Shopping Guide for the Best Baby Mirrors

Baby mirrors are wonderful toys to have. There is really no special age category for these infant toys.

You can put a mirror into your baby's crib from the day she's born. You will soon find out that your baby is fascinated by the mirror.

Why ?

Baby likes faces, and what better face than her own! While looking in the mirror, you can point out her body parts and talk about them. Undoubtedly baby mirrors are good for infant visual stimulation.

Introducing your infant to body parts early through the use of mirror also helps her develop a self-identity as your baby will be able to see that she is separate from you. This activity is also good to build up her vocabulary.

But, which baby mirrors are the best value ?

Many of the infant toy manufacturers make baby mirrors. Before making a purchase, there are several things to check:

• Make sure that it is made of an unbreakable material and provides an accurate reflection. Not all mirror designed for baby provides an accurate reflection.
• There are basically two types of mirror: the one which can be attached to the crib/play pen; and the free standing one. The free standing one is good for tummy time. Check on this feature before you buy one, and make sure you buy the one with the feature you want.

Here is one tip to save you some money. Try to find another baby toy which has a mirror attached to it, hence you don't have to buy a separate baby mirror. Nowadays it should be pretty easy to find other infant toys which have a mirror attached to it for instance: play gym, rattles and baby mobiles.

The other possibility is to find infant mirrors which have activity toys attached on them. Some baby mirrors have activity toys at the back of the mirror where your baby can play peek-a-boo, stare at different visual stimulation graphic, squeeze and push the toys or just explore the different textures the toy has.
