The Number One Travel “Toy”

by Julie on December 17th, 2007

What’s the number one travel “toy” that helps keep parents and kids sane on a long road trip? You got it….the portable dvd player. We bought our first one about 6 years ago. This tv was a monster - not the tv screen, it was tiny, but the unit itself was a beast. It was one of those console tvs that fits in between the driver and passenger seat on the floor. It served its purpose and we got rid of it after we bought a car that it didn’t fit in anymore. I was glad to see that thing go.
We then upgraded a little to a smaller portable dvd player and it has been used on many a trips. It has finally died, so for our trip to Colorado this Christmas, we have once again upgraded to another portable dvd player.

My husband and I always tell the kids that we didn’t have tvs when we traveled. We actually had to entertain ourselves and play games, read books, color, etc. They can’t believe how tough our lives used to be, lol!

We’ve already put the dvd player in our car and the kids love it. The sound is great, the picture is crystal clear and I think it’s going to help make our 25 hour, 1600 plus mile trip a little easier.  I’m exhausted already just thinking about it.
