DVD on the move
Watching DVD’s on the move has never been a problem for me in the past, my laptop with a nearby power socket has usually done the trick when necessary. But now I have 2 young boys who are apporaching the age where sitting in a car for an hour or longer becomes a bit of a stressful situation a portable DVD player would definately come in handy.
Why not the laptop?
Well the battery life of my laptop is no match for most portable dvd players and that compared to its size and weight also makes it a bit difficult for my son to use. That and i’m a bit partial to keeping it working.
So should I go for an in car only system, one that can work in and out of the car but can still fit discreetly in the car or a laptop style design? Watch this space for some reviews.

Yes a laptop in this situation is not ideal as a laptop does so much more that drains the battery. The portable DVD players are designed for just that and will do a better job of it - especially as they are less likely to get nicked or damaged

I think an in-car one would be great for the kids. Especially when they start to get older.
