That could be a solution in the future, but at the moment the younger is still facing backwards as it's a lot safer, and safety trumps boredom all times.

Just download the movie to both tablets and let them watch stuff independently, that what we do with our 2 and it stops the fighting.
In fact, on long journeys, my eldest now sits up front, and mum goes in the back with the youngest.

Nothing to do with that, it is just I need someone to have decent conversation with and doesn't block my view of the the door mirror.

Now being the four year old he is, our eldest decided to test the strength of the cable between the two units.
Faarrrkkkk me! What are you lot doing now as parents?
Mine got to sit in the back and were engaged with us in conversation and song. If they didn't want to play nice they got told 'To sit down, shut up and hang on'.
Both were under 3 when they were put in the booster seats (now the kids have to be in proper baby type seats until 7). Both decided to play with the seat belt and undo it. Both were introduced to 90 degree turns and flying across the car to hit the opposing door. Neither played with the seatbelats again and they didn't whinge too much, even on long trips.

20 Questions
Mix tapes of sing-along songs
When I was a kid the worst car game we ever played was "cattle cows:
The idea (as I remember it) was that we had to take it in turns to say "cattle cows" once for every cow we saw, before they were no longer visible. One point for each one successfully said..
Fine when driving out of the Midlands - not too many cattle to be seen, and mainly only glimpses over or through hedges.
But once you got into the Welsh countryside, and once we allowed sheep - the shout of "cattle sheep" was loud and constant for mile upon mile.
Dad's solution? Stopped the car in the next village, got out without a word, went into the pub.
Happy days!

Whatever happened with the "Escape from duct tape prison" game? Lets see, a 15 hour trip, 15rolls of tape to escape from.

ahhhhh, reminds me of a road trip we once took, 45 mins in I was in a shopping mall looking for a new car dual dvd player for exactly the same reason. The new unit we ended up with is no where near as good as the previous one which came from aldi and was half the price

Went to Aldi to look for a new one, it was better than the old one, but the cable was to short.

I totally can't check that link at work, but I do know that my name matches that of some porn guy apparently. Nice to know the name carries that far in case I need a second career.
