New Website Offers Insight Into Safety On In-Car DVD Players

Online, November 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Information on newly-launched website reveals that some types of in-car dvd players can actually be hazardous to your health.

While most mobile dvd-player owners may not realize this, two of the most common types of in-car dvd player (ceiling-mounted and portable) can potentially be a hazard to life and limb.

Ceiling-mounted dvd players, while popular, can increase your chances of being in an accident or collision, as they are usually mounted directly in line with the rear-view mirror, partially obstructing the driver's clear line of rear vision.

Another concern with flip-down DVD players is that they can be obvious targets for thieves. Professional thieves know what to look for through the windows of a vehicle, and will always look for that tell-tell shape on the ceiling of your car. There's really no way to camoflage a ceiling-mounted device, and it's inconvenient to remove it from your vehicle between long trips.

Likewise, portable dvd players can also endanger the driver and passenger. Possibly the most popular type of in-car dvd player, portable dvd players can quickly turn into lethal flying projectiles in the event of a crash or collision. While the durability of such players is commendable, having such a heavy object in your vehicle unrestrained could increase the likelihood of serious injury should a motor-vehicle accident occur.

For those concerned with safety but still desirous of some sort of in-car dvd player suitable for backseat passengers, the best option is a headrest dvd player.

This is one of the newest innovations for mobile entertainment systems, and is a safe, versatile and affordable option.

A headrest dvd player comes pre-installed in a car headrest which is then simply swapped for one's existing headrest on a particular seat. They can be easily removed to go on different seats, depending on your preference, and can even be used on the back seats to entertain toddlers and very young children in backwards-facing car seats. They are well-concealed into the headrests and therefore not an obvious target for thieves.

Anyone looking for an in-car dvd player that is safe, affordable and easy to install and remove is encouraged to consider a headrest dvd player as their best option.
