Disney Personal Dvd Player
Very Cute....But Not Practical
When I first saw this cute little DVD player I knew it was the perfect thing for my 3 year old daughter to have.  She could be independent and watch movies or shows on her own player while mommy and daddy watched other shows, or she could watch the player when we traveled to grandma's house or to the store, or wherever her little heart desired.  Grandma bought her this item for Christmas and it was quite a disappointment.  My daughter loved it....when the battery had power, which is almost never.  You see, the battery only holds about 2.5 hours of charge and it has no availability for a car charger.  That would mean we would get halfway to grandma's and that would be the end of the DVD player.  Though the unit said it would hold up to 2.5 hours of charge, my daughter's unit never lasted that long.  It was out of battery halfway through Cinderella on more than one occassion.  I was so disappointed to have to take it back to the store, but it went back immediately and we purchased another DVD player that is a little larger and has all the chargers necessary to keep a 3 year old in DVD mode all the way to grandma's house.   <br /> <br />Pros: <br /> <br />The unit seemed very durable and seemd as though it would hold up to the mild abuse she might give it (she is pretty careful with her things). <br /> <br />The unit is very cute and any little girl would love it. <br /> <br />It's nice to have something portable that the kids can take with them and feel independent and stay occupied on car trips <br /> <br />If you are only looking for a player that will work similar to a Video Now type product, this will play 20 -30 minute shows and will last likely for one grocery store trip. <br /> <br />Cons: <br /> <br />Battery, battery, battery.  What more can I say?  With limited battery charging options, this is the unit's downfall. <br /> <br />No car charger adapter available!! <br /> <br />With the limited charging options and low battery life, this isn't the thing for cartrips or for your child to watch even 1 full movie. <br /> <br />Bottom line, I can't recommend this product.  There are products that cost the same or just a little more that have more to offer.
