Best Car Headrest Video Players of 2026

"I found these DVD players to be super simple to set up and the picture and sound are impressive for the price. The remote control makes it easy to use from the front seat, and they keep my kids happy on trips. The only downside is the screens are smaller than I expected, but they still work well for our needs."

"For our long road trip with two kids under three, I was glad to have these. The installation was quick and both screens worked well at first. Unfortunately, the car charger was a bit short and broke fast, and the second screen stopped connecting after a few hours. Still, when they worked, they kept the kids entertained."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and ease of use of these car DVD players. The battery life is impressive when not plugged in, and the sound is great. Definitely a budget-friendly find for keeping everyone entertained on the road."

"I got this for my kid-in-law right after they got their driver’s license, and I’m glad I did. Setup was super easy—no need to mess with the car’s internal wiring. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly, and the music and calls can be played through various options like Bluetooth, radio, AUX, or even the device’s own speaker. The backup and dashcams deliver clear visuals, and the screen is sharp. It’s a bit bulky, so make sure you have enough dash space, and you’ll want some cable management tools for a tidy installation. Overall, it’s a great way to keep young drivers focused on the road, and I definitely recommend it."

"After trying out the Apenet Wireless CarPlay Screen with the 2K dash cam, I’m seriously impressed. Connecting wirelessly to CarPlay is effortless—there’s no need for cables, and it pairs instantly every time. The 2K dash cam captures crisp, reliable footage day or night, which gives me peace of mind. The 8.1-inch touchscreen is bright, responsive, and easy to use, even in sunlight. Installation was a breeze—no permanent changes or complicated wiring, making it perfect for older cars or rentals. Having CarPlay and a quality dash cam in one device has made my daily drives safer and more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade their ride."

"This device turned out to be just what I needed. The dashcam quality is more than enough for everyday recording, and Bluetooth connectivity with my Pixel was quick and easy. The adhesive mount is impressively strong—it hasn’t budged at all. I didn’t do the full backup camera installation (didn’t have time), but running the wire through the trunk still works for me. Even though the reverse camera doesn’t pop up automatically, I can access it on the device when needed, which gets the job done."

"I was looking for something to keep my two young boys entertained on a long trip, and these DVD players were a lifesaver. Both kids could independently pick and play their own movies thanks to the front-facing controls, and the rechargeable batteries meant the movies kept going even during stops. The fact that either device can act as the main player is really convenient. Mounting in the car was simple, and the built-in kickstands made hotel use easy. I'd definitely buy these again!"

"We bought these for our kids who are a few years apart and like watching different shows. The image and sound quality are excellent, and the controls are simple enough for our youngest to figure out. The battery lasts for about five hours, and the kit has all the accessories you could need. We had a minor issue with one player not working, but both Amazon and Wonnie's customer support were fantastic, quickly helping us resolve it."

"After using these DVD players for almost two years, I can say they've held up perfectly, even with two young kids using them regularly. The fast-charging battery and great picture make road trips a breeze, especially in areas where WiFi is unreliable. My husband and I even use them to watch our old DVDs. Absolutely worth the money!"

"Setting up this DVD player was a breeze, and now my kids can each watch their own movies on trips. No more fighting over what to watch—amazing value!"

"I picked this up for my grandsons’ hockey trip, and it was a total game changer. Traveling is so much easier, and the boys are thrilled! We did have one headset that didn’t work, but thankfully had a spare."

"We’ve taken this on several trips, and it’s been a real lifesaver for keeping everyone happy and entertained."

"I really appreciate the solid build and great sound quality of this DVD player. It's been a lifesaver for long drives with my toddler, and the fact that it mounts securely to the headrest makes it even better. My kiddo stays happy, and I stay sane on the road!"

"What stands out for me is the versatility to play both thrifted DVDs and movies from a flash drive. Unlike other models I’ve tried, this one handles modern downloads with no problem. It’s been a perfect solution for road trips when cell coverage is spotty."

