We have two, a pink one for a girl and a blue one for a boy. Are they perfect? No, but they are pretty good for what they are - kids players. We are very happy with them overall and the kids each love theirs.
With just a little supervision, they can be used by very small children. Ours started as young as 2. They are fairly tough. They can take some banging around. Ours have never broken or badly malfunctioned, but then they haven't had that much rough treatment. We are trying to teach the kids to respect things that need careful handling. So far, so good.
The kids absolutely love them. They can put them on their laps and it's theirs. Many times they prefer them to the big screen TV. I think it makes them feel more in control.
The screen is small, but kids have no problems at all. I have even seen 2-3 kids watching the same screen.
They sometimes skip a bit and I think one froze once, but overall they work and there have been no major failures.
They do take quite awhile to come up at first and I have never figured out exactly what all the buttons do. Many buttons cause it to start over from the beginning of the DVD. Trying to get them to pause and then start right back up has been a problem, but then maybe I just don't know how to work them right.
One charge lasts about an hour or maybe a little more. We like that. When they run out of juice, we can get the kids to do something else, like go to bed. ;-)
They sure make long plane trips and waiting in the boarding area much easier.
