Abstract
The invention provides a reflector device and a reflector system for mounting to a vehicle having front and rear seats to allow a person in the front seat to view an infant in a rearwardly facing safety seat attached to the rear seat. The reflector system includes a pair of reflector devices of which one may be in accordance with the invention. The reflector device in accordance with the invention is mountable upright on a back of the rear seat and includes a mounting assembly and a reflector with a forwardly-facing reflecting surface pivotally connected to the mounting assembly so as to be pivotable in three-dimensions. The reflector device is preferably mounted to one side of the infant and has an upward extent below the rear window of the vehicle so as not to obstruct a driver's view through the rear window and to not present a hazard to the infant.
