Recommended DVD Player?

I'm looking at DVD players for the car and was wondering if there's one that anyone here has that they would recommend. I want one that I can attach to a vehicle headrest and that doesn't need to be plugged into the lighter, since ours doesn't work.

I'm aware of the risk to a rear facer, so I'm thinking about attaching it to the front passenger seat and angling her mirror to see it. And only if I feel it's necessary for the long trip. But I'd like some recommendations to narrow it down. Thanks!

DH bought a cheapo Phillips one a couple weeks ago and we used that in the car on a road trip. With two rear-facers and a boostered kid, I put the player in the middle headrest and gave the boostered kid a mirror.

My personal comfort level is that I need to have it permanently installed, not just attached to a headrest. But that's me.

We have a little RCA one. We got it from Walmart for about 100 bucks. Our lighter doesnt work either but the dvd player holds enough charge to play one movie about 90 mins long, which is sufficient enough for us. i only put it on when they are getting really restless and we still have a few hours to go.

That would be nice but not an option for us. :(

It wasn't an option for us in our last two vehicles, either. So I just didn't get one.

If you know someone good at wiring and such, I've since found a kit for one that can be permanently installed on Amazon for just a little over $200.
