Just came back from a trip with the new Sequoia. 5.7L, 4wd, 6-speed. Denver to Albuquerque round trip w/o trailer. Loaded down with 4 kids and luggage. 75 mph everywhere allowed. 18.5 mpg southbound, 19.0 mpg northbound. Vehicle traveled well, comfortable, quiet. One major complaint with the vehicle. With 3 kids in the 3rd row seat trying to share one dvd player, sometimes wish the vehicle was another 25' longer. Gas was $3.85 when we arrived in Albuquerque!

I have run into same situation with the dvd player. At the time of purchase of my suv I had them throw in an extra set of wireless headphones. At the beginning of each trip I pick the movies out and just stick them in. First kid to complain loses his/her headphones. It works everytime.

Poor kids these days, they have it so tough!!! I remember being crammed in the back seat of a corolla on every trip and having to listen to my parents. Now that was torture!!!

Glad to hear you like the toy, it was on my consideration list when I bought.

Have you thought using Duck tape and some velcro to solve that problem?
