Panasonic DVD-LX97
DVD players in cars are a godsend for parents when undertaking long journeys in the car. You know what it's like: your little darlings get bored after half an hour and then proceed to spend the rest of the trip repeating the eternal refrain 'Are we there yet?'
Which is where the Panasonic LX97 comes in. Its 9" screen has a sharp, high-quality image with a good colour balance and can be attached to the back of a headrest. It's also perfect for travelling thanks to its six-hour battery - long enough for a couple of Harry Potter films. An FM transmitter also means that the audio can be broadcast to the car stereo system, or (a better option) the two headphone jacks lets the kids enjoy the action while you listen to the music you want. What price peace and quiet? About £250.
