Tiny Love Frog Kick Mirror

I read such wonderful reviews of this mirror, that I couldn't wait to get it. My baby is only 2 1/2 months old right now, and I find this mirror an irritation. It takes 2 people to get the mirror placed so that the driver can see baby's face (one person in the back seat and the other in the driver seat). The smiley face on the frog takes up valuable space. When trying to get baby's face positioned in mirror, the smiley face frequently cuts straight through baby's face, making her facial expression impossible to see. Hubby and I worked for 20 minutes to adjust this mirror so that Baby's face was visible from the driver's seat. Once the baby's face is visible and the frog's smiley face is around the area of baby's neck, the picture is warped so badly that I feel like I'm watching the movie Alien. I CAN see if baby's head is in the proper position and see if baby is smiling or frowning, making this semi-functional when mirror is placed right. The biggest problem is that when someone sits in the back seat next to baby, they may touch the hand or foot of the frog as they are buckling themselves in. If they do, then it moves the mirror and the quest to get the mirror placed correctly starts all over again. I give this 2 stars because I expect as baby grows, her legs will be long enough to reach frog's belly, and she may find the toy interesting to play with. At that point, I seriously hope I don't need to see her in the mirror anymore.

If you, like i, think there are enough flashing lights and beeping noises in the world already, and thus avoid battery-operated baby toys, this is a wonderful find. No batteries at all. Baby kicks the frog feet, and the little plastic fishies and turtles in the frog's belly slosh around. Simple cause-and-effect. Car rides lately have a lot less screaming and a lot more giggling.

I'm depriving this toy of a star because, as several other reviewer note, the mirror isn't so great. It's not easy to adjust. By dumb luck, ours it positioned so the front seat passenger can look over their shoulder and see the baby. The driver can sit up very straight and lean forward and kinda see the baby's face in a corner of the rear-view mirror, but at that point they wouldn't be able to see the road.

That said, if what you really want is a baby car mirror, just buy a baby car mirror. The Frog Kick Mirror is also a toy, and no matter how well you've adjusted the mirror, the whole point is for the baby to kick it. The mirror won't stay perfectly oriented for long.

Also, your baby has to be big enough to be able to kick the toy for it to be terribly interesting, so it's not really worth purchasing this until your kid's feet are within an inch or so of the seatback.

My son cried everytime we got in the car for over 6 months. This was the first thing to get his attention after tons of methods were tried to stop the misery.

Babies too small to hit the bottom "feet" to make the fish move will still like how things jiggle to the car's movements and looking in the mirror.

I bought this hoping I could get the best of both worlds: a great toy for my son to look at and a mirror that would let me see him when I am driving. Well, the first part was right, it's a cute frog. Problem is the mirror is flimsy and really not of good quality. It's distorted and really cheaply made. Buy the Eddie Bauer mirror, it's a better buy.

I bought this for my son to have something to look at for a long car trip. The item pictured on the website and on the box itself is NOT the one that is actually *inside* the box. It looks similar, but the quality is much worse and cheap-looking. The mirror that makes up the "face" of the frog is a total piece of crap I couldn't even see my own face within 10 inches of it, much less my son's on the other side of car. It's a great idea, I just really wish it was the actual item pictured, and not the bad quality of the actual item.
