend on how you have to have your front seats positioned. I know a mom who has this seat installed rear-facing in an older model 2 door honda civic and she has no issues with getting it installed or using it with her daughter. Best advice would be to hit up a babies r us or another store that allows you to take the seat out to the car and try it in the back seat where you want to place your child. Remember though it will likely fit nicer when properly installed by a tech then when you take it out to the car to try it. You will need a pool noodle (my recommendation) or a rolled towel to get a good Rear-facing install. Once you know if it would fit come on-line and order it for a better deal and nicer covers. I can't say enough positive things about this seat. I passed up buying a First Years (Compass) True Fit and Britax Marathon or Boulevard for this seat and I wouldn't trade it for any of the seats on the market today.

Yes and no. Once you install this device it essentially covers your existing mirror with a mirror of its own. So you will no longer have the mirror you have now, but the new one that is essentially a part of this device, think of it as a rear-view mirror with cameras attached.

Mirror needs to have some place to hang from. As long as u can loop it around the head rest u can use it.

Probably not :/ maybe in the center so that it's between the seats, or maybe behind the passenger seat but then the passenger seat might be so far forward that it's very uncomfortable or unusable. I ended up getting the safety 1st guide 65 for our baby who is now 10 days old and it fits rear facing behind the passenger seat in a 4 door Pontiac g6.

I had the same concern, as my baby us in the middle too! There are instructions to set it up in the middle. It does not requir a head rest! This was one of the only mirrors I found that you can use in the middle! Hope this helps

Hard to say... considering newborns (at least) can only see about 10"-14" away anyway. In theory a child who is "old enough" and can recognize her/himself in mirrors would be able to (I think?). The mirror is large enough that it is possible. I'm just not sure developmentally that a rear-facing child has the ability to really see in that way (with two mirrors and at that distance).

Depends on whether your current rear view mirror is epoxied on. If it is, you're screwed and shouldn't buy the CIPA.

No, it cannot be rear facing. Only babies younger than 1 year old should be rear facing. This car seat is for toddlers for about 2 years or older and should always be front facing.

Yes you can. I have a short 20 month old and I have him forward facing in a chicco next fit. I can see him perfectly. I drive a kia sorrento. Definitely recommend this mirror.

It can be angled back for rear-facing. They recommend a rolled up towel to help with this, and that is what we've done for the last year. (As a side note- the cup holder doesn't stay attached.)

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.

Only if they can see your reflection via your rear view mirror.n we bought an oversized mirror that is made to fit over the rear view mirror and that lets baby see more of the driver's face. of course, he prefers seeing big brother next to him, so it hasnt been a prob for our baby.
