Score 9.0/10

+ Excellent sound and picture quality, compact and nice looking design. The battery life is pretty good and both screens work really well.

- A bit fiddly with the battery pack that fits on top rather than being built in. If the battery is on the screen then its hard to fit the in-car straps. The in car straps are generally a bit awkward to put on as you need to take the clips off first but actually they are a lot better than most designs once they are on and are really secure in the car.

+ Does what it says on the box.

- Battery will not retain charge so we can only use the player either with in car or mains charger as a result.

+ for the price it works well playing retails DVDs with good picture and surprisngly good sound quality.

- the device often fails to play our home made dvds. The positioning of the sockets could be easier

+ Really easy to set up...so glad we bought this. Kept the kids amused from the Isle of wight all the way down to Cornwall!!

- The only bad point...(and i'm being picky here) is that if you knocked the plug into the cigarette lighter it switched off.

+ i have only used the parent screen but it is very good for young children and keeping them amused while on a plane in restaurant in bed etc.

- the wiring and leads are really dangerous in the car

Score 8.0/10

+ portable with the mother screen. very handy just to move around especially if you only have one tv in your house

- i have only this weekend connected up the wiring in the car and i must say i am a bit worried as there are wires running round the car that could be interfered with by the children and even worse do run alongside the hand brake etc. you have to have both sets of wires as it is a twin screen but i will try it out for a couple of journeys to see if it causes any really problems
