In-Car DVD Players

Hello,

We're after a decent but not too expensive in-car dvd to distract the children on our upcoming long journeys. There seem to be many that all offer the same sorts of features. Which are the best value packs? What are the real things I should be looking for?

Are these any good from Argos?

Essential:
- 2 screens mountable on the headrests
- cables etc to plug into the lighter socket
- headphone sockets

Nice to have:
- play two different movies
- video & audio in (to take output from archos)
- headphones included

Not needed:
- multiregion
- photos, cdr, dvdr etc (don't have a burner)
- games (unless can be played by 4 and 2 year olds :-)
- separate headunit

My children are pretty young (4 and 2) so they aren't going to notice slightly if the screen picture quality isn't cutting edge.

Thanks for your help!
Lee.
