Abstract: A two-mode mirror and entertainment device for use in vehicles, particularly for observing infants and children, and for the entertainment of infants and children. In a first mounting arrangement, a rear seating area attachment subsystem is employed to attach a mirror assembly including child entertainment devices generally near the rear seat back top surface for observing a child in a rear-facing child safety seat. When the child has grown older and is seated in a forward-facing manner, the mirror assembly including its child entertainment devices is moved so as to become a lap toy for a forward-facing seated child, typically, but not necessarily, s child in a forward-facing child seat. Two modes are provided for the child entertainment devices, selected by a mode switch. In “Mode 1” the child entertainment devices are actuated by a remote control unit. In “Mode 2” the child manually activates the entertainment devices.
