Baby Car Mirror With No Headrest or in the Middle Seat: What Works
A headrest mirror needs a headrest to hold on to. If your baby sits in the middle seat, or the seat has no headrest at all, here's what works, what to try, and what honestly won't.

Tiny Boss, Big Standards
Approved by our Baby CEO
Every mirror has to pass our toughest reviewer. If the boss can spot his snacks from the back seat, it ships. He's very particular.
A note from the CEO's design team:
Please excuse the crooked buttons and slightly-off-center everything. The boss still can't center a button, and honestly, neither can his parents. He's 1½. We're all doing our best. 🍼
How It Works
One Glance. That's All It Takes.
Your rear-view mirror reflects the Leo&Ella mirror, which reflects your baby's face. No turning around. No taking your eyes off the road.

GET THIS NOW!
This mirror is INCREDIBLE!!! We drive a Suburban and the headrests don't move up or down and the seats are high so this mirror works perfectly because it clamps securely to the headrest and then you can position the mirror really easily! The reflection is super clear so I get an excellent view of my baby girl. This product is fantastic and honestly much better than a camera since I had wires running all through the car. Strongly recommend!!

Absolutely love this mirror
Absolutely love this mirror. I purchased one for both our cars. You can quickly check on baby in the rear seat through your rearview mirror. Baby can spot you too which is great when they get cranky. Pretty simple to set up and the angle adjustment lets you position the mirror perfectly.

Quality product and service
Had this for over a year now. Worked flawlessly until the strap started loosening. Got in touch with the company and they sent me a replacement. Excellent customer support, just allow them a day or two to get back to you.

Excellent fit for Tesla headrests
Tough to find a mirror that works with Tesla's headrests. This one fits great in both the Model 3 and Y. Stays secure and stable, no shaking while driving.

Ideal fit for Tesla Model 3
Got this on sale and couldn't be more pleased. We have a Model 3 and the fit is perfect. It's a bit expensive at full price, but for fixed headrests it's definitely the way to go.
