Extra fun
Now that you've taken the plunge - it's time to check out the toys!
•If they don't come standard with your machine, wireless headphones are a must! Ahh… the sound of silence!
•If your DVD player is not hard mounted, invest in an AC adaptor. You can take it into hotels on the road, or right into Grandma's house, where they don't have cable!
•If it's not included, get a remote control - it sounds silly, but if you can't reach the machine from where you're seated, it could be dangerous to remove your seatbelt while the car is moving.
•If your gang is into video games, be sure to get a DVD player with gaming inputs. You can hook up a video game console and keep the kids occupied for hours.
