    In the final stretch now and trying to get all the final bits and pieces sorted before baby arrives.

    This item is really not that important but it is actually annoying me that I am getting absolutely nowhere in sourcing one.

    Basically, I am looking for a mirror for the car so that when I am driving I can see baby in the rearward facing baby seat. BUT I don't have head rests in the back seats.

    I have a small mirror that attaches to the front window so I can see back but nothing the be able to see into the rearward facing baby seat. A few months ago I was at the Pregnancy & Baby show in the RDS and saw one that was held in place by a bean bag and draped over the seat. Great, I thought, I can get that closer to the time. Now I can't remember what shop was selling it and can't source one anywhere. Every mirror I see is attached to the head rest in the back seat.

    Now this is not an important item, I am sure I can jury rig something but it has been annoying that all my searches have turned up almost nothing - I did find something on Amazon but it was for £105 GBP Absolutely crazy price. And I am looking for something that will not break the bank.

    As I said, it is so unimportant as to not be worth posting about but I really want to nail this one as it is annoying.

    I know they don't ship to .ie but sometimes if you find one then once you have a brand it is easier to find it locally.

    I got one in tesco just this morning for €4.11.

    Made by lindam

    I have it stuck on my back window can see baby in my rear view mirror

    Granted it's not huge.. but enough to spot trouble and more reliable than a 2 yr old saying baby noahs eyes are closed 🙈

    Thanks for all the answers but I have just decided to try and jury rig something together. Not a great option but probably a lot less trouble than to keep looking for a perfect mirror.
