Car mirror for baby - rear facing seat but no headrest?

Im looking for a mirror to see my baby in his rear facing carseat. All the ones I've seen clip onto the headrest behind the seat the carseat is on but my car doesn't have back headrests. I looked at suction ones but they all have bad reviews saying they just fall off. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good one I can fit to the roof inside or back window (I have a fiat Panda with a flat back)? Thanks

How can your car not have headrests in the back seats? Can you post a pic to show us?

Is there any rise at all in the back?
As you can get ones in material to go over the bump so to speak.

It's completely flat unfortunately. I found a picture online which is basically the same as my car - you can kind of see the flat back seat. It's a Fiat Panda active eco 2009. I bought it on the scrappage deal so maybe that's why it doesn't have them (it was missing some other things like a cigarette lighter etc as I assume they were trying to save money somehow!)

I think you'll just have to rig it up somehow. Buy one for the headrest (maybe one of the soft toy ones?) and then use any long straps - bungee cords/dressing gown cord etc to secure it to whatever points you have in the car or boot? I'd probably put it over the middle seat so that if it dropped down it's not going to fall on your baby.

It's not that unusual, lots of small cars used to have this design in the back.
