I like being able to take it out and use it anywhere. can't really do that with the headrest. I'll admit that the mounting bracket ain't pretty, but neither are broken windows and missing headrests.

We picked up one at target during christmas for under $70. It attatches to a holded you put on the headrest poles. You can quickly detactch the unit by itself or the whole thing. Comes with a rechargable battery; fm broadcast to play through radio, two small built-in speakers, remote.
Works real nice. I like being able to use it in any of our cars and have the option of taking it on trips to watch movies anywhere. I'll see if I can find out what brand it is.

The portable DVD player allowed us to remove it or store it when not in the vehicle. My son also enjoyed taking it with him on school band trips while in high school. With an extra battery available, they had movies the entire trip.
I agree that entertained children are quiet children but you have to have the headsets. I hate hearing the action while driving and not being able to see it. How did we survive when all we could do was play "I Spy" or "license plate bingo" while on long trips?

She can watch the TV but is preferring the solace of books at her advanced age of seven!
We are supportive in this, though it may cut down on our word games while drivning .

Harpo, try Brainquest. They are a block of long thin plastic-coated cards attached together with questions on all different subjects. You can usually find them at Sam's Club and they are availabe for different age groups. Using those on long trips was when I finally learned my boys are much smarter than I am. Or, should I say, they retained a lot more useless information than I did!
