We used ours for only a few weeks before it failed. First, the front latch broke, which made it hard to close to enable play. Then the rear left hinge broke, making the unit unusable. Interior inspection revealed that both parts were built without much fatigue resistance, making them subject to mechanical failure. The Sony optics and electronics continued to work, but the mechanical case parts were poorly designed. Additionally, the picture is small and grainy, really only suitable for a young child. The max battery life was a bit under 2 hrs and the unit was unable to play when charging. No vehicle adapter was included. Now looking for a more solid replacement; the Disney unit is headed for the junk heap.

I purchased this for my son for Xmas (he was 2 at the time) so that he would be able to keep occupied with a DVD wherever we go. It is simple to use, and he can change dvd's and play them all my himself. I love the little stand to prop up the dvd on a table for easy viewing. Believe it or not, ir has stood up to a 2-year's abuse quite well.

I bought the Mickey one for my son over two years ago then bought the Princess one for my daughter a little later...we love them!! They both just started to fail after HOURS upon HOURS of use. With long car rides and long plane trips both kids have been occupied beyond our expectations. The first problem was with the Mickey one where the internal battery will not charge, so it can only be used as a plug. The other one, is intermittantly working with a DVD in it...it will have to be replaced. But no kidding, my kids have used these everywhere and they've stood up through it all!

My 3 year old daughter just got this for Christmas...this item was bought in Panama City, Panama, in 2010, imagine my dissapointment to see that the battery didn't charge..and when I got a close look, the product was not even new. I inmediately made a search in the amazon review and it turns out to be an old equipment, maybe refurnished, maybe not, but it definitely had a problem with the battery. Thanks to the Amazon reviews I found out that there was a recall back in 2006 or 2008, I used this argument with the store and fortunately they game me the money back so my daughter could pick something else.

The product is small, portable, if you want to use it whit the plug, go ahead but kids want to carry it around...and it is not possible because the batteries won't charge.

I bought one of these for my son and to date it has not worked at all. Keeps freezing up. Battery wont charge. Basically its a waste of money. I sent mine back for a refund and wentto Best Buy and bought a Dynex for 150 bucks, a little more than I wanted to spend but it worked right out of the box which right away was na improvement, plus my son can use it easily.
Do not buy this item, it is only a headache

I got this as a gift for my little one and it had defective batteries which had to be replaced. This was evidently the second replacement as the unit had a battery recall in the past and they were not the originals anyway. So days later, new batteries arrive and they operate. Then the player stops reading the DVDs and freezes constantly. All in all, it was about a week of using it and I still hear my son ask me for this broken player. We sent it back for a refund and are looking for a replacement that is more reliable. Do not waste your time.
