5 Essential Features Of Portable DVD Players For Cars

January 25, 2013

Enduring long car journeys with your children in the back of the car can be a real test of patience, especially when you are being asked ‘are we there yet’ every five minutes. Over the last few years portable DVD players for cars have become increasingly popular, providing the perfect solution for keeping children entertained on long car journeys. If you are thinking of investing in one for your next trip away, here are five essential features that every good portable DVD player should have.

Car mountable

Portable DVD players for cars must have secure mounting straps which fasten around the headrests of the front seats. Tablet style portable DVD players usually come with in-car mounting straps, making them the perfect choice. Portable DVD players should be easy to fix to your headrests, and simple to remove when you are leaving the car. It is important that they are fastened securely to prevent accidents from occurring.

Wireless headphones

All portable DVD players for cars come with earphones which you can plug into the jacks located on the side of the screen. If you are worried about your children tangling up the wires, or losing the small in-ear headphones, then your best option is to choose wireless headphones. Wireless headphones use infrared transmitters which are included in some high-end portable DVD players, but can also be purchased separately. Wireless headphones are usually designed to fit over the ears, making them comfortable to wear for long periods of time. One of the advantages of infrared transmitters is that you can connect as many pairs of wireless headphones as you need to.

USB and SD card compatible

If you are going on a long holiday it is likely that your children are not going to want to watch the same DVDs over and over again. Rather than taking all of your DVDs with you and risking them getting lost or damaged, it may be best to purchase a portable DVD player for your car than has USB and SD ports. This means that you can rip your DVD collection on your computer and transfer the files onto your USB stick or SD card.

Battery life

When choosing between portable DVD players for cars it is essential that you pick a system that has adequate battery life, which should last around two to three hours. Remember the bigger your screen size and the higher the resolution, the more battery power it is going to use. It is recommended that you purchase lithium rechargeable batteries as they do not have memory, meaning you can re-charge the battery at any stage without cutting down its life span.

Dual screens

Portable DVD players for cars with dual screens are perfect if you have two or three passengers sitting in the back. Many players allow you to watch a separate film on each of the units, preventing your children from arguing over which film to watch first. In terms of screen size portable DVD players can range from around four to seventeen inches. Bigger screens will usually offer a better quality picture, however they are more expensive and often seem less portable. For in-car use it is best to choose a mid-range screen size which will offer comfortable viewing, whilst still being portable.

Conclusion

With so many different systems out there it can be difficult to choose between portable DVD players for cars. The most expensive portable DVD players are not always the most practical for in-car use, so make sure you compare them against mid-range players before coming to a decision. It is best to think about which features are the most important to you and choose the model which offers the closest fit to your specification.
