You don't have to drive a monster SUV or a minivan to get mobile video — you can use the Audiovox D1210 in just about any vehicle with a back seat.

The included mounting bag straps securely to the back of a front seat.

What do you get when you mix four siblings, three rows of seats, two hours on the interstate, and one driver? If you add the Audiovox D1210 video system, the answer is a peaceful, easy trip and a mom that arrives refreshed and ready to take on the theme park. Instead of arriving at the park feeling as if I'd spent the last long one hundred and twenty minutes refereeing at the United Nations, I was ready to tackle the rides rather than my kids for asking "Are we there yet?" every quarter mile.

Over Spring Break, my kids (Austin - 10, Tyler - 10, Sean - 8 and Kathleen - 3) and I planned a "Mom and Me" adventure to a regional theme park. The kids have honestly always been great travelers (read: car-ride sleepers). But as they have gotten older, our frequent 1-3 hour car trips have gotten tenser and harder to tolerate — both from their perspective and mine. A few trips ago, we started borrowing a portable DVD player for the longer trips. That player was an early generation model, bulky and not all that "portable," despite the name. So when I went looking for a portable DVD player for our Spring Break adventure, I had a few requirements:

• it should be easy enough for a ten-year-old to operate without much parental guidance
• it should handle at least two, preferably more, headphones
• it should be truly portable — easy to install in the car, but it should also have speakers, so we can use it at our destination as well as on the way.

I found all these and more in the Audiovox D1210.
