Portable DVD players on headrests?

[lmariana]

I want to get a portable DVD player for the car that attaches to the back of a headrest, but doesn't require installation. You know, the kind you can just strap on for a long road trip or something? We're driving 6 hours to Disney World in a couple weeks and I think Gabe will do so much better if he has something to watch. :)

Any recommendations? I don't need a compact one or anything, it can be huge. We have my little laptop that we can use on planes and such for DVD viewing, but we can't strap that onto a headrest. :)

Thanks!

I just wanted to say that for us, it was a lifesaver when we took a 13 hr trip with DS in the car!

No recommedations on brand. We bought a Kawasaki on sale at Target, but we had to rig it up to go on the headrest with a belt. It was a better deal than the ones we saw with the case to strap it on with and had some other features we wanted. If you do your research, you'll find that almost every one out there has caused major problems for someone, unless you get into the really expensive ones. We just bought it an hope it will work at least a year. We even considered purchasing an extended warranty on one (which we NEVER do), but didn't end up doing that either. We bought cheap and figured that by the time it breaks, we'll be ready to upgrade (fingers crossed). Good luck!

I don't have a recommendation for a portable DVD player (mine is 4 yrs old!), but for our 16 hour drive down to FL, we ended up buying a carrying case from Best Buy that you can rig up behind the headrest or between the seats. We also bought an adapter so we could plug in the DVD player w/o using the battery.
