I purchased this instead of buying a headrest mount dvd player. We've had a couple cheap portable dvd players from target laying around from Christmas last year and I figured why not use those? They really weren't getting any use around the house.The kids (ages 4 and 7) seem to have this setup figured out now and our initial dvd player is still going strong. If nothing else I'm getting use out of something that would have just sat in a room. Good price and works well for what it is.
