I have traveled with a portable dvd player in the past on planes, but had a very hard time hearing. Which has the best

(10 months ago)

If you're looking for a new portable dvd player the Toshiba SD-P2900 is a great buy...but something tell me your problem is not with the dvd player but the headphones you are using. If that's the case you may want to invest in a new pair of headphones. Not knowing what your price range is I would suggest going to the headphone category and selecting the "over the head" design they tend to have the best noise cancellation. Best of luck!

Are cheap car seats dangerous?

(1 year ago)

All new baby car seats are inspected and have to meet particular safety standards. So, even though it may be inexpensive, if it is a new car seat it will meet the standards. Make sure you buy a new car seat, since used ones do not have to meet these standards.

Answer

Is more expensive really better when it comes to car seats?

(1 year ago) +1 helpfuls

Not necessarily. The bigger and heavier the seats the better, since it will have more material to absorb an impact. So if the bigger and heavier ones you find are more expensive, then this might be true. However, all new baby car seats are inspected and have to meet particular safety standards, no matter what they cost.

5 Stars about T3 Tourmaline 83888 Evolution Professional Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer (1 year ago)
This blow dry rocks! It comes with a high and low air pressure setting, a cool air button, quite (well as quite as a hair dryer can be), and is extremely light. Say good-bye to the days you felt you have to ice your wrist down every time you finished blow drying your hair! I've had it for four years and it still works like the day I bought it.
