We loved this player at first. The kids could watch the same movie or different movies. My oldest (4 at the time) could figure out the remote to run it herself. My only complaint then was that it didn't come with a battery pack to be used on an airplane. I found a website where you could order one though for about $25. But within about 3 months, one of the players would just stop for no reason every so often. It would start playing again if you restarted it, but then you'd have to remember where you were in the movie and get there again. We then just switched to only using the other one. Now after another 3 months (6 months after buying it) that one stops too - every time we go over a bump or turn a corner. It drives me insane. It was so frustrating for the kids that they don't even ask to see a movie in the car anymore. So if you want to spend over $200 for the use of a dvd player for a few months, go ahead.
