As I know nothing about electrical goods, just wondered if anyone could recommend a good portable dvd player that we could use in the car on long journeys with our son. Do all portables just come with a device that enables you to strap them to the seat in front as there's no way he'd sit and hold it on his lap? I don't want to spend a fortune as it won't be used that often but just wondered if anyone knew a good basic model that would work in the car. Thanks

Ours is made by Phillips. Initially, we had the single one that attaches to the head rest but now with two children, we use another model also by Phillips with two monitors (but plays the same dvd) that attaches to the head rest. We bought ours in HK but am sure you can find them here.


Hope this helps, -C

We have a two-screen Philips that straps to the headrests and plugs into the cigarette lighter for power. It's great. I researched other makes where you have to wear headphones, either because they don't have external speakers, or because they were so weak that the soundtrack couldn't be heard over the car noise. I was a bit concerned about this as I think earphones worn too young can damage hearing. It isn't a problem with the Philips, the volume is absolutely fine, and by the time we got to Italy I could recite most episodes of Peppa Pig word perfect.

My husband bought ours without doing any research, not my style :)

We ended up with one that only has a three hour battery life (I would look for one with more but not the end of the world). Ours also came without any way to attach to seat , but we did manage to find a thingy it goes into to strap on the seat.

Those would be my two criteria.


We recently ended up on a 10 hr flight to discover the on flight t.v.'s were not working. THANKFULLY we had the dvd so it wasn't a disaster....... can't say I would ever travel without it again!


Also recently spent a weekend in a little hotel room with one sports channel. Again, dvd to the rescue. (My it sounds like my kid does nothing but watch tv... not true!) But it sure does take the edge off.........

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
