@Steve - good find on the Peek-N-Back. http://www.carrymeaway.com/item_465/Peek-n-Back-mirror.htm
Looking at it closely, the mfg'ing cost, including packaging etc is less than $0.45 each, so maybe a new design, new marketing and a coming in at a lower price point is what is needed here?
I think this could work as well, but I would recommend putting to one of the sides of the baby carrier and then tilt in on a slight angle. This way you can always see the baby and not have to worry about loosing the mirror or dropping it.
Looks like it would end up being more of a hassle sticking out in public, also it would need to be sufficiently large to be visible given the rocking back and forth inherent in walking with a child strapped to your chest. By the time you stopped and adjusted the device you could just be checking up on your kid.
Could work - but I really doubt it has the wide appeal that would be necessary for a successful product. It's simply not a "must have" issue - and it's one more thing that can fall off or smack the baby in the head if you take a corner too tightly...
I used to have something like this that attached to my rear view mirror, for looking at my kids as they sat in their car seats. It was a real pain in the wazoo and fell off frequently.
Would it be feasible to build something that has a multi-use spring-loaded clamp on an arm, so it would be usable in many situations? That way you can use it on a carrier, a car seat, a crib, or any place where you don't have a direct line of sight to your child's face.
Baby mirror is a good idea;
The Bjorn harness is general I believe is a terrible product, since it puts a major strain on your lower back, regardless how light the baby may be. I do not want to market or deal with any product that will mess with peoples lower backs. Just ask anyone who's been through it before.

I believe the Peek-N-Back is for carriers where the child is behind you like this one...

This product would be for babies carried on your chest facing forward.

I think baby harnesses are not the way for the future. They are harmful for the mother's back and do not give the baby enough support.
I would actually rather see baby carriers that can be easily be carried by the parents and can turn into a car seat and also a normal baby chair!
Already been done pretty well - Peek-N-Back Mirror about $12.00
