Any advice? I will be flying with a 24 month old for 4 and 1/2 hours and am desperate to entertain her... I am thinking some Elmo DVDs will help! What should I look out for? Also how long do the batteries last? Thanks for any info!

things I am looking for:

small (I'll have enough to lug around to start... so the smallest possible would be great)

durable with durable headphones (like i said, it's for a 24 month old!!) Then later will mainly be used by my 8 year old...

Cheaper batteries (in case I need to get an extra one) or long lasting would be good...

Julie, I got an Audiovox 9 inch portable LCD widescreen for Christmas. I love using it! It had the carrying bag, mounting straps and two folding headsets included. The battery is Lithium Polymer which is long lasting ( 6-8 hours ), but at home you can plug the player in or hook it up to the computer moniter or tv, too. The adapter is also included. It is compatible for DVD-CD-MP3-and Jpeg, too.

D1917PK model Julie. It comes with a remote control, too.

The 7" one you are looking at only has a three hour battery life.

Here's a comparison site -> Check this out

Also, the D1917PK is a new model. It has the automotive power adaptor, too. Not sure how much it weighs, but it's not much. Looks like the price is lower than the 7"!
