Some of the other threads about the mirrors in front of a rear facing carseat have me totally freaked out, and I'm returning the big Brica one that I registered for. But, I anticipate that I WILL want to see what's going on back there some times. Is there a safer alternative? Our car does not have the LATCH system so I can't anchor it to that.

I'm a nervous driver as it is, so I can only imagine that driving with my baby crying in the backseat and not being able to see him/her will only make me more nervous.
