What is the best dvd player for kids to use?

Question

I've seen commercials for the kid tough dvd player - but reviews say the screen is REALLY tiny and it still skips when the kids drops it, so is it really worth the money?

I've seen another one that was the same size but cheaper and not as "tough".

Have you ever bought one for your kids? What brand was it and do you like it?

Suggestions?

Answer 1

I honestly wouldn't spend any money on the tough kid dvd player that you've seen in commercials getting dropped down the steps and stuff. If you're mainly going to use it for long trips, aka in the car, then I'd suggest just buying a normal portable dvd player. I don't what kind of vehicle you drive so you'd have to determine the best way to secure it in the car. Here's the link for the tough kid dvd player:

Here's a list of much cheaper portable dvd players that cost almost half the price, that have larger screens, and more battery life:

Because in all honesty I don't see the purpose of the tough kid dvd player for use in a car. Now if they are in the house, that might be a different story with your kids, but if they really want to watch a dvd why can't you just stick it into one of the televisions/dvd players around the house? And save yourself 140 bucks?

As a mother and a teacher I can say that our children are overstimulated. Every toy makes a sound or does something to catch the attention of the child. Children especially infants DO NOT NEED TV or extra stimulation it is too much for their brains. An infant takes in more information in the first 18 months of life than they do from 18 months until old age. You are setting yourself, your child and your child's teachers up for a hard time. Give your baby the gift of your time. Listen to music, sing to your baby and talk to him; get books on tape. When we went on long trips we bring along the babies lullaby CD. When she hears it her body is used to going to sleep because we always play it when she goes to sleep. I know babies are overwhelming and you feel like you are losing sight of you, but trust me it goes by fast and you will miss this time. Time around the dinner table and time in the car are quality time for my children and I. I learn about their day, talk about friends and learn if something is bothering them. Use the car as a coming together place and don't look at it as a small place where you are stuck with your kids. By the way my husband is a police officer and cars with DVDs get broken into all the time.
