What Are The Important Attributes Of A Back Seat Mirror For Monitoring Your Infant

By Michael Tomco


Most moms will tell you, that it is a difficult drive when your baby is screaming and squirming the entire way. It is distressing to both the parent and the child. There is, however, a handy tool that can strapped to the back seat that can help. It is a mirror that can be used to check on the baby through the rearview mirror of the car. What are the important attributes of a back seat mirror for monitoring your infant?

The stress of hearing the baby cry and not being able to see what the problem might be; can become a distraction. These are very dangerous, as the driver can focus shifts from the road to the baby. By stretching to grasp their hand, and shuffling around to find their pacifier blindly searching for their face can be extremely distressing and dangerous to both. The baby will just become more and more agitated, and the mother will become more distracted and concerned.

With the two mirrors, there can be facial communication that may be required by some. All babies react differently to car trips. Some find them excruciatingly unbearable while others find them soothing and often fall asleep. For a mother, the device can help ease the baby's discomfort while monitoring what the child's needs may be.

These are comforting to both parties involved, as you can monitor the baby's needs while they feel secure in your presence. A smile can go a long way as you soothingly talk to the child. Most times the security of being able to see their parent is enough to keep them calm throughout the trip. Parents' movements and facial expressions can keep them entertained while you safely keep one's eyes on the road. Now and then you can quickly glance at the back through one's mirror.

Another good way to ensure that the baby has a pleasurable drive is to ensure they have some entertainment available to them. Hang toys from one side of the back seat to the other at a reachable distance to the baby. Always remember to change them at regular intervals to prevent boredom. Make sure they have a pacifier in their reach or their bottle if they are old enough to hold it for themselves.

Remember safety comes first, and whether the baby is crying or not, the unit can divulge whether they are just irritable or if there is something more severe wrong. This helpful tool is a safety promoter as well as a stress reliever. Perhaps your baby is just hot, if everything else seems fine, open a window slightly to allow in a breeze.

Some music can also help to distract them from their discomfort, or perhaps you could sing some familiar songs. Some moms also use a CD of white noise which can have a calming effect. Others have a mobile of toys that brightly colored attached to their car seat, which they can reach and play.

With all of these helpful items available in the car, the drive can become a happy one without any unnecessary drama. The mirror attached in front of the baby can become an extra set of eyes for a concerned parent. And can also safely alert you of any distress the baby might be feeling, or of anything they might need. These are a clever way to monitor the baby, which includes in the winning formulae, the safety of everyone concerned.
