kids portable dvd player

I got my kids a portable dvd player for in our van for long trips, but it only has one outlet for headphones. I know that there are extenders and splitters, but do they make an extender with a splitter on the end, and if they do, where can I purchase one? Thanks.

Any electronics store should have something, but here is what I found online:

Hope this helps.

I am going on a long car trip (9 1/2 hours) w/ 3 kids under the age of 6 in a mini van that cannot have 3 car seats in one row. I do not want the DVD player in the roof of the car. Ideally I need one w/ 3 screens or 1 screen to hang between the 2 front seats, and a separate screen in the back. I would like to have one w/ headphones for all 3 kids. I would love any recommendations. It's very hard to search for this on-line.

Are there any guidelines regarding bringing & using a gameboy & portable dvd player on a flight. Probably not using the dvd player just for transportation but definitely using the gameboy.

Thank you.

Yes but you can't use them on take-off and landing. Easier if you pack them before boarding and bring them out once in the air.

You didn't say the age of the child but make sure s/he is used to wearing the headphones and understands to keep them on for watching the movie. You might want to bring an extra set. Same goes with the gameboy. They make annoying noises so please make it clear to him or her that the sound is to be kept turned down while onboard. Special rule just for the flight!

Electronics can be lifesavers when flying with kids but please make sure they're juiced up and/or bring extra batteries. It's such a bummer for the kid when those gizmos run out and there's still a lot of the flight left. Usually you can't recharge them onboard.

As an extra tip, bring a brand new movie and/or new game and present them once you pull them out of the bag onboard.

For more tips on flying, I have a totally non-commercial article on the subject, originally written for an expat publication. Feel free to check it out.
