Fisher Price DVD Player

The Fisher-Price Kid Tough Portable DVD Player is an expensive toy, but many parents say that it is worth the investment because of its ability to keep a child entertained for long periods, such as during long car trips. It is also made so that children as young as three can operate it without help from adults.

This is the first portable DVD player made for young children. It is made to survive being dropped and all the other trauma a young child is capable of inflicting on a toy. The batteries are rechargeable and hold a charge for about two hours. It is made to keep young children happily engaged without the risks that non kid-friendly electronics would face in the hands of a three-year-old.

It has a 3.2 inch color screen, the rechargeable batteries, battery charger with wall power unit, a dual-rail DVD drive and digital anti-skipping buffer so that kids see a continuous show without skips. It also features stubby handles that are just right for little hands, and controls and a DVD door that are easy for children to operate. And it can play CDs as well. Kick stand legs fold out for when a child tires of holding it and wants to put it down. There is also a video out port and headphone jack. The total size is 8.5 x 2.25 x 9 inches.

This has also been touted as a good device for older children with special needs because the buttons are big and operating them is easy, and the child develops the confidence that comes from controlling his or her own DVD player.

Parents have reported great results when using this player while grocery shopping or running personal errands because it keeps a child happily engaged, and if it falls onto the floor, it will most likely survive. Read the latest reviews at Amazon.com.
