Dvd player head rest mounted

Hi all

I've done a search for dvd players but not found much. What I'm looking for is a dvd player with two headrest mounted screens for the kids. I'm not looking for it to be permanently fitted, just something for long journeys. Has anyone got this kind of thing? They don't seem to be made by any of the bigger brands from what I can tell.

Any suggestions? Oh and ipads etc are not an option and no I can't be bothered to explain why

I got a nextbase dvd player from Halfords . its the click and go one so just slides out of mount when not needed

and I cant fault it, been really good

we even take it out the defender and use it in the b&b (plug it in to tele ) when we go away
and you can buy a extra mount to use in another car

search google for nextbase website as I don't think Halfords do the click and go ones now

know what you mean about ipad , I tried it , don't like apple stuff anyway , don't like being tied to apple iTunes, having to buy it on disc and iTunes ,doesn't stop when you do , little fingers on the screen

I looked for what I would call a good make one , had a look at roof ones (but wanted one to use in other cars as well)
looked at the built in headrest ones cheap cr@p or over priced nothing inbetween
looked at the rosen ones they looked cr@p made and too many wires

Cool, nextbase were the main candidates for me. Only question I have about them is that the thing that attaches them to the headrest seems to require the more typical two metal poles whereas the defender has one single metal 'shaft' for the headrests. How does this work?

P.s my thoughts on Apple exactly! Michael was just telling me a story about a friend of his who slept with a land rover, lonely nights in the desert..

ah yes I got the two post seats

not sure if they do single post mounts
but think they do a strap on type one for headrests

just had look at mine and don't think it would fit the single post seats without cutting off the twin mount and making a single post mount ,but the power runs though the mount so you would have to plug lead into dvd player
