Portable DVD players for kids?

If we're talking built in units, I want to be adopted. :-) Thinking

One of the players that we bought for our kids came with a seat back holder,
the other we bought a caselogic seat back holder. Both work fine.

For power we bought a three way splitter for the cigarette lighter and an
extension cord to get power into the "wayback" seats. It works in both the
airplane and the car. I wouldn't mind wiring in a couple aux power plugs
for the middle and rear seats. Maybe while the interior is out during our
annual.

Double check which circuit your cigarette lighter is on. Ours happens to be
on the heater combustion fan circuit, so we know if it starts getting cold,
the kids need to give back a few amps!

Yeah, I don't want ANOTHER splitter off of my only cigar lighter. I've
already got two moving map GPS's plugged into that sucker.

If I install a "power port" in the back seat (under the guidance of my
A&P, of course), do I have to use any kind of a special "aviation power
port" kit -- or can this be any high-quality automotive equivalent that
my A&P will sign off?

Sounds like it's time to add a second battery and alternator with their
own buss. :-))

One from Radio Shack is fine.
