Even from the early days, my baby was not a big fan of riding in the car. Can you blame him? There is nothing very interesting or stimulating about staring at the back seat of a car. (even with toys or mirrors hanging there) At least not for my baby! I tried music and singing but nothing worked. It was difficult for me to focus on driving when my little boy sounded so miserable.
Then one magical day my Dad came over with an awesome present for the baby. It was a Sony portable DVD player from Costco, retailing at about $100. At Best Buy my Dad also bought a case that allowed the DVD player to be fastened to the headrest of the backseat and plugged into the cigarette lighter. It was a miracle! The baby was mesmerized! Sebastian obviously doesn’t understand the story but loves the colors and animation. Curious George movies are his favorite and every now and then I can hear him laughing. Dinosaur Train and Mickey Clubhouse are close seconds. When my sister and I took the boys to Disneyland, the DVD player was a godsend for the six-hour drive. The drive was only made sanely possible due to this wonderful invention. To me the DVD player is a must have for every Mommy car!
Little Guy loves his movie!
What is your opinion on DVD players in the car?
HALLELUJAH for DVD players in the car! I don't understand what all the fuss and opposition is about with babies and DVD players. I say YES!!!!
