KID-PACIFIER CENTRAL? A dual-screen DVD player for 89 bucks. I don’t know how good they are, but I paid over a grand for dual-DVD players in my Toyota, and this is making me feel pretty stupid. (Actually, I didn’t want ’em — that was the Insta-wife and -daughter. They’ve been used, but not enough for the price. Now for 89 bucks. . . . )

UPDATE: A reader emails: “I got the Axion dual screen DVD player for my grandsons for Christmas and they love. And so does my son who enjoys the peace while traveling.” Indeed. There are people who say it’s wrong to amuse your kids in the car with electronic gewgaws. Those people are called “childless” . . .
