I won't spend time praising the child-pacifying benefits of a car DVD system. That said, this piece does the job, accepting multiple formats and with good ease to set up. However, to pick on the absolute best (and what took me to choose this over other multiple options out there), I will say the stanchion mount lets me sleep in peace knowing if anything ever happened (aka car accident), the DVD will not end up as a projectile hitting someone in the car. Just look at these guys' crash test videos and that will give you some reassurance. The construction at first looke a little cheap on the outside, as it is to a great extent made of plastic (not metal), on the outside. However, to that same point, it looks quite durable and sturdy and "child proof" and although I am not willing to test this and would not recommend you do, I would expect it could take a few more hits than other competitor brands without any major damage. The connectivity for powersource is easy as the cigarette lighter cable goes straight to the mount, and you can just remove the player when you get out of the car (you don't have to spend time winding and unwinding cables every time). The screen has control buttons on the top (apart from a comprehensive remote conrtol), so controlling the unit from the front seat takes some time, but the LED screen does show an on-screen display mimmicking the buttons on top of the unit, so with just looking at the screen you can know where to find the buttons and what you are pressing. All in all, I think this is a great product and I would buy again. My only issue was that my Toyota Sienna had headrest stands which apparently were thiker than anticipated by the vendor, who supplied 16mm bolts (I think the size was M4 0.7 x 16) for securing the stanchion mount. The bolts were hence not long enough and the vendor gladly accepted to send longer ones, although what I got was a regular flat screw and not allen.. I do recognize the 20mm allen bolt wasn't available at the Depot, but I did find some on Amazon at a reasonable price. In any case, the bottom line is "first hand" the screws might end up a few millimiters too short and you might have to request from the vendor (or purchase) a pair of longer bolts. Again: I would not disrecommend the product just because of that (hence the 5 stars).

I own the 10' dual. The system works great. It is what I have been looking for. It is worth the money. I love the mounting brackets. You can take the dvds in and out with ease. You don't ever have to mesh with the cables or trying to remount them. Easy to use, my 5 yr old can work the remote control. I bought a seprate set of brackets and yo-yo cable so now we just unclick the dvds and easliy click them into the other car. They are ready to go. They can watch their own show or the same. you can even unclick one and bring it in the house, they have a built in battery and a DC plug. I love them and I would tell a friend.

**THIS IS A WARNING TO ANYONE IN AUSTRALIA OR THE WORLD CONSIDERING TO BUY NEXTBASE PRODUCTS DO NOT BUY OR WASTE YOUR MONEY**
I purchased the Nextbase Click9 Duo Deluxe Dual 9' Screen Portable DVD players in June 2011 from Nextbase USA. I bought this product hoping the ancap safety meant this product has been built like no other system and that i would be able to enjoy years of quality use. Nextbase even had on there website that they believe every customer is a customer for life. Boy did i get sucked in. They are very helpful and respond quickly to any sales enquiry but thats where it ends. I am really surprised Ford US has Nextbase a supplier.
[Product Fault]
DVD frequently stops and keeps going back to the screen saver screen (Nextbase) then starts up again and then a couple of seconds later it does the same thing and especially if the road is a little bumpy and will also do if on a smooth road as well.
[When Product Fault first occurred]
Approximately April/May 2012 (10/11 months old within 12 month warranty period).
Originally thought it may have been a dirty or scratched DVD.
We don't use the DVD players every time we drive so it had been a few weeks between each time we used it and to try and trouble shoot the issue ourselves.
I first emailed Nextbase 17th July 2012 (Just after the 12 month warranty). At the time of my first point of contact with Nextbase via email, my Brother in Law (29 years old) had just passed away and as a result my email was a short overview of the issue and later realized I didn't detail the trouble shooting period. After several emails from me, Nextbase eventually did send out new Stanchion Mounts hoping this would resolve the issue. After 5 months of originally notifying Nextbase of the issue and waiting weeks/months for them to respond, on 29th November 2012 (5 months after advising the issue), I was finally requested by Nexbase to send the items back for full replacement (At no time has Nextbase indicated that it was not covered under warranty nor that I would incur any cost for the replacement or shipping). The cost to ship from Australia to Nextbase in the USA was $126 AU and Nextbase received the items on 13th December 2012.
Due to the continued lack of communication/nil follow up by Nextbase, I emailed a request for my complaint to elevated to a manager/director of Nextbase. On 27th December 2012 the Sales Manager from Nextbase emailed to advise that he has reviewed my complaint and that they have repaired the DVD player and have decided they will not replace the items or reimburse the cost of shipping or accept this under warranty and that it will cost me $60 US for the items to be shipped back to Australia.
On 28th December 2012 I have since emailed Nexbase disputing their decision to not cover under warranty and it is now the 1st February 2013 and i still have no response or resolution. 6 MONTHS WITHOUT ANY USE OF THE DVD PLAYER OR RESOLUTION IS APPALLING.
There is no after sales service and from my experience Nextbase is the most unreliable and dishonest company i have ever dealt with. Its a real shame as i really thought i was paying for a quality product backed by quality service
I hope this review saves you the pain i have and am currently experiencing.
I've gone through many car chargers over the last year with my HTC EVO 4G. The problem I kept running into was the metal connection point (male end) would become slightly bent after a few months of use. Then I would have to wiggle it around to get it connected and it would still disconnect.
