$176 of pleasure or pain?

$176 Portable DVD Player

We bought Letitia a portable DVD player with an attached screen. One that she can carry with her everywhere she goes. She watches it at home, in the stroller, in the car and in bed.

But now she refuses to go anywhere without it. We have to bring along even when we go to the wet market. What started out as something to keep her occupied and give us some relief has now become a curse.

Now I am worried about radiation and the screen being to too close to face and spoiling her eyes. But I can't seem to yank the damn thing out of her hands. Even when the battery is flat I have to charge it while she is watching it.

What have we done? She refuses to sit in a stroller or the car seat unless she has device playing a Hi-5 disc. The only way to get her out of the car is to bring the darn thing along.

Good review! I am tempted to get one but don't think i can deal with the demands for having it around with them everywhere. Nope, not getting one.
