We see our own baby in retro, small, yes, but we see Baby (if sleeps, plays, other ...). HOWEVER for its effectiveness is another story ... If you close the trunk (what is done each time to take / return the stroller !!!) retro moves and needs fixing (2 people), if we take a close / roundabout turn the backlight also moves (and therefore sees more Baby !!!! the rest of the way), we must again put the, etc ... Really do not hold, I would not recommend !!!! We bought another, Prince Lionheart - Baby View Mirror, which is great! clings to the headrest, so do not move, is great, perfectly seen Baby!
