I can't say enough about how overjoyed I am with this product. Like the review posted earlier, I too have never submitted an online review of a product until this one.

I don't ever write reviews, but wanted to share my experience with those who are having a hard time finding the perfect dvd player for the back of headrest. I originally bought a portable Sony 8" dvd player and was using a Case Logic dvd bag to strap it on the back of the headrest or hang in between the 2 bucket seats and it was horrible. The dvd player kept sagging when positioned in the middle and when it was positioned on the headrest my daughter kept kicking it shut. Plus, it was very messy looking with like 100 straps everywhere:( I even tried the Mo-Go platform dvd holder and that was horrible too. I just got the Nextar and I couldn't believe how good the quality of the picture and sound were. I was expecting it to totally stink. Better than the Sony I have and much cheaper. The picture was so much better than the Audiovox dual 7" car dvd set or any other mobile dvd for the headrest. The way it hooks onto the headrest is what really sold me in the first place. No straps or velcro; it's a very clean hookup and may be angled up and down. No other car dvd player has this hookup. You can even take it off the prongs and use it as a portable. Super easy to use! The Nextar has all the features I was looking for. I only wish they made it in a larger screen, but it's more than adequate for backseat enjoyment. Even has an FM transmitter, so you can hear the sound on your car speakers. Unbelievable & I'm a very picky person! Don't waste your time and money on another set.

We were looking to buy a Grand Caravan and were purchasing one without the dvd built in and so were checking options for putting a dvd in there for the kids. We found this Nextar Mobile Dvd player in Target stores for only $149.99 and were amazed at how great it was for the price. The way it attaches to the car seat headrest is easy and convenient, it doesn't move around like the ones that strap on, the screen pivots so you can adjust it and best of all you can use either wireless fm headsets (available at walmart for $20 each) or you can purchase a connector from radio shack for about $8 with attachments for up to 3 sets of earphones. We went initially with the wireless route but found all three channels gave static on the headphones that was distracting, so took them back and went with the wired approach and it works perfectly. The dvd player itself has a great screen, large enough for all three of our daughters to watch with bright colors and for a quarter of the price of an overhead video dvd player, you just can't go wrong. The dvd players comes with AC power, car AC power connector AND battery that you can charge up to use when you don't have power available. You can change it between vehicles, you can use it at home, you can go camping and watch a movie in your tent - this dvd player does it all!

This portable dvd player is compact enough to use almost anywhere or for any method of traveling. You never have to worry about not being able to hear your video and it isn't a big ordeal to set up or take down. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is that there is a fuzzy white ring around the outside of the screen that can be seen when the background is dark.

When I first saw this item, I thought it was the perfect dvd player for the car.It worked perfectly for over a year,no problems at all. Then all of a sudden it started to lock-up or freeze the screen. My son would give it a little tap to get it going again. Now it will not work when it is cold outside. I still use it when I travel, the accessories let me use it through the hotel tv. I purchased another one and have not had any problems so far after about six months.I still think for the price it is a great deal.
