Before I was a parent, my idealistic self claimed that I would never be one of those parents who use the TV as a babysitter.
But now that I have a daughter, it's such a blessing to have these litle gizmos. Not only do I have a portable DVD player for my daughter, I also have a MP4 player (Creative Zen Vision W) that has a bunch of kids stuff on it for times when the DVD player isn't handy to carry around or when the battery has died on the DVD player.
On a recent 8 hour road trip (each way), my daughter watched Finding Nemo for 8 hours straight each way without crying (she's currently 2 years old). What a blessing!!!
