While I doubt either will result in less or more crying.

The headrest DVD was a bit more so we went with a portable. It was mountable or hung off the seats so same in my book. Later some game units and the 10 YO had plenty to do. God help us if they want a Cell Phone.

the headrest DVD usually can playDVDs and CDs, and allows the units to play more video games, such as you can hook up an Xbox or play station, and then you can play more games.Some ppl prefer the portable DVD, because it is easy to get in and out their cars. If you are an outdoor fanatic, it is very convenient.
