After years of doing the 10 hour drive north to my parent's house, I finally caved and bought one of these.
The 3 older kids have all been great travellers, but little Ben, almost 2 Ben, with ants in his pants (or nappy rather) was in need of a bit of help for the journey, his beloved Wiggles.
I sewed up a quick case for the DVD player that is lined with polar fleece for a bit of protection, and has a pocket on the front to hold the cords. Bright? yes, but it does the trick.
And I am pleased to report we arrived in one piece, and reasonably sane.
