It’s never fun to get stuck in the backseat. You don’t have any leg room, and you can’t hear what’s going on up front, which means you have to awkwardly lean forward and say, “Sorry, what was that?” every 3 to 7 minutes. That’s if you’re an adult, at least.
Kids have it even worse. No, since they’re smaller, the leg room isn’t as big of a concern. And no, they might be happy enough not to be involved in the conversation going on up front. But they also live on kid-time. In kid-time, every minute of limited activity feels as though it is five minutes long. Which means a twenty minute car trip can be painfully boring, and a three hour drive? Forget it! That’s a whole lifetime of nothing.
Which is all to say it might not be a bad idea to invest in this Audiovox Universal Vehicle Tablet Mount. It’s super easy to attach to any car’s headrests. Then, all you need is a tablet and viola: the backseat is now a theater, and that long trip to and from the grandparents’ farm is an opportunity to plow through all four Toy Story movies.
And it comes with bluetooth headphones too, so whatever’s on in the backseat will stay back there.
Who knows? Maybe next time you take a road trip, you’ll have to stop and trade seats so everyone gets a chance to watch whatever they want!
