We have often wondered why family cars don't have these as standard. Would be a great contribution to road safety IMO.

VinoEsmeralda · 16/08/2009 21:37

Strangely I was thinking the same when I was driving to Holland with my 2 DC (3 and 5) the other day! Preferably blackened out too so you cant see what goes on in the back...

maybe a child bubble is the way forward

Go for DH's solution - loud dance CD, keep turning it up every time you can hear them. Net result - two small children head-banging along to music and me with thumping headache

I too want one of those screens - although no doubt they would just throw stuff at it.

yep dh drives a black cab. Car trips with me and the dcs don't seem to bother him anymore..Unfortunately only 1 front seat.
