I got lucky with my rear facing car seat. I could see most of my kid's head and body (though not the entire face). I guess depending on the model, some car seats are harder for the camera to see than others.

- I LOVE the Passenger View feature but there is a huge miss with it. It's for checking on kids and the smallest kids are the ones most in need of checking on. The smallest kids are in rear-facing seats and, because of where that camera is located, you cannot see them at all, just the back of their car seats, unfortunately.
Yeah, I remember you saying that in another thread - wish I could see a pic. We've got probably the most common car seat though (Chicco KeyFit) and the only way I'd be able to maybe see a little of our daughter would be moving her seat all the way up, which would mean the driver's seat is way up to the point where I probably can't drive it. It's baffling why Kia/Honda place those cameras where they do and not where Chrysler does. It's like nobody on the engineering team is a parent OR talked to a parent with a rear-facing seat.I got lucky with my rear facing car seat.

I have the same car seat and the same problem. I would have preferred a camera that can see rear-facing, instead of forward-facing.Yeah, I remember you saying that in another thread - wish I could see a pic.

We used the Graco extend2fit and it has 3 or 4 levels of reclining. Level 2 was sufficient for my toddler to be comfy and be seen by the camera. Any more reclining would have caused the front passenger to lose leg room.Yeah, I remember you saying that in another thread - wish I could see a pic.

Our new 2023 SXP allows us to drive with the rear camera and 360 camera on full time. It's not on the mirror, but serves the same function. Are you able to do that?
- The rearview mirror should be a digital one, where it uses the rear camera in a continuous feed so you can always see fully behind you, no matter what people/cargo are in the backseats of your car. That's a feature on a lot of luxury cars now and would be great at the 50k level like SXP's are.
That would be kind of similar, how do you do that?Our new 2023 SXP allows us to drive with the rear camera and 360 camera on full time. It's not on the mirror, but serves the same function. Are you able to do that?
shouldn't be the reason, but in Korea, car seat became required under 6 years old by law in 2018 (really...2018). and yet it is still generally okay not to use it because they don't really enforce it.Yeah, I remember you saying that in another thread - wish I could see a pic.
