DVD/CD/MP3 Player (TFDVD7009)This full featured DVD player is the top of the
class in customer rating according to Amazon and doubles as both a CD player
and an MP3 player. The 7-inch screen offers a clear, concise picture and is
just the right size to make viewing easy without losing portability.
Don't forget the headphones, which easily plug into the unit, so your
daughter can watch The Princess and the Frog over and over without you having
to listen in. It weighs less than 3 pounds and can easily be handled by
children as well as teens. With a family-friendly price of under $60, this
deal can't be beat. 2. Phillips 7-Inch Portable LCD Dual DVD Player
(PD7016/37)In second place, according to Amazon's ranking, this is the one
for families with more than one child, honeymooners, and retirees taking to
the open road. This portable DVD player comes with two screens, allowing
for multiple people to enjoy a movie together without having to squish around
the 7 inch screen. And if your son wants to watch a different movie than
your daughter or your new hubby is into action and you are craving romance,
each of you can watch your own movie since the player can play the same movie
for both screens or a separate movie on each. It is lightweight, only 4
pounds, and can be purchased for under $140. It is almost like getting a
two for one deal. 3. Sony 9-Inch Portable DVD Player (DVP-FX970)This
individual DVD player from Sony comes with lots of bells and whistles and may
be the perfect gift for one of the men in your life. In addition to the
slightly larger 9-inch screen to match its slightly larger price tag, this
unit can run on battery power and includes a rechargeable battery that will
last for 6 hours. The screen swivels and flips 180 degrees which may come
in handy depending on how you are traveling this summer.4. RCA Twin Mobile
DVD Players (DRC6272)Similar in form and function to the Phillips dual
player, this RCA mobile DVD player comes with a slightly smaller price tag
and two separate remote controls, ensuring that no one will be fighting over
the remote. Both players can be mounted on the back of a car headrest and
have a 7-inch LCD screen. Each unit has separate built in speakers and
headphones or ear buds can be plugged into the convenient jack for quiet
enjoyment. The package includes A/C adapters and car adapters for both
units which enables you to split the two players up, using one it the car and
one in the house, or in two different locations while traveling. All in
all, these twin players are double the fun.5. Philips 7-Inch LCD Dual Screen
Portable DVD Player (PD7012/37)These units are very similar to their higher
end cousins that are sitting pretty up at number 2. With a lower price tag
(under $100) and a handy play resume feature, these portable DVD players are
great for a family heading out on a road trip. Play resume will restart
your movie from wherever it stopped each time there is a power loss. For
all the Moms and Dads out there, this means you won't have to try and
figure out where your child was in the movie every time you stop the car.With
portable DVD players available for every budget, there's no reason not to
splurge on one for your next trip. It will keep the kids (or you!)
entertained for hours on end, and may even help preserve your sanity when
you're stuck in the airport or on the tarmac. Happy travels./Note: This
