Verivue Universal Panoramic 12-Inch Rear View Mirror, Anti-Glare Wide Angle Car Mirror, Rearview Mirrors Accessory for Baby Rear-Facing, Clear Panoramic Convex Mirrors for Cars and SUVs

Despite the confusing name of the other version ("curve"), the panoramic version is curved. That will already make sense if you know the nature of panoramic mirrors, I mention this only to help those trying to understand. The surface of the panoramic version has a curve along one axis; top-to-bottom it is flat, but it's curved end-to-end. This means everything looks the same height as it would in a flat mirror but you have an expanded field of view side-to-side and everything looks a bit narrower than it would in a flat mirror. That narrowing effect means everything behind you is a bit closer than it looks, much like you see in convex mirrors (like the passenger side mirror on your car). Took me a bit to get used to that. FWIW, I've not inspected the "curve" version but it looks to me like the surface shape is the same as the panoramic and the "curve" name is just because the bottom of the mirror is an arc shape rather than straight...maybe.Back to that expanded (wider) field of view, you need to think about whether that will be helpful. If I adjust mine so it's perfectly centered on the rear window of my small SUV, nearly everything the expanded view shows to the driver's side is my head and the pillars between the windows, almost entirely blocking any additional view of the outside. Not helpful! But if I adjust the angle toward the passenger side so my rear window fills the left half of the mirror, the viewing angle means I can actually see out the passenger side windows. This can be a bit distracting and I had to get used to it, but it almost completely eliminated my passenger side blind spot and can make it easier to back out of parking spaces.The wider view is not just due to the curve, it's also due to the size. The stock mirror in my car is just over 8" long but this thing is almost 12". It's also 3" tall. The latter means you get much of the expanded view into your rear seats, etc, promised by the "curve" version. But that size comes with some issues.1 - It will block part of your forward view. Depending on the placement of your stock mirror, this might mean you'll just see less of your head liner, but it's likely to also block a bit more of your forward view through the windshield.2 - Because it's long, it may also get in the way of using your visors because they can bump into the ends of the mirror. In my car, if this mirror is perfectly centered on the stock mirror neither of my visors is usable. I had to slide it to the right until the driver's side visor will just slip past it. Doesn't bother me, and I get even more visibility through side windows on the passenger side, but any front seat passenger will be out of luck if they want to put their visor down. Tip: If you decide to adjust like this, get into the habit of warning your front seat passengers when they get in the car because if they try to lower their visor they'll probably bump the mirror out of whack while you're driving.The thing is very easy to install and, like they promise, stays where it's put and doesn't jiggle or move around while you're driving (any more than your stock mirror that it's mounted to). The only down side is it can slide along the mounting brackets while you're trying to adjust the angle. I had to figure out how to hold onto both the stock mirror and the new one at the same time while adjusting it. This is a good idea anyway because it's a bit flimsy. This is not an issue AT ALL once it's in place and in use, but I needed to use a lot of force to adjust the angles because my stock mirror's mount is tight and when I was trying to do this while handling only the new mirror frame I could see the glass flexing a bit. Again, not an issue once it's adjusted, but I can see how some end up breaking them.

Great purchase, easy to apply, & easy to use! I am a short person and can’t keep my original car rearview mirror in a position to be able to see my surroundings and my toddler in the back but this was the cheapest and best solution! It works just perfectly I can see behind my vehicle, my toddler and blind spots on the side of my vehicle! Fit my mirror just perfectly and is super easy to adjust!

I bought this rearview mirror years ago for my Chrysler 300. When I traded it in I knew I needed another one for the SUV I got! I can see all the blind spots and all the kids in the back. Installation is super easy. It takes more time to get it out if the packaging than it take to install it. It has fit perfectly in both vehicles. It was a great buy!

I love my mirror! It was easy to put on and I feel like it’s helping with my blind spots. I’m a new driver and it was the first thing I ordered.

Adds a lot of visibility but things look a little smaller in the mirror. I can see a lot more of the inside of my car which isn't a bad thing but something to note.

This mirror is an absolute game changer for me! It opened my eyes to a whole new world behind me. It was very easy to install as well.

I have ordered this mirror for my 2 cars and ordered 2 more for my family. I love it. So much better than the factory mirror. The factory is so small hard to see out of but this you can see everything inside/outside the car.

So easy to install and what a difference good bye blind spots. All vehicles should have this.
