Mounting a computer in backseat of car?

Two potential issues with most solutions. It might imped your use of the rear view mirror if you placed it high enough for both kids to see and it might fly about the car injuring people if you got into a wreck even if its mounted. Something to think about. :)

You could get something like these.

Perhaps an easier solution would be a market-supplied DVD player meant to be mounted in an automobile.

I would follow pdworkin’s advice. I would hate to see the hardrive ruined because you hit a rough bump or hopped a curb.

I would also worry about any permanent mounting. My roommate left an iPod shuffle in her car and someone broke the window to steal it. I would just go with a few cheap mini DVD players that have a screen. I saw one at CostCo for 80 bucks the other day.

@Fred931 There isn’t a single one of those that are safe to begin with, but certainly not with kids in the car that could be hurt in the event of an accident.

DVD players aren’t all that expensive now and are far cheaper to replace than a computer, as well as designed to be securely mounted in a car.

thanks everyone for you comments. I am going to continue to look at headrest replacement options so that I will not have to worry about the safety issues.
