Traveling by car with children: DVD, yes or no?

During this special of Babies and more on travel by car with children we have talked about the importance of giving everyone their responsibility inside the car, we have also tried by all means that there is no dizziness and, for the smallest of the house, when it comes to travel by car with babies, we have referred to child restraint systems and also when they do not stop protesting. A little of everything, go, to enjoy our trip by car.

But we all know that a trip can be made very long If we don't have something to hang out with. They are many kilometers and many hours without we can move from the seat, and that does not usually sit very well for children, so something must be done. And in recent times it has become very fashionable for children to be distracted during the trip by watching a DVD movie.

But is it positive that children watch movies in the car?

There is no single answer to this question, and that is why we are going to open a debate with all of you, so that each one gives his point of view. As a starting point, I can think of some pros and cons for children to use the DVD for the duration of the trip.

In favor of the DVD in the car

  • If you don't usually watch TV a lot, the DVD can be a 'prize' for children.
  • If the duration of the film is ideal (depending on the age of the children), you can entertain them.
  • The hypnotic effect of the images can reassure and numb them.

Against the DVD in the car

  • The screen can isolate them from the outside world, which taken to the extreme can cause them difficulties when paying attention to other stimuli.
  • The decision of which movie they are going to see may be the subject of a bitter discussion.
  • Looking at a screen can make children sensitive to this disorder dizzy.

Surely the solution to the problem will be in making a rational use of this resource, using it from time to time and in its right measure, but there may be someone who says that it is a perfect way to distract children throughout the trip and there will also be those who think that putting a movie in the car is to take away the grace To take a family trip.

And you, what do you have to say about this? When traveling by car with children, yes or no to the DVD?
