Babies love mirrors!
Babies love mirrors because they are fascinated by faces. Looking in the mirror is considered a form of play for them. They want to know who is the "baby" staring back at them. Don't worry, your baby will soon figure out that the reflection they see is their own. But until then, make this mirror a part of their play time whether in the crib or on the floor during tummy time.
Product info: Mirror on one side. Other side features 6 developmentally appropriate high contrast, black, white and red graphics in graduated complexity. Research shows that newborns and infants respond to black and white; the first color they recognize is red.

More About Our Baby Mirror
We designed this baby safe mirror after hospitals and health care organizations repeatedly approached us on how to create a baby mirror that could be used in the NICU. After much research and development, we created this large, shatterproof baby mirror. Using hospital grade rubber edges and a shatterproof material for the mirror itself, this product has stood up to testing and remains our most popular baby mirror. Not only does this mirror for baby surpass safety testing standards, it also is an educational and fun toy for baby. Did you know babies love mirrors? They're fascinated by faces and reflections, even though they don't always know the face staring back at them is their own! Upon birth, babies have blurry vision. They can see the outline of faces and will start to recognize the shapes they see in faces. Flip this crib mirror around and the other side has high contrast graphics in black, white and red, the first three colors that your baby will see best. We also created this baby mirror with busy and sleep-deprived parents in mind. That's why we made this mirror for baby super easy to attach to the crib: just use the four adjustable velcro straps included. It'll take one minute then you can move on to spending time with your Genius Baby.

Got this for my baby’s playpen. It works just as expected. Perfect addition. She loves playing in the mirror. Good size and quality. Will probably put it in a wood frame to redecorate it as she grows older.

I used this for my daughter in 2018 and three years later I took it out to use for my second daughter and the glue had all dried up so the rubber part came off. But it’s not actually sharp so I think I can still use it. This was stored inside in an air-conditioned house with no abuse at all. -1 star.Other than it perhaps not being the sturdiest item, it was great for inside the crib. It fascinated the baby and she would often look at herself and play with her reflection. I think a little crib mirror is an excellent addition to pretty much any nursery. And yes there is a slight distortion but it’s not horrible. Good developmental toy.

Unlike most "baby safe" mirrors this one does not distort your baby's image. It is as clear as a regular mirror. It is a crib mirror and comes with velcro attachments but we leave it out propped in his play area and he wallers it and its held up! It's bigger than expected too which I love! My son can see his face and mine both when next to each other in it

Fantastic! Unlike so many "baby" mirrors, this one is very clear and has no distortion. It's as nice as my bathroom mirror. It's plenty big for our baby to see herself in it, and she loves it. She stares into it, makes faces at herself, reaches out to touch it, and so on. It was an instant hit!The velcro attachments worked fine on our crib. The mirror is also very lightweight, so I think it could easily and safely be attached with strong double-sided mounting tape if the orientation of the straps doesn't match your crib. (Like 3M VHB if you want overkill!)

I bought two of these double sided mirrors. The mirrors arrived quickly and were as advertised, large and durable. I put both up in my baby's crib, the mirror side at one end, the patterned side facing at the other end. Here's the problem: the Velcro fasteners. They are not designed to attach the mirrors to crib railings. I had to twist them backwards in order to secure the Velcro sides together. This worked, but it was annoying. I hope that they stay put and don't crack or break over time. Otherwise, the mirrors are great. My baby loves to look at herself or the graphic black, red and white pattern first thing in the morning.

I was hesitant to buy this for my daughter to use at home because of the size. It just sounds so huge compared to all the other cute baby mirrors. And it is - in comparison. But now that we've had it for a while and my daughter has played with it, I have no issue with the size. It's big enough for her to crawl up to and see her whole body or, her favorite, look at me sitting behind her. It's very sturdy. I've found my now 9 month old sitting and standing on it frequently - no cracks yet. It does have some cute designs on the back, but my daughter doesn't really care about them.Update 2 years later: Still love it. Or I did. After much abuse from a grown toddler, a corner finally broke off. And when I say much abuse, I really mean it. That thing went through a lot of use and misuse. The white edging was the first to come off. I ended up taping it in place. Eventually, dropkicks and tantrum throws brought it to an end. Now that I have another little one, I am definitely buying another. Absolutely recommend this mirror.
