An FYI for fellow-Pilot owners carting around car seat-bound youngsters.

While I love the spacious interior of the Pilot, it was causing me to feel a little like the beautiful Ms. Allison Rose riding back yonder in a car seat was in another zip code. I did a little internet research on car rear mirror attachments/solutions and found a variety of them out there, some quite expensive.

I am happy to report that a solution found at the local Target for a mere $3.99 (made by The First Years) has more than fit the bill. It attaches (in a matter of seconds - no tools needed) either below or above the rear view mirror, and in the case of the Pilot it fits nicely above the mirror in a space that is not really needed anyway. No more craning the neck to catch what is going on in the back seat. :17:

I just got my last weekend( same brand) from BabyRUs, its works great. I set it up under the rear view mirror.

Doesn't this additional mirror confuse the 'real' rear view of the road when it is so close to the rear view mirror ? Maybe its just a matter of getting used to it.

It just a mattter of getting used to it. It looks distracting more then confusing. Just like anything else you leave it there long enough, it will look normal.

Good tip, picked one up at Target today. I opted for the over the top mount. Just a matter a preference...kinda like the direction of the toilet paper roll :20:

Don't know 'bout su casa's, but where I live she gets to choose the direction of the paper.....

I have used my mirror (First Years, same as others) for four wonderful years now. Many a friend have seen and purchased for themselves.

In answer to the confusion, its not confusing, just more information. I have been hanging it below, now I will have to try it above, just cuz.

Happy Piloting!
