Just tested the DVD players on a two hour ride. Works perfectly and easy to set up. I like the fact that that the player remembers where it left off so you don't have to restart the movie from the beginning. The units can be powered either by cigarette lighter (both players) or wall outlet (for one player). And the straps for the vehicle head rests work just fine. Overall, I am pleased with this product. Philips PD7012/37 7-Inch LCD Dual Screen Portable DVD Player, Black
I recently purchased this item after much researching and reading reviews of other similiar products. I was desperate for portable Dvd players for my sons (ages 3 1/2 and 7) for our long ride on vacation.
These are great! They were VERY easy to hook up. The actual screens fit very well around the headrests and were perfect for viewing by my sons. My oldest son (age 7) was able to work the entire thing independently including changing dvds. Volume and picture are great. Each screen has individual volume and brightness controls. I love the fact that after turning off/on the car, the dvd starts where you left off. That is a nice feature that alot of other players do not have. Great product and exactly what we were looking for!
I bought these to entertain my 2 year old twins on longer trips. I have had them for a couple of months now and I really can't complain. They have a good picture quality and can be connected to a TV (which was great when we were on vacation). It is true they only work when plugged in. There is no stored battery, but that has not been an issue for me. My only wish is that it came with a remote. It is impossible to restart a movie while I am driving. They were worth the $119 I spent. (Best Buy on sale)
We got this for long car rides and have used it 4 times so far...kids love it! Easy to set up and use, good picture, ok sound (have to set both screens volume at high for highway travel). Power cords are long enough to reach from front car outlet to 2nd row headrest for the kids in the 3rd row. Velcro straps connect screens to headrests easily and securely.
READ THE OWNERS MANUAL: Many reviews I read before buying this complained about the 2nd screen not working right from the start and I wonder if they read in the manual were it says DO NOT connect the second screen to the 1st while the 1st is on, turn both screens off before connecting.
Overall we are very happy with this product and recommend it.
These worked great for our 38 hour drive each way. With two screens, we didn't have to find just one place to put a single screen and have all the kids be able to see it. The cords were long enough, though some vans may be too spread out (we have a car plug in the back of our van between the two seats). Sound from the unit is loud enough, and of decent quality. The only complaint is that there is no internal battery, so the player must be plugged in to work. It does come with a car plug as well as a/c, though.
I bought this before taking 14 hour drive with my 4 children and without my husband. We plugged it in and it worked great the first time. The kids were thrilled. Unfortunately every time we used it after this either the second screen didn't work or there was a loud buzzing or the screen was fuzzy. I tried rearranging the cords, changing positions but nothing seemed to help. I ended up returning it and am disappointed that it wasn't more reliable.
Installing this DVD player was a breeze, works exactly as advertised. As other reviewers have mentioned, the best feature is that it starts where you left off. Other than that, the features overall are great, screen resolution is good, no issues really. Very nice item, would highly recommend!
We bought these for our twins to watch on a long drive when we moved. At first they were great but then 4 weeks later the 2nd one stopped working. Amazon replaced it, 5 weeks later those stopped working. Here I am returning a THIRD set and I dont want another one. I will be looking for a new brand to buy.
I bought the dual screen player a week before a trip for my 6 year old and 2 year old. They worked very well and I would recommend that you get headphones if your children will wear them. The dual volume controls are nice and the straps work pretty well. If your headrests are tapered on the sides it can be a little challenging when attaching but we made it work. I would recommend this system.
These DVD players are awesome - not only for their function, but for how handy they were to install. The second screen is great for the friend that may accompany my infant. They are easy to work and I have them hanging on the back seat headrest of our SUV for the rear facing carseat. The only complaint I have it that it is only powered by a powersouce, not with battery or batteries for outside the vehicle. But, I purchased for the single reason of car trips since our infant seems to get very impatient after 20 min of riding. Great price for the high quality that they are. I would reccommend these for children or adults!'
