The media could not be loaded. I shutter to imagine how many times a parent deals with distracted driving because the kids in the backseat are acting up. Common sense would dictate that this little device could be a life saver (in addition to a stress reducer).

The following story is a dramatization, however, similar situations probably come up several times a day for frazzled parents across the country...

The relentless rain pounded on Emily's windshield, obscuring her vision on the already dark night. The dim street lights barely pierced the gloom, and every drop of rain seemed to echo her rising anxiety. The soft hum of the car's heater and the lullaby from the radio were in stark contrast to the storm outside.

In the backseat, three-year-old Jake began to fuss. "Mine!" he proclaimed, louder with each assertion.

Emily glanced briefly in the rearview mirror, catching only a glimpse of Mia's flailing arms, indicating a struggle between the siblings. Jake had likely taken Mia's favorite toy, something he often did to tease his little sister.

"Jake, give it back to Mia," Emily called out, trying to keep the peace and focus on the treacherous road ahead. But the quick glance and the darkness meant she couldn't see the full story. Was Mia hurt? Did Jake actually have the toy, or was it lost somewhere in the backseat? The uncertainty weighed on Emily's mind.

Suddenly, a tree branch, torn free by the wind, appeared in her path. With her attention partially diverted, her reaction time was dangerously slow. Heart pounding, she swerved, narrowly avoiding the branch and a potential disaster.

Pulling over, she turned on the interior light and checked on her kids. Jake held Mia's plush toy sheepishly, and Mia's big tearful eyes looked up at her, more upset about her toy being taken than any potential accident. Emily sighed, realizing just how close they'd come to disaster because she couldn't clearly see what was going on in the back.

The next day, Emily shared the story with a friend who recommended a car baby monitor with night vision. "You can see everything, even in total darkness," her friend had said.

Emily thought about the previous night, about how different it might have been if she'd had that clarity, that peace of mind. She made a mental note to get the camera as soon as possible. Because safety wasn't just about the road ahead, but also about knowing the story behind you.

This is an inexpensive, easy to install, life saver. Every parent who drives small children/babies around, should own one.

This is a super easy to use camera with great clarity. It took me two minutes to put the camera and monitor together and get it installed in my car. The hardest part was figuring out where I wanted the wire run along in the car. It was as easy as strapping the camera to the headrest, running the wire to the front seat, and plugging it into the car and monitor. The monitor is a great size so it's easy to see while driving without being a distraction. The camera is a cute cat and is not a big distraction for my toddler. All around great product and is easy to set up, no tools or skills required!!

If you are hesitant to purchase, just do it! It was very easy and quick to install.
It came with a both cigarette lighter adapter and a USB plug to choose how I want to power it. The picture is very clear both during the day time and night.
I love that I was able to flip the camera for a true accurate image and you can even adjust the brightness and contrast.
The screen is what sold me, the size is perfect. The camera lens is a cute animal face and the lights are small and red, so my baby wasn't bothered by them. Already recommended to a friend!

I had a rear view mirror for my car seat that I just found to be too difficult to see at night so I went with this camera and monitor and I have to say I wish I had purchased this from the start. It took all of 15 minutes to install, and that was with hiding all of the cables so that everything looks clean and professional. The monitor during the day shows great color and it is definitely high quality. There are options on the monitor to zoom and adjust the way it displays. The switch from day mode to night vision is instantaneous when it is required, and both modes provide a great view of the entire car seat and baby. I am very pleased with this and will be purchasing a second one for my wife's car. Also, the added USB power cable was much appreciated considering my truck doesn't have a cigarette lighter port!

I recommend this product to anyone with little ones. The image on this camera is great and I can see both kids with the one camera. It's very easy to set up and has a 7 inch screen. It's has a nice look to it and is a very well made camera with a suction cup to secure it to the window. I wasn't sure how well the night vision would be, but let me tell you, I can see great. I'm so glad I made this purchase. It would make a great gift for first time parents. Also, make sure to read the booklet that's with it, they will give you 1 free accessory.
