Purchased this for our 2 year old to watch movies on the airplane while travaling.

Pros

-Clear 7 inch screen even when viewed at an angle. I sat 2 seats over from my son and could still watch the movie just fine.

-Very clear and crisp audio at higher volumes and volume control is precise enough for equally good quality at lower levels. We were able to listen just fine on the plane without disturbing the people in fornt or behind us

-Ease of use. There aren't too many options to fiddle with. The movies load very quickly and can be from stop to DVD menu in a few seconds.

-Not too bulky. Closed, it's about the size of a moderately sized hard-cover novel.

-Price. Can't beat this for under a hundred bucks.(8 inch screens are more expensive. Not sure if the extra inch is worth the price difference

Cons

-Battery life. Lasted about 2 hours. This is fine for short trips, but when trying to keep a 2-year old occupied for long distances it might be an issue.

One thing I should add is the color might be an issue for some. The white is a cool offest to the black and gives it an apple-esque look. However, if kids are handling it you may want to think twice. I can picture the pretty white not being too pretty after a few run ins with a little one. Maybe stick to the black for kids and the white for adults....that is unless you dont really mind this thing being dirtied up.

Overall I would give this a 5 star rating but the battery life brings it down to a 4. If I can run my laptop for almost 4 hours on a battery, this thing should be able to do more that that.

Bought this for my 5 yr. old daughter she loves it of course! the 7inch screen is quite small, but picture quality is good. It just seems a bit flimsy, I'm not optimistic that this is going to last any longer than a year. But, it's what I paid for because it's for a 5yr old! he battery life is very short maybe 1.5-2 hrs. It constantly needs to be recharged, and it DOES NOt recharge while it's plugged in and being watched simultaneously. Has to be powered off. It's alright.

We purchased this from a retail store this summer. Loved the picture and sound quality but, as another reviewer pointed out, the battery life is not optimal. We were also frustrated by lack of an "off" button. (When you turn the player to "off/recharge" the battery loses power.) The bad part? Less than 9 months after purchasing the player it has died. Now we don't have a DVD player and I have to find someone to take it off my hands.

I have had this dvd player for 2 weeks now and the picture is sharp, the sound is great, especially while riding in the car.It is light and no fuss, you just turn it on for the first time and it plays, the directions are so easy you don't even need to read the instrustions, perfect for anyone who is electronially challenged. It lasts around 2 hours after charging, I wish it would last longer but you can recharge in your car with a car charger until you get home. I do recommend this product for the price, I am not sure the higer end priced dvd players do any better.

We bought our Philips portable DVD player after our last flight with our 2 year-old son, Hank. Our previous flight was a nightmare and I'm sure we were hated by everyone six isles in each direction. This last trip we set him up with his fave movie and never heard a peep out of him, except laughing. I highly recommend this plan to anyone traveling with tots.
