so old school

shared data connection + Netflix or films on device.

Old school because their devices don't have SD/MicroSD card slots (Ipad 2 and a Nexus 7 2013) ... Not to mention, the DVD players can synchronise a film across both players at once, run on power from the car and I can easily get new content when out and about.

Oldschool still has its uses. We are a 'technologically appropriate' household Not to mention I've only got a 2GB data allowance that Netflix would chew through too quickly.

To be honest, my lads generally chat to us or listen to the radio when we're driving and they're quite happy with it. The DVD players only come out for 1hr+ drives

£130 for this spec?

As for specs it's looking to be at the lowest end of the spectrum with a unnamed quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, 32GB microSD support and Android 5.1.

We have a tablet here (near disposable) that was bought for £30 with that spec.

second hand iPad 2/3 should go for £130-£200

"kid proof' tablets only teach your children to be irresponsible. My son hasn't put a scratch on his Nexus 7 since he got it for his 5th birthday. It's just in a normal 'adult' case.

Why can't the children share a tablet or do you have a family one they can use. I'm not too keen on giving too many gadgets to children though, hence my DD was 13 before she had a TV in her room and 14 before she had a laptop! We never found need for mobile DVD players as we are a family who like to sing loudly along to CD/Radio in car

DD has abandoned her iPod in favour of just using her iphone and uses Spotify mainly. OH radio isn't blue tooth but you can buy a lead to connect it to a special socket in the front arm rest but as DD in uni and rarely in car we stick to what we know!

I added a Parrot bluetooth to my car as my old sat nav wasnt up to the task.
Not cheap but a great unit that gave line in/bluetooth/ipod connectivity.
