We are looking to buy one for our car and are not sure what is the best kind to get for a reasonable price. We don't want one that is too cheap and that will break in the first year, but we also don't want to sell the family jewels :)
Answer
we have had 2 different types neither have lasted like they should. First we had one that was 2 screens and dvdplayer was on floor and was seperate that one was broke in a little over a year (movies would stop playing cause it claimed it was opened when closed) right now we have the disney set it is just about to be trash also it has lasted less than a year the screen the dvd player goes in can no longer hang on the seat or it says it is open and movie will not play so it has to sit on ground and we have the other screen plugged in both cost around 200$ they are more work if you want it to last forever i woudl suggest you always remove it from your car in hot or cold weather because i thinks thats why they break....honestly i think they are all junk but the ones that are installed in the head rest.....good luck

are these worth it? what are some good brands?
Answer
I have an older model van and didn't want to put the expense into installing a DVD player in it permanently. We looked into portable DVD players but they seemed unstable and would mount lower than we wanted (most of them mounted in-between the front head rests so that people in the back seat would have a hard time seeing the screen) When we were getting ready to drive to Utah with small children we realized we needed something to keep them entertained. Then we found a dual screen portable DVD player and we love it. It is an RCA 7" 16:9 Portable DVD Player with Dual TFT-LCD Monitors. The two screens can be mounted separately and attach to headrests. (We put one on the front seat headrest and the second on the middle seat headrest) The screen is also the DVD player so there are only the two parts with a cable running between them. The nice thing about the one that we bought is that you can take it with you into a hotel room and it will play the DVD on a regular TV and it also comes with video games that can be played either while the second screen is watching a movie or displayed on a TV. (the video games aren't high graphics but are geared towards younger kids, although we had fun playing them too. Some of them are 80's knock-offs like frogger and centipede) The $200 was well worth the hours of quiet (non-fighting) travel time. Good luck!
