Abstract: A two-piece system for use with a child carrier or backpack. One piece is a hand-held mirror unit 10 having at least one reflective, or mirrored surface and at least two pieces of hook and loop material, one piece being placed above the mirror, and the other below. The second piece is an attachment strap assembly 12. The mirror unit 10 has smooth, rounded edges for comfort, and also has a notched or indented area on the edge for ergonomic efficiency in removing the mirror unit 10 from the attachment strap 12. The outer-facing side of the mirror housing 32 may be coated with a reflective paint to provide for safety in low-light conditions where vehicular traffic may be present. The attachment strap 12 has an outward-facing side made entirely of loop fastener 14. It has two strap ends 16, 18 which wrap around the backpack shoulder strap to provide for a custom fit on any backpack regardless of the dimensions of the shoulder strap.
