We bought this for our 3 year old son to help with long journeys. It is a very compact portable DVD player, the design of it is impressive. It was easy to use, in fact, our 3 year old had worked out which buttons to press after a short time, although we still kept overall control in case he was a little too rough! It kept him quiet for a whole 3 1/2 hour train journey which was fantastic. We are also planning on using it for car journeys and plane journeys as well.
The DVD player itself produced a very high sound and picture quality and I was particulary impressed by the long battery life which lasted between 3 - 4 hours. This is quite an important point to bear in mind if you are looking for a player to play a whole film as a lot of DVD players only have batteries that last just over 2 hours.
The player comes with a battery charger, cigerette charger for car journeys, remote control and also a SD card slot which is another great option not offered by all portable DVD players.
I would highly recommend this unit, especially as we got ours from Amazon at a sale price.
