In car portable DVD player for a little one

Em135eye · 08-11-2010, 11:06 AM

Any suggestions?

Got a few long drives coming up and think we ought to get our little one (almost 2) a DVD player for the car.

Needs to be portable and able to fit onto the front of a headrest (his car seat is rear facing) of the rear seat.

Prices seem to vary a lot and I have less than no idea.

I purchased one the other day for 40 pounds. Fits perfectly on the centre armrest. Used it at the weekend and it's great. I'll try and find the website for you.

Cheers Oli - £40 is a bargain!

Found it, it was £29.99 plus delivery, £10, but has now gone back up to its normal price of £79.99. However I still have the offer email, if you want me to forward that, you never know. It is a very capable unit, fits on the centre armrest perfectly, with a strap around it, and all is perfect.

Kid - "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet...?"

Parent - "SHUT UP!"

Two minutes of silence...

Kid - "I'm hungry. Mummy, I'm hungry."

Parent - "GRRRRR!"

Sent - Ive just actually phoned them, and they have said they have sold out, but have some cheaper ones coming in next week, but not £29.99 cheap! - Around the £49 mark!

Good luck

i found out buying an Ipad is the best all around investment, doesn't even have to be the 3G version. It's durable, the videos are great, the battery life is amazing!

PLUS, you can use it for such mo more! Worth the extra money

Cheers Oli!

We don't let him watch much TV at home but the car is a bit different - he's very well behaved in it but 3+hrs is pushing it a bit.

Tony - LOL!

3+ hours? We used to drive to London quite often when i was a kid. That was 6 -8 hour journey back in the day. I don't remember much more than stopping for a pee as entertainment.....(man i sound old!)
