Hi All,

Planning to take a trip to wellington relatively soon and my 18month old daughter will be taking the trip with me.

I want to purchase something that I can attach to the back of the passenger seat that will play videos for the 9 hour trip.

There are plenty of dvd players out there but i just want a screen with a usb unput that can play videos.

Does anyone know of a new zealand supplier that sells something like this for cheap, dont want to spend much more than $100 and while i can find dvd players for that price i cant find a usb player version.

cheers all

Could you convert the DVD's to a file that will work on your smart phone (assuming you have one) and duct tape it to the back of the seat?

Cheap chinachinachina Android Tablet? Sun $150 on Trademe nowadays. Could even plug the audio output into your car's Aux input (if you have one) for better sound.

Conscious decision to take a baby on a 9hr drive = sanity gone.

Buy some of this:



Then do the trip at night / when they'd normally be asleep. $100 for something that plays off USB? Probably dreeeeeeeaming

One of these will read off a usb but would be a bit tricky to fit to a headrest.
Do you have a center console you could strap it to?

My dad has a digital photo frame that plays video thru memory sticks and usb,
think it was a few hundred thou, would also need a 12-240 invertor to power it,
its pretty slimline
Unfortunately i have idea on the brand,

Plus some big cable ties to hook around the headrest....

I've just done the same thing...inverter and laptop cheapest option. Also much less buggy, restarting etc. is a PITA when you're on the road and the missus has no idea how it works...
