IMHO, the kid is cute and in a nice position. The reflection in the windshield is prominent, but doesn't tell a story, so becomes a distraction rather than an enhancement. If it told a story, you'd have a nice multi-layer image.

Yeah, I agree with that as a criticism of the shot as narrative. I liked the shot as a composition and I liked the colors of the reflections. So it could be better, no doubt. It's hard to make the reflections works as narrative, but they are something you see all the time...
The way it is it doesn't work for me, but how about this?
Thank you. That is an improvement. After all the Cartier-Bresson thought over the weekend, cropping was pretty far from my mind. But I'm certainly not HCB, and so I have to keep it in mind.

I think this helps, somehow, removing the mirror and the couple walking on the right side of the frame makes the little boy more the focus of the shot. The right side of the frame seemed to be distracting to me, now the child looks more contemplative, like maybe he's thinking of taking that firetruck for a drive... Just my 2 cents.

Oops, hope that is a firetruck, if not, just truck!
Can't decide whether this is one of my best or one of my worst. Does it work for you?
I like the kid, the fire truck and the obvious wonderment in the child's
eyes. I think the reflection of the tree spoils what otherwise would be
a nice picture. I wonder if you diffused the tree's reflection and maybe
darkened the remainder of the window?
Cropping this would be difficult. Because the FT is very much a part of the
"story".
