LO does let me know if she is upset, but I just worry if she is screaming and then all of the sudden stops. Luckily, we are getting used to longer car rides so I think we will be ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193193 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:50:05 +0000 shopaholic 1193193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Brica mirror that comes with a remote control for light and music. You can control it from the remote if you're driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193190 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:33:02 +0000 Penny Lane 1193190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't have a mirror either, @Sapphiresun: :)</p> <p>I twist around at stop lights to see him sometimes if he's been too quiet, which is rare ;) but otherwise I just don't see him while I'm driving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193187 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:24:15 +0000 Sapphiresun 1193187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like a negligent mom.... haha</p> <p>We don't have a mirror, so I can never see her. I'll sometimes lean back and take a peek at a stop light, but mainly just assume she'll make noise if she needs something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193173 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 23:42:11 +0000 boots 1193173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I neurotically reach around the car seat and grab her hand until she grabs it back.</p> <p>Which isn't helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193125 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 22:05:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1193125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drove at night with her often but never used a light. I'm not much of a worrier and didn't feel like I needed to always see her. </p> <p>What about a flash light? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193110 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:41:37 +0000 MamaMoose 1193110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our mirror has a light but it doesn't work great. You'll get used to not seeing her at night, she'll let you know if she needs something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193059 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:07:24 +0000 MrsF 1193059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like not being able to see her at night, but I know she'll let me know if she needs me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-at-night-with-an-infant#post-1193037 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:58:18 +0000 illumina 1193037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't see her in the day let alone night.

We have a little mirror on the seat so I can see her when I'm driving. Well, it became dark and then I realized that I couldn't see her. We drove with the door light on so I could see if she was all right and everything. Does anyone have any suggestions as what to do? Did you get a little battery operated light? I'm hoping to not have to drive at night at lot with her, but you never know and with daylight savings time happening this weekend, it will be so dark so early. </p>
