It is important to many Mamas to always have eyes on their little one, especially in the car. If you are driving alone with your baby and your little one is rear facing in their carseat, it can create some heightened anxiety since you can’t see your baby’s every move. There are car seat mirrors you can purchase, to attach to the rear headrest, so you can look at your baby through your rear view mirror. However, it is 2023 and technology has caught up with the times- affordable car cameras are also available to purchase.

4.3" HD Shynerk Baby Car Mirror Camera
The Shynerk Baby Car Mirror Camera is an overall good option if you are looking for a camera as opposed to a mirror. It is very easy to set up, simply clip to the headrest in front of your baby and plug into your car’s power outlet (cigarette lighter), and turn it on. You will then see the live HD video of your little one, which is especially helpful for those rear-facing babies! When travelling at night, the camera then switches to a clear night vision mode.
The Shynerk Baby Care Mirror Camera would be best for a single child, as the camera itself doesn’t have a wide angle viewpoint, so the entire backseat cannot be seen on a single camera. The screen does not mount anywhere, and instead rests easily on the dash, so it can be removed when not in use. Due to the fact that the screen does not mount on the dashboard, it is possible it will move around slightly as the car is in motion. The camera itself, over time, falls from the original set up angle, and then you are looking at your baby’s toes, as opposed to their whole car seat! It is very easy to re-adjust the camera when needed.
The camera itself is easily adjustable as well as the straps which secure the camera to a headrest. This camera is a great, affordable option (it is often on sale on Amazon!) to give you the peace of mind you need as you travel with your little one.
