Mobile DVD player for kids

Parents (especially parents of twins) can now sleep in peace during long trips knowing that Disney's new Dual-Screen Mobile DVD system makes it possible for both their kids to squint at the same movie without bumping their heads. What a breakthrough! Will this mobile DVD player make kids enjoy movies quietly from now on? Maybe, but probably not (what if you don't have twins, but triplets, eh?).

Both displays measure 7-inch in size and can be strapped onto the back of each headrest. Features include a couple of integrated speakers, two headphones, a car power adapter, and a full function remote control. The device supports DVD video, audio CDs, picture CDs, DVD+R and DVD+RW. Parents can use the TV Guardian option to filter offensive TV channels (for the right subscription price of course). The device comes with a handle for easy portability and several faceplates (Pirates of the Caribbean and Tinker Bell) in order to keep the kids satisfied, silent and busy.

The Dual screen mobile DVD system will be available in May for 179,99 $ from Target stores. The new players are currently shipping with a Disney DVD disc sampler featuring a compilation of Disney Channel's hottest entertainment from Hannah Montana: "The Cheetah Girls", to "High School Musical Jump In "and "Cory In The House".

In other news, the ultra popular Disney Mix Max video MP3 players, Disney Mix Stick MP3 players and Disney Pix camera lines have been refreshed with tunes from 3 themes from ?Hannah Montana? and ?Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End designs?.
