Looking into a new car, and considering one with a video entertainment system. The price seems to be about an extra $5k to $10k. At that price I wonder if I should just buy four tablets, one for each kid. Thoughts?

You could even buy 1 tablet and attach it between the front seats.

Depends on age of kid. If you’re apple, iPad is great.

But you wouldn't be using them. The kids will figure it out quickly.

You should never pay 5 to 10,000 more for it. My truck has one built into the headrests
