Ours is a 2013 CX-5 Sport (base model), so all the hookups for a camera are there. Just no wiring. I bought a kit on Amazon and my mechanic and I are installing it today. 

My son is walking now, and I don’t want to take a chance on him escaping to the driveway and one of us not seeing him.

...my mechanic and I are installing it today.

I don’t understand how this works. My mechanic would forcefully eject me from his garage if I tried to help him.

kids are dumb. we’re constantly telling our kids not to walk behind cars, to look both ways , stay out of the street, all that safety stuff, in one ear out the other, but they can tell you all the lyrics to its raining tacos (or whatever the song is)

I really wanna get the kit to add one to my GTI since I have the touch screen radio that supports it, but VW hid the camera behind the rear VW badge and that part alone is not cheap. Plus running the wiring through the car and finding someone with VAGCOM to enable the backup camera in the cars brain.

I’m handing him stuff and holding the tailgate down. That’s about it.

My mechanic has a price list that goes up depending on conditions. Actual sign posted here.

And I believe it enough to be gone when he starts touching my velocipede.

This is so cool that it didn’t require any programming. We literally plugged it and put the car in reverse and voila. I got lucky that Mazda didn’t require anything extra.
