and these in my local car shop,

the second one is more expensive but allows you to plug in a ps2 or xbox on the move, you need a invertor as well.

its against the law for a driver to see the screen whilst driving im told.

sorry to be so vague but there was a leaflet in my dads paper (Sun Mirror) offering one of these at half price circa £50 ??pixmania i think. sorry he's not in now to phone and ask.
maybe someone else can help
good luck
(even if you do have to pay full price you won't be sorry - we have travelled to france and spain in the car with our kids now 12 and 9)

I know this is quite an expensive option but we bought two separate players because the girls (six and three) will only argue about what to watch.

Suggest that you look at the Philips PET830 which is a lovely piece of kit with a nice big 8.5in screen.

Also if you need headphone for kids this age then look here:

I can vouch for the Veba (motorworld link). We have had ours for nearly 4 years and it has been great. One thing I do like about it is that you can stop the dvd, turn off the engine and it remembers where you are at, no restarting the dvd! We had it installed so that the player is in the glovebox and the screen is on a mount built into the headrest which can come off when parked.

We are looking for one too. Need one with out any buttons on the screen, to stop little fingers pressing them!

They had a pair for sale in Argos for under £50 ,look on the Argos web page .

Thanks imho. Have looked at them, but think the screen may be too small. Anyone got something with a bigger screen that they like?

I have a twin dvd player, it's the ventura one (simular to the argos one for £109), we have had it for about 4 years now and ues it all the time, when not using it in the car the kids have it up in their rooms and it's used at the weekends, we have not had any problems with this make at all, my mate bought the argos one earlier this year, it is not as solid as my one but it looks fine, given the price I think it's a good option
