 Took a beating |

| We bought this system for our daughters over two years ago, and it only just failed after receiving a ninja kick from my 2 1/2 year-ancient. Is it as excellent as a built in system? Probably not. But it wasn't my daughter's first kick that knocked out the system, it was her hundredth, so we'll be replacing it with another Philips player set. Only complaint, which was stated in other reviews is that the battery covers the car mount point on the back of the player, so you can't charge the battery while it's being watched while mounted in the car. Despite the product advise of "please remove player and mount when not in use", it spent 90% of it's life hooked up in the car, so the battery issue wasn't a frequent problem, but it was an inconvenient one, since it was usually so long between times where I dismounted it, the battery was usually dead anyway. Only other feature I'd like to see is just the seemingly simple ability to hook up an ipod video cable to this system. It would be reeeeeaaaaallly nice to be able to keep the iPod up front, where I can control it, while having its video showed in back for the kids. DVDs are slowly going the way of the dodo bird, so forward compatibility would be nice. Although, given my daughter's penchant for punishing the poor thing, it probably wouldn't outlive the DVD obsolescence anyway. |
This same DVD is our second one

| We just took this DVD system on a 2000-mile road trip with our 1-year-ancient. It worked fantastic! My only complaint is, as others have mentioned, that the battery can not be attached while the system is mounted. |
Excellent Portable Option

I went and bought this on a whim after my 10.2 inch DVD died after 2 months. This has two screens that mount to the headrest in a very secure manner, which eliminates the 'swing' problem of the one DVD screen strapped between the seats. The mount is very secure and is at a excellent height for my children to view it in the backseat of our minivan. I like the controls and the ease of use. The picture is brilliant quality.
The con is that the battery cannot be used when the player is mounted on the headrest because it covers the connections, so it must be plugged into the cigarette lighter for car viewing. Not a huge deal for us, but something to keep in mind.
This player seems better quality than my previous player. I would recommend the extended warranties for these - they get banged around a lot and are fragile. |
Decent Player

| A small hesistant to buy since target doesn't have a samply one hooked up to see quality. Bought one and charged it and it didn't read any new DVDs. Well, took it back thinking would get a different brand. But none of the other players, for the price, seem to match up. Its nice that the dvd player has a battery pack so we could take it on the plane. But also since it comes with the extra screen my daughter gets her own to watch as well. Plus I like the brackets to attach to my headrest simple and sturdy so far. Only drawback so far is you cant charge the battery if you have the monitor attached to the headrest. The removeable battery covers the mount hookup. |
