Car DVD players

[TripletDaddy]

My wife wants a DVD player in her car.

Any suggestions on make/model? What do these things cost? Also, do they have them with wireless headphones for the kids? Can you listen to the radio or CD while they are watching a movie?

Its not a very goodf idea when you're driving. I would discourage her.

We have the factory model for the Odyssey. I like that one, cant recommend a after market model.

For the same price as an installed model, you could buy each of your kids their own laptop model with personal headphones at Walmart.

I was thinking of doing that, but you cant residualize the DVD player, so might as well buy it aftermarket for much less.

Did you guys go overhead install or in the headrest? We have 3 little dudes, so rather than buying 3 screens, I was just going to put one decent sized one overhead and buy them the wireless headphones.

Lots of different brands out there, ours came built into our POS minivan. Yes they come with headphones, if not I would likely not be posting as I would have driven into the side of a mountain.

we've thought about that, but the problem is that when you are driving, they are all going to have problems...."mom, can you change the volume, can you press menu, etc...." it is easier to have the main controls right there by the driver and they just watch what is on the screen. they just turned 4, so they are not quite sophisticated enough to handle all their own electronics just yet. By the time they are 5 or 6, probably, but not quite yet.

It is a 9 inch screen, middle mount. Came with 4 wireless headphones. It is great for long trips. I like the factory because of the integration into the stereo unit. We can have our music and they can rock The Incredibles. But I am sure that they can get an aftermarket one to integrate the same.

that is exactly what I am looking for. the integration is key.

We bought one with 2 screens that have straps that go around any headrest. One of the screens is the actual player and there is of course a connection to an adapter required. Our van has them all over so the kids can watch from the different seats as needed. We usually leave it boxed up in the closet and mostly use it for trips. The kids get enough tv as it is.

Great suggestions. A few more:

Do you want me to just turn around and go home?

Don't make me come back there.

If I have to pull over to the side of the road...

We've had good luck with Audiovox.
