Well, let me tell you, these newfangled things they call rear seat entertainment systems are somethin’ else. Back in my day, we just stared out the window or played I Spy. But these days, the young’uns need to be entertained every second, I reckon. So, these car companies, they started puttin’ little TV screens in the back of cars.

Keep ‘Em Quiet Back There
You got kids hollerin’ and fightin’ in the back? This is what you need. They put on their little cartoons or movies or whatever, and you get some peace and quiet up front. It’s like magic, I tell ya. Keeps ’em from askin’ “Are we there yet?” every five minutes, too.
Now, I seen a few different kinds. Some of ’em, they got these screens that are built right into the back of the front seats. Those are fancy. Others, they got like a DVD player, you know, like we used to have hooked up to the TV. And some just let you stick your phone or your tablet in there.
- Built-in screens are neat.
- DVD players are easy.
- Phone and tablet holders are good, too.
Rear seat entertainment systems, yeah, that’s the ticket. Especially on them long trips. Lord knows, a long car ride can be a real pain in the neck, especially with a bunch of kids. Remember them family trips to see Aunt Mildred? Good lord. We used to drive my husband crazy! Now, these new cars got all these screens and stuff.
Different Cars, Different Systems
From what I hear, lots of cars got these rear seat entertainment things now. Big cars, like those SUV things. Them big vans, too. Heard someone say even them Honda Pilots got ’em. Fancy, huh? They say it’s good for families. More room for the kids and their stuff, and these screens to keep ’em busy. Honda Pilot, that’s a name I heard. It is a big car. Good for families I guess.
They say these things are gettin’ real popular. Makes sense, I suppose. Anything to make life a little easier, right? And if it keeps the kids happy, well, that’s worth somethin’. They got all the new ones now. Cost a pretty penny, though.

Now, I don’t know all the ins and outs of these things, but I hear they can be a bit pricey. But, hey, if you got the money, and you want to keep the peace, might be worth it. Especially if you’re planning on taking any long trips. That’s what I think at least. And I have been on a few long trips in my day.
What’s Best for You?
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of these rear seat entertainment systems, you gotta figure out what you need. You want them built-in screens? Or is a DVD player good enough? You got a bunch of tablets already? Maybe you just need somethin’ to hold ’em.
Some folks are sayin’ it is the best thing since sliced bread. These entertainment systems are the key to a happy family on the road, they say. They make those long drives a little more bearable. Good for keepin’ the young’uns occupied. I reckon it’s like havin’ a little movie theater right there in your car.
- Think about what your family needs.
- How much you wanna spend?
- Do you travel a lot?
Best rear seat entertainment system? Well, that depends on you, I guess. There are a lot of them out there. You need to compare and see which one is the best for your family. It is not like the old days. There are so many choices now. You need to find what you like.
Worth the Money?
I tell ya, these new cars, they got everything. Heated seats, those cameras that show you what’s behind you, and now these entertainment systems. It’s a whole different world. You will not be bored in these new cars, that’s for sure.

Now, are these things worth the money? Well, that’s up to you to decide. But if you ask me, anything that makes life a little easier and keeps the kids happy is worth considerin’. Especially if you spend a lot of time in the car. And who doesn’t these days?
Back in my time, a good family car just needed to run. But now they need all this stuff. If it keeps everyone happy on the road, though, I guess it is a good thing. But still, they cost a lot! You need to think if it is worth it. For some folks it is. For some, it is not. Depends on your family and how much you drive.
So, there you have it. That’s my two cents on these rear seat entertainment systems. They’re somethin’ else, that’s for sure. They keep the kids quiet. And that is worth a lot, I think. Just remember what I said, and make sure you pick the right one. Do your homework before you buy.
