There are several approaches to finding the right portable DVD player for your kids. You’ll want something that’s easy to use and durable. Depending on how many kids you have, and how you want them to use the DVD player, there are a few options.
If you’re looking for a simple portable DVD player that only 1 child is going to use, a single screen option is probably the best way to go. Most portable DVD players offer speakers and head phone jacks, a single screen, and ones built for kids offer bright, colorful, easy to navigate systems to get them up and running quickly.

Philips offers a great one that kids could use. The Philips Pet741 is durable, easy to use and comes in 3 colors sure to appeal to your kids (hot pink, lavender and white). Retailers offer this item for a variety of costs, and discount companies, like Tech-Chic.com offer it for around $93.
Another personal portable option is the Coby Tf-Dvd500 Portable DVD Player. It offers a smaller model than the Philips, and at 3.5 inches, the screen fits well into smaller hands. Tech-Chic offers this item for around $77 and it features a rechargeable battery, and fairly easy to use functionality to get your kids watching what they want quickly.
If your family is on the road a lot, perhaps a dual screen portable DVD player is better suited for you. Dual screen DVD players offer some added features other portable players don’t. The biggest one is a second screen, just in case you have more than one child trying to watch the same thing. This eliminates bickering over who’s closest to the screen, and – as they can fasten to the back of your headrest in the car – offers maximum safety so your kids can still see the movie but remain secure in their seats for the duration of the ride.
Tech-Chic offers a variety of dual screen DVD players to suit your needs.
The Polaroid DPA-07051B Dual Screen DVD player offers 2 7-inch high definition screens. It plays all types of DVDs, CDs and will even show JPEGs. It also has dual headphone jacks on the main screen and one jack on the secondary screen, allowing several kids to listen to the movie at once, leaving you to enjoy a peaceful ride in the car. The second screen also has an audio/visual input, which allows kids to play games on it, and with the optional adapter is compatible with most gaming systems, making it a perfect entertainment option for your kids. Tech-Chic offers this model for around $124.
Philips offers a similar dual screen portable DVD player solution. The Philips 7-Inch Dual Screen Portable DVD Player offers a lot of the same features of the Polaroid, including a 7-inch LCD display, it mounts easily to the headrest in your car for maximum viewing from all your passengers, and a slim design that’s only 1.5 inches thick for maximum portability. This item is available from Tech-Chic for around $130.
