I want to get a portable DVD player for my son...?

[dna9488]

dbj does bring up some good points.

Ya she does, we were talkin about it on Friday actually. She was telling me as a kid, all she did was look out the window and figure out where she was.
Than at home she would look it up on a map and figure places out.

I've been looking around and not sure about these. I'm looking for something around $100. He will primarily use it in his room to watch his movies. Costco has a Philips 9in and an Audiovox 9in. I also looked at best buy and nothing grabbed my attention.

I got one for 20 bucks to take with me to Thailand and that thing works fine. It is a poloroid (lol, yes camera people)
7" inch screen though but i think thats why it looks good. Its not big enough to look fucked up.

I get what DBJ is saying, but being a good parent combats all that.

Stay away from portables that cost more than $35....Not sure you could afford it:rofl:

Why is that?

[wnabeabeast]

I didn't open the links but stay away from the ones with a plastic clip on headrest attachments I got a panasinuc a couple years back and with in six months plastick clip broke so get the one that straps on to the headrest with a velcro or something.

And dbj I didn't even begin to read your bs about why I shouldn't get a portable DVD player for my kid because...really? Kids these days have everything including an mp3 player so what if he or she is watching a cartoon for an hour while we are driving somewhere? Unless you take the tv or the movies out compeleteley from the kids life it doesn't matter a bit if he watches tv at home or in the car.
Oh and if you want your kid to listen to music put a music vide in the DVD player and watch them sing and imitate all the dancing it's whole lot more fun. :)

and that's why i never get lost and will probably not buy a GPS unless it's built into my bmw.

true. that's something that i left out. but it also depends on your kid's personality too. if you kid has an addictive personality what would stop them from wanting to play their portable games/devices everywhere? bathroom, kitchen, right before bed even.

oh, i know. i've seen plenty of kids do that as well, but in that case, you're not isolating the child and putting him "in a virtual corner". that would be something that the family would enjoy. and there are plenty of alternative options like leap frog.
