When my son traded his DS in for a DSi, I found out that the DS car charger does not work with the DSi. There is a kit you can buy that allows for charging both in a car or a USB port but it cost more and all we needed was car charging.
We use it for long car rides or if we forget to charge his DSi, have to run out somewhere and he wants to play.
So far it has worked perfectly. What more can you say? It fits, it works and it charges.
Time will tell if it lasts.

*****************
UPDATE July 2010: The adapter is still working well!
UPDATE July 2011: The adapter finally gave out since the wire connection had been pulled on regularly. I have bought another one and wanted to point out that this works for a 3DS as well.

There isn't a lot to say about a utilitarian product like this one. You plug it in the 12v jack in your car(I have two)on one end, and plug it into the DSi on the other. There is a green led on the device indicating it is working, and the normal orange charge light on the DSi. I'm not sure, but I think it charges a little quicker on the adapter than from the original AC charger.

My son bought this shortly after he bought his DSi and discovered that his DS charger was not compatible. That was months ago and it still works great despite the beating it receives in our car. It's not perfect, sometimes I have it does not make a good connection and I have to turn it a little, but once I adjust it, it works great. Glad he bought this, makes long car rides much easier.
