home dvd players

Be Warned: There are 2 different disney TV models: the 1300C and the 1350C. Target sells both (although some stores have one or the other). The 1350C is newer, slightly different design and is "compatible with the DVD player". The 1300C only has one audio input (white) and not the red one. You can tell from the front. My store's display had the 1300 with the DVD, so we got that originally. 3 days later, we exchanged for the 1350. OF course, the problem with the 1350 is that it does not stack as well as the 1300 (there are divits on top of the DVD for the TV, made to fit the 1300). It comes with a little plastic strap to secure it, but the strap does not reach the TV. So, we put them side by side (safer anyways). I gave this 3 stars as I do not know how the DVD is yet.

Ok, Keep your heads on people.

#1: A 3 year old does stuff you wouldn't dream about to electronics. Just because it's cute doesn't mean it's any more durable that the silver or black DVD player you have in your living room - are you gonna let the little tike touch that one? I don't think so.

#2: BUY THE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY FOR YOUR KID'S ELECTRONICS! It's only $14.99 at Target for that DVD player - 3 years too. Unless the kiddo physically breaks something visible, you're protected against the thing breaking down. Imagine day after day - sticky, nasty DVD's being loaded up roughly. Yech!

Do NOT go buy a Sony or some other more expensive DVD player for a toddler. Buy the "cheapest you can find" knowing you'll be back in a few months.

We got this last December for my 3 year old. We haven't had any problems with it. It's super easy to use and does the job to entertain our little one. The only thing I have an issue with is lately it seems to be a little temperamental about opening to put a disc in. I seem to have to push it a couple of times. But then again, there has been a 3 year old playing with it. I actually bought mine from Sears and purchased an extended warranty for two years and I still have time to go in case I want to switch it out for a new one. BUT, I wish I could have gotten mine for as cheap as Target is selling it!! =o}
