We got our carseats fitted into our cars. We were reminded NOT to have anything dangling from the infant seat handles. Number one, you are NOT supposed to have the handles in the carry position when using it in a car, that is written all over the instructions. Number 2, they told us to NEVER have toys attached to any part of the car seat, as it would become an object that would strike your child, not even in an accident, what if you had to brake hard? This happened to a friend of mine, and she pulled over to a parking lot and took the toys off her baby’s car seat and put the handle in the right position. The instructions are there for a reason!

I purchased this for my 3 yr. old granddaughter based on reviews. When it arrived, I thought it lacking, but I supposed it can be tried on my infant granddaughter when she is in a front-facing car seat. Hard to imagine babies can be charmed by such simple graphics which don’t move, but we’ll see. Certainly not anything I could see benefiting or entertaining any child over 21 mos. old.

My son likes to look at the pictures, but only for a few seconds. he still hates the car! The product does seem durable and nice and colorful, but he really hates the car. Giving him a small yot ro chew on seems to help a bit more.

I tried this product for a very fussy 3 month old. He could care less about it though. I wish it would have worked. He still cries bloody murder in his car seat!

Given my baby’s love for a number of Manhattan products we own, I added this one to the list of must-have’s.
Pros:
~Durable plastic holder can easily handle your own photos when baby is older
~Large images ideal for developing eyes
Cons:
~The velcro rounds on the back of the holder prone to falling off depending on how you hang it in the car
~Not as useful for rear-facing seats as bottom two images obscuring by base (using a Britax seat)
Overall a decent ‘toy’ for the car at about $10. Baby enjoys it the most when we pass from light to shaded areas thereby ‘flashing’ light on the images.