"I had a minor issue with my initial purchase, but I was blown away when the customer service team proactively reached out and resolved everything. Now, my DVD player works perfectly, and I can honestly say their support is outstanding. If you ever run into trouble, just contact them—they'll take care of you!"

"I love how these mounts securely hold both monitors even on rough roads. I’d recommend them to anyone who needs a safe way to set up a child’s DVD player while traveling!"

"No more velcro stuck in my hair—these brackets fit my 2010 Honda Odyssey perfectly. With the included longer screws, I easily installed my Sylvania Blu-ray DVD players and can switch them between cars. I plan to get a few more for our other vehicles."

"These brackets are a great replacement for our old system. They’re robust and easy to attach, though I wish they had the location pin to prevent rotation. Overall, I’m very satisfied!"

"For our long road trip, these DVD players were a lifesaver for my kids. I loved that they could each watch their own movie, and the simple setup made things so much easier for me. The fact that everything I needed—headphones, remotes, all accessories—came in the box was a huge plus. These really are a super convenient solution for traveling with kids."

"I wanted something with HDMI input for a Roku, and these screens fit the bill perfectly. The flip-up DVD design is user-friendly, and the screens are the ideal size for the car. While the included headphones are a bit basic, the system overall is a great value and doesn’t break the bank."

"Initially, this DVD player worked wonderfully, but after about six months, I noticed one screen started glitching and shutting off. I tried using the recommended cords to connect other devices, but couldn’t get the sound to work. Also, the headphones were too large for my kids. It’s a bit disappointing given how well it started."

"For our 10-hour family drive, these DVD players were a game changer. The picture quality is bright and crisp, and the setup with universal mounting brackets was a breeze. I appreciate the included headsets—they helped keep peace between the kids, and the build feels sturdy and long-lasting. Being able to use them in both the car and living room makes them even more valuable."

"The installation process was simple, and I was impressed by the sturdy headrest mount. The remote makes it easy to control from the front seat, but I did notice that sometimes it struggles to read discs. I picked this model because the slip-in disc design avoids the 'open' errors during bumpy rides. Overall, I’m a bit frustrated with the disc recognition but still see the value in its design."

"As a parent, I found this DVD player to be an essential for long trips. The suction disc slot is easy for kids, and the picture quality is sharp. I love the region-free compatibility and multiple format playback. The only downsides for me are the lack of a built-in battery and the bulky headrest mount, but those are minor compared to how well it entertains my kids on the road."

"I got this portable DVD player for my grandson, and it’s been fantastic for keeping him entertained—especially mounted on the back of the car headrest. The picture and sound are both excellent, and the price was really reasonable."

"I decided to upgrade to this model from a smaller version and I couldn't be happier. It's super simple to use, the sound and image are impressive, and it’s definitely worth every penny."

"This player is a lifesaver for our road trips with the kids. It's very easy for them to manage on their own. My only minor complaint is that it doesn't play Blu-ray discs, but otherwise it’s been perfect for our needs."

"The 12-inch screen is impressively big and clear, making it perfect for the car. I found it simple to mount on the headrest and the setup was a breeze right out of the box. The last memory feature is a lifesaver since it picks up exactly where we left off. My kids are entertained on every drive, and the included headphones offer good sound quality. Overall, I think it's an excellent value and highly recommend it to anyone."

"This DVD player is a huge upgrade from our last one. My kids, even my 5- and 6-year-olds, can easily use it without help. The sturdy design, easy removal, and ability to play both DVDs and USB files make it super convenient for us. I keep it in the house when not in use and love how it stays safe and clean. Perfect for keeping the family entertained on trips."

"I was drawn to this player because the top-loading, auto-insert disc system seems much more durable and less likely for my kids to break. The picture quality is great and the volume goes high enough for road noise. The only small downside is that it doesn't come with an AC adapter, but since we mostly use it in the car, that's not really an issue for us."
