How is this for long drives?

My son snoozes happily in it. The "wings" at head level really help keep his head in a comfortable position. The only issue we have is his rear end gets sore - but really, that could happen in any seat after a long ride when your legs don't touch the ground.

My 6 year old son got it for Christmas, and has been pretty rough with it. So far it is working fine. I would strongly suggest getting rechargeable AA. The transmitter is still on its original set, but the truck itself lasts about 3 hours of continuous use.

On average about six hours of continuous use. Bought it just for occasional use (i.e long trips). Best one I ever had.

We've used it for several long over 2 hour drives and baby seems comfy. Used it for a 9 month old and 2 year old different times it worked well for either

I used mine to go from south louisiana to dallas texas and back and drove 75 - 85 mph...I had a Chevy impaled...it did fine..no drag...the only reason I dont use it now is that it is hard for me to load and fold by myself...two people just fine...we use it now on the back of the car when we go camping to carry extra equipment

This works well when you need to reach a few extra miles. It's way better than the little stick that comes with the amplifier. Mostly because it's longer (from the radio wave perspective). The spring is a must have if you're going to possibly drive under any low-hanging objects. I had one without the spring mount and snapped it off when I hit a branch. If you want to really reach distances, though, look at a directional antenna. I can shoot 30 miles to the nearest tower with a directional antenna for 3G and 4G signals: Wide Band Directional Antenna 700-2700 MHz This works well when you need to reach a few extra miles.

Not very long not impressed I would choose different kind . I'd say maybe 6 months I drive a lot at night tho

Yea but it goes away. I suggest driving over 55 for at least 30min or so. A little day trip.

I've had the unit for about 2 months now and drive quite a lot for my job and I love it. To this point I haven't had any issues. A VERY, VERY heavy tree canopy or large cities with lots of high rises are about the only thing that I could see possibly causing an issue with the devices ability to "see" the GPS sats. This unit doesn't need cellular network access, so distant, rural areas shouldn't present any problems. One thing to note, if you haven't driven your car for a few days, it will take a minute or two for the device to "re-lock" onto the GPS sats, but then it works just fine. Not really a big issue in my mind.

Very good. I literally went from FL to CA at 70-100 mph without a problem. Just double check straps whenever you stop for gas.

Hi Mark,I've had this for 6 months now, I drive pretty fast all the time and haven't noticed much of a difference with fuel efficiency, but you can feel a difference in the power, and the sound is great.

It's fairly fast. I was using it to commute over 2 miles daily and it treated me very well. It will need minor adjustments to trucks and wheels of you get it

Our does not last a full 5 hours but it comes close, at least 4 plus. We typically do road trips so the car power plug comes in handy.

On the highway, with the gas saving tune I gained a couple mpg. It does really good with premium fuel. In the city it's not that great. If you drive a lot of highway/freeway miles then it's worth it. I put dual flowmaster super 40s and a K&N; on it as well and if I drive right I can get 18+ mpg on the highway

Yes. I think you will like it. I keep my insuline in it. Its good for all 10-12 hours drive.

We have 2 for kids. Work fine for car trips, 4 or 5 hours from full charge.

Well, we never actually timed it or took the temp. I will say that on a 9700 mile road trip of 43 days, it operated beautifully in our Smart Car (www.vegan-roadtripusa.com). We had one issue with the fan making a racket if you put pressure or pack things too close to the power side where the fan vent is, it will hit something and make noise. By adjusting the cord and pressure this went away. Other than this, it worked beautifully and we are planning to use it again all through 2014.
