Keeping an eye on your baby will be extra important in those early months. Consider a car mirror that easily attaches to a rear seat to let you see your baby every time you look in your rearview mirror. Your baby will be able to see you as well, which can keep that all-important connection going when you’re on the road. Most of these mirrors are both simple to install and easily adjustable.
