Is there a portable DVD player that is toddler proof ? Is there a portable DVD player that you can lock the buttons for a button-pressing obsessed toddler?

This product (Sony fx930) does have a "hold" feature that locks the buttons. (The remote still works while "hold" is on though.)

Seems like there is. I've purchased 2 different ones at different times in the past 6 months; one from Amazon and another from Babies R Us. Both exhibited stuck or stuttering sounds/lights in about a month's of use. We don't live in a humid/salty climate that could affect electronics. Our 11 month old is not that big and no other children played with the toy in question.

Yes. I use a case where i fold the screen flat and slip the entire DVD player in it. This prevents my son from being able to kick it in the back seat. This player has been great.

I don't know much about these locks but I would maybe suggest like hotel locks for the top of your doors. That way if your toddler does open the door they can't get out because of the latch.

This is only a DVD player, not a blu-ray player. I've been using mine for 2+ years if I remember correctly and my child is not the most gentle in the world and everything still is working great.

Our Grandson, who is just 18 months old, has had these players for at least three months, we have three that we rotate for charging and different music, and has not yet broken one despite being tossed to the floor many times :) Depending on how you put it in the house you may even be able to use the built in flashlight as "studio lights"?

The key is to lock the carousel. For example, if you want to child-proof your DVD/CD/BluRay. Hope that helped answer your question.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.

I bought it for my 2 yo . She is 5 now, and she and her 2 yo sister still enjoy it tremendously. Upper age limit? No idea when kids will consider it "not cool anymore". BTW, the player was dropped couple of times and survived with no damage at all.

Almost all electronic toys for toddlers+ are battery operated. I have an 18 month old and we buy batteries every couple of months now.And, yes, Elmo Live requires 6 AA's (not D's- where the heck would they put those!) =)

Nope..no remote control. So if you like to take if far with kid driving and you on foot and on way back if kid decide not to drive it again, count on sore hands or sore lower back for sure, depending on how you bring it back home. Ideally, put it in a car , go to a open space(park/indoor room), Let kid have all the fun and then repack it in your car and bring back home.

yes I have done it. I started dubbing my sons dvd's just in case they get scratch, broke, and etc...so i don't have to go and buy the same movies over and over again. I keep the original safe and when the dvd is non usesable I just make him another. But since he got older to put the dvd in himself and scratching it up I tried puting it on usb and the clarity is the same as if it was on a dvd. but the flash drive only go to 16gb and I had more movies i wanted to put so I got a 250 portable hard drive and it is working perfectly. I also invested in a portable and home dvd player that is usb capatible so instead of me haveing 50 dvds, cases and cases of dvds. I have 1 portable hard drive with over 50 movies on it that I watch on my computer or regular tv. Some of the plasma come with usb ports so you don't even need a dvd player.

I'm confused... The specs on this page and in the downloadable user manual both say it has repeat...That's the main thing I need on a portable DVD player and why I was considering this one....However, it doesn't go into detail about the repeat, is it repeat for title, chapter, A-B, or all three?I need the A-B repeatWhat gives?

This is a sturdy case, in my opinion. It also has a Velcro strap inside main compartment to secure your DVD player with, preventing it from moving around inside. A back pocket also has pouch to hold DVD remote (if your player comes with one), in addition to slots to hold (I think) about 6 dvd's... Hope this helps.

No it is not suitable for a toddler to push. It's just too small and short for that purpose.

If the children will be wanting to play music CDs, DVDs, or Games on CD-ROM, this won't work for that because it has no optical disc drive (aka cd/dvd drive). I would recommend something with a more common operating system like Windows or Apple. I also know many children who enjoy using machines running Ubuntu Linux. If you want something durable, I would look into getting a Thinkpad. They have spill-proof laptops with reinforced frames and lids, etc.

Jenny: This is the 4th one of this type of DVD player I have purchased. We have never used ours while traveling, but if you power down, which I would assume you are doing, no they do not pick up where they left off. So we only use the scene selection to find as close to the scene where we left off when we go back to watching the movie. I hope this helps. They are very durable and very easy to use. The pink one I purchased for my granddaughter, I have a black one like it for me and a slightly larger one my husband uses in his "man cave" LOL. I also had one for several years, before it went bad where you plug in the charger. That is the only one we have had problems with and it had MANY hours use before this became an issue. Cindy
