Philips PET712 Portable DVD Player

If you're thinking of investing in a portable DVD player for those long summer car journeys then the PET712 is a splendid proposition. Not only do the dual screens make it very convenient if you have two kids in the car, but it's also simple to use and...

A godsend for a recent journey which took 6 hours longer than expected. It kept our 3 year old occupied in the most boring car journey ever. Only criticism, there are too many wires, not the easiest to keep tidy in the car whilst driving.

Great Product - messy wiring

Quiet kids, happy journey!

We bought this for our holiday and boy, we're glad we did. 4 hours of total bliss for the boys in the back. A couple of downers though. There are lots of leads and this can look messy - we used cable tidies and this did help. Another is that once...
