Five Gadgets to Keep Your Kid Busy On a Trip

If you're thinking about getting on a plane, train or automobile with your little one, you had better not go empty handed. Combine a toddler's short attention span with being confined to a small space for hours on end, and disaster isn't far behind. So how do you make sure things don't go horribly wrong on your next trip? Stock up on some of these travel toys now and keep them close. You never know when you might need them.


Travel DVD with long battery life

While we don't regularly sedate our kids with video, the rules change on long trips, and DVD players can be a much-needed lifesaver. Fully charged, the $210 LG DP81 portable DVD player promises five hours of playback time thanks to a small, streamlined battery. The eight-inch LCD screen swivels and displays movies, still images and CD track information. The LG includes twin earphone jacks for two people to watch and listen at the same time, so it's a perfect way to keep two kids busy at once or let dad get his 'Finding Nemo' fix.
